I personally think once audi put out the b7/b8 A and S series cars the 3 series has lost so much appeal. Not that they aren't still appealing cars, but they really had no competition before. Audi stepped their game up hard, and bmw is lagging.

that^^^
and, the 2007-2010 bmw 3 coupe with those massive 19s, sport suspension and the m body kit

but now the a5/s5 look better than the glued together headlight-and-kidney grill disaster bmw is trying to get us to like.

stop it! and go back to the simple stuff you were doing in 2005 3 series coupe and 2008 coupe

Real life video of the 4 series with m package.

I'm pretty disappointed with the overall look of the car, the concept was much nicer and I really didn't expect BMW to water it down by this much. Not saying it's a ugly car but it's nothing spectacular.

Thank you for the video.

Better than pictures.

Yes, I agree.

The production car is definitely watered down, and this is suppose to be a 4 series with the M package.

I still can't shake off that obvious hood line at the front.

Hopefully, the M4 will look better.

I don't like the two tone interior... It's nice when there is some Red accent/strip, but when the entire bottom half of the dash is red, it cheapens the look.

I think the M Sport package on the new 4 series looks amazing.

meh...I know 4 series is supposed to be a nice car or whatever but I can guarantee you that you'll end up seeing shit load of 4 series in Richmond. Perhaps more than Civic or Corolla.

Love it when people say "BMW's"/"Mercedes" are the "TOYOTA's" of Richmond. Funny thing is that I also hear this a lot in person from random people I meet.

So when I drive my NISSAN 350z in Richmond, I guess people see me as taking the public transit if brand new german cars = toyotas.

TBH, I was one of "those" people until I took one out for a test drive and was simply blown away in every way possible. The power, handling, interior, comfort and all these technologies are light years ahead of my supposedly sporty 350z.

Couple weeks ago, a friend who drives a SCION FRS was telling everyone how he didn't buy a BMW/Mercedes because, like how Timpo implies: "These German cars that cost 3x more than my car are garbage because it is too common"... But we all know the truth why he didn't buy it, he is not the smartest at spending money. Blowing out all his money on weed, alcohol, raves and clubs.

When I get a promotion at work at the end of the year, I can finally start saving up and pre-order the M4 beast.

Honestly don't care much about how it looks as long as it's not hideous. I buy a BMW for the "ultimate driving experience", eye candy is just a bonus lol

Not sure if the pricings been noted in this thread (didnt see it)
but its been posted over at f30post for about a month now


Quote:
428 Coupé Model Overview:

MSRP 428i: $44,900
MSRP 428i xDrive: $49,100




The 428i and 428i xDrive now come standard with Sport Line trim, which includes:

• Dakota Leather upholstery.
• Sport seats.
• 18” Light-alloy wheels.
• Anthracite Roofliner.
• High-gloss Shadowline.

(no other Lines are available on this
model).

The 428i (RWD) comes standard with a
6-speed manual transmission; optional
Sport Automatic for $1,600. The 428i
xDrive comes standard with Sport
Automatic Transmission (previous 6-sp
manual on the 328xi Coupe no longer
available on the 428xi in the US or
Canada).

428i Coupe with Sport Line, Mineral Grey Metallic

Significant enhancements to the
Premium Package include the addition
of key feature content:

• Navigation Professional (609).
• Rear-view Camera (3AG).
• Satellite Radio Tuner (655).

The 428 offers a new high value package that
has been heavily discounted to ensure all
models look as visually striking as possible:

“Performance Wheel Package” - $500:

• 19” Light-alloy wheels style 407
• High-speed set-up with performance tires.
• M Sport Suspension (RWD only)

19” Wheels Style 407

Please see product ordering guide for complete packages and options.





435 Coupé Model Overview:
MSRP 435i: $54,900
MSRP 435i xDrive: $55,600





The 435 models offer tremendous value vs. the outgoing 335 Coupé. Both the 435i and 435i xDrive come standard with Sport Automatic Transmission including Launch Control; 6-speed manual available as a no-charge option on both.

Continuing to differentiate our “35i” model range as the performance Halo within the line-up, the M Sport Package has been added to the standard equipment on the 435i and 435i xDrive (no other Lines are available). The M Sport Line includes:

• Addition of 19” M Alloy Wheels as standard.
• Sport Seats.
• M Aerodynamic Package.
• Anthracite roofliner.
• High-gloss Shadowline.
• M Sport Suspension (RWD).
• Front fog lights.
• “M” badge above Air Breather side vent.

435i with M Sport Line, Estoril Blue Metallic.

The 435 will offer the recently launched M Performance Package, featuring 3 high-value performance upgrades for only $1,500; they include:

• M Sport Brakes – painted blue calipers feature larger rotors, fixed 4-piston front calipers (from 2) on the front, and fixed 2-piston on the rear.
• Adaptive M Suspension - adds electronically variable-damping shocks to the functions controlled by the Driving Experience Control for increased agility.
• Variable Sport Steering – by reducing the steering angles by 25%, this feature adds more precision to steering inputs while improving steering feel. Automotive journalists are unanimous; Variable Sport Steering is a valuable improvement to handling and cornering.

19” M wheel style 442M with M Sport Brakes

Not bad looking coupe but nothing really special about it. I am curious in what the new S5 would look like in a couple years.

I like.

BMW "Concept" M4. Quotation marks because that will probably be what the production version looks like.
