Personally I don't give a fiddlers.. fiddle.

It's only a badge and the e30 M3 was completely different to its heirs and the only worthy to wear it :P

Quite looking forward to seeing the M4! :)

That M4 that was 'leaked' was a very skillful hoax. :(


Although it did look the dogs dangly bits.

Given a choice of the whole current BMW range, I'd probably take a 135M coupé or maybe the M6. Probably the 1 series. I don't want a 4x4 with dustbins for tyres and I don't want a coupé/SUV crossover. Just a sporty BMW with a roof, please. 1 series because it's light and flicky (for a modern car) and the m6 because it looks cooler than a cool thing with shades on.

This is surely sad news, I have seen the tv adverts for the m4 and it looks beautiful however why will they not carry on with the legendary 3 series it has always been possibly the most wanted bmw series of them all the 3 series.

The M4 will differ only on size and or styling just a tad however both the m4 and the m3 e92 look lush.

There's still a three series saloon and touring. The 4 badge is just a way to separate the coupe versions from the standard ones. Just badge engineering like everyone else does.
