The 2014 BMW M4 might look this good

Once BMW unveiled its all-new 4 Series coupe, we knew it wouldn't take long for digital renderings of the more powerful M4 version to hit the Internet. F30Post worked with digital artist Wild Speed to create some really great renderings of the upcoming M4, and also compiled a good amount of information based on sources and educated hunches.

While it doesn't take much to imagine what the M4 will look like based on the styling of current M cars and recent spy shots, these renders finally give us something to ogle at until the car finally arrives. New cues include the more aggressive front fascia, bulging hood, carbon roof and bigger wheels and brakes. Wild Speed was also kind enough to show images in a spectrum of shiny colors.

As for the car's details, the article expects the M4 to be lighter, faster and more efficient than the current M3 using a "multi-turbo" inline-six engine producing somewhere around 395 pound-feet of torque. The M3 sedan could go on sale by the middle of 2014, but the M4 coupe isn't expected to hit the scene for another couple years.

That color on a BMW look's sick. Like the look of the bulging hood as well.

Oh my..... Bimmers just look amazing in blue hues, that rendering is no exception. Very very anxious to see what comes with this new 4 Series/M4...

Pretty hawt rendering, but that 4.0L V8 was a gem. I don't really care much that you can chip and tune those twin/tri turbo I6's to more power

The car itself looks great, but I don't care for the color much. Looks like a blend of their Laguna Seca and Estoril blues, or something along those lines.

Love the color! Also is it just me or can you folks see a wing (the way the background is) on it as well? (Alot like black series C class, or I may just be seeing things)

It looks very very aggressive. I was never a fan of the Z4s, but this thing is amazing.

This isn't a new Z4. The 3 series coupes are being replaced by the 4 series for the current F chassis models.

That looks like a beast! It's like a smaller M6. I want one!

Seriously hot!! Much better looking than all the previous M3s even though it's an M4?
