Default 2013 BMW 4 Series Coupé































Obviously BMW are replacing the 3 series coupe with the 4 series.

I have to say I like it. Not a fan though of the integrated exhausts in the bumper and obviously I wouldn't go a tan color interior but I do like it.
Can't wait for the M version.

i guess you do need a bigger monitor.
I am running it on a 15inch laptop from work and pics look ok to me.

Im running about a 32inch screen and I think they are pushing the limits on size.
Looks cool though. Looks very similar to a 3 series coupe to me.

Wow. I don't love the grilles in the front guards, and the interior (with it's woodgrain, and brown leather) looks a little 'rustic' which I think clashes with the ultra modern exterior.

Overall though, Wow.

WOW this car just looks stunning!

But I wonder how many of the smaller design features will be maintained in the final production version?

Aurion rear end makes me feel sick.

But the 4 series looks pretty cool, bar the grille area. Can't wait to see what the M4 looks like.

Brown interior is puke worthy though.

At first i was like "Cool audi"


But this is quite a looker...even that interior, looks very Germanic...BMW interiors have been quite bland lately...but this is nice...


What happens to the Z4 series? will they keep it?

Looks a little too "busy" with the details for my liking, overall shape and the rear and head lights look like an improvement.

Hate the interior - makes me think I'm sitting on the inside of a leather briefcase..

not a fan of the front end or the integrated exaust bit to try hard. Externally I prefer the E90 Coupe over the E92 and this but internally its a winner especially with a light coloured leather

I thought the same thing. The side on shot in the desert shows definite links to the Z4 in the front end.

Like it a lot, can't see myself ever buying another BMW though. Finally looks better than an Audi A5. Interesting to see what Audi counter with.

when you have to factor in transport to our island, conversion costs LHD to RHD and market base, how can you make that statement?
