How did we ever live through Bangle ...

The F12 and now the F32. Good work by the Roundel.

I was wondering whether Bimmerpost were invited to the 200 guest only BMW design night which unveiled the Coupe.

I have pictures that I will post too.

Obviously the door handles will not make production on the F32. However, they need to become a reality for future BMW Coupés as a further distinguishable characteristic of the series.

Here's hoping to see it make production on the 2 Series Coupé.

These "real life" photos look much better than the previous ones. I still think the fender vent looks more for a vette than a BMW.

And they really need to tone it down for the production version because it looks way overdone

Looks good except for the big mouth bass front end. I'd prefer a more subtle variant I of the current F30 nose.

I hope you are right about the headlights. I don't think the door handles make it either, and the side vents are toned down in the production model.

He said "elegant"..

Can someone plz explain to me, what coupe driver, wants elegance?

Car looks wonderful, but def not for me. I'll wait to see how un-elegant the M4 is, before final judgement. But it puts a grin on my face when u see these designers talk about the cues on the car...

Outside of the car means zero when you are inside. So, things like; does this car have fly-by-wire steering.. is more important than a quirky design cues.


Interior looks good & I notice they have a manual... wonder if that is soley to tease America?

Right. We already caught a glimpse of the regular door handles and smaller side vent. Which is too bad because the Concept side vent looks better, and not so extreme that it would be out of place on a production car.

I wonder if the door handles & those beautiful rims will carry over to the production model?

I'm skipping this & getting the M4 when it's hopefully available for sale in summer/fall 2014.

I like it overall, but the car just looks huge though. Size of the 3/4 series has gotten out of hand.

its called a "concept" just like the 6 series concept didnt have the same bumpers as the production car. they do this for show, make everything look more futuristic like the door handles the mirrors and the bumpers also the wheels. the rest of the car is correct.

this is exactly what everyone said about the new 6 series that its "huge" now everyone thinks its nice. car isnt huge its just alittle bit bigger and wider then the e92 3 series. its a 4 series its a step up from the 3 series so size matters. (thats what she said)

Ok, to all our render gurus, can I get a render of a 4GC from the concept? To me, the long panel behind the door of the coupe will actually look better with GC doors; I'm thinking it will help disguise the size from bumper to bumper. Anyone up to the challenge?

The 4-series is a beauty! Lower and wider than the outgoing E92. I was debating on buying an S5 but looks like BMW has just come up with a very attractive coupe. My next car!
