Grant McHendryJul 20, 2012 Its a four door coupe. Its all because of styling.
Kevin BlockleyJul 20, 2012 Because they confused , 4 door 6 series??? , just go back to basics and let Benz and Audi do all the confusing mid way its not a sedan or a coup but in between thing that they doing ,
David JusticeJul 19, 2012 If they did all this, why release a 4-door 6 series?
Grant McHendryJul 19, 2012 @Mark its not a coupe if its a cabriolet. Its just a two door.
Tyler PaulJul 19, 2012 so will there be a 428i and a 435i as well that just sounds weird
Dimitris Xristos AlepousJul 19, 2012 im boring with germans.to many models for what??m3,m4,m5,m6,
Cory WilhelmJul 19, 2012 Why did they make a four door six series?
Brandon LidyJul 19, 2012 Maybe they want to change it up. I trust BMW knows what they're doing
Kevin BlockleyJul 19, 2012 Can understand with the m6 and the 6 series which was first born as a sporty 2 door 7 series. Where they coming with M4 , doesn't even sound right .Bmw always sets the trend , why copy Audi now. Don't fix what's not broken.
Mark Ifill-HaneyJul 19, 2012 Christian, there is an A4 Cabriolet, which is a coupe.
Kyle SmithJul 19, 2012 Never mind only the coupe will be the M4 so the RS4 would just compete with the classic M3 sedan.
Now all BMW needs is a 2 series and they'll have the numbers 1-7 covered.
Kyle SmithJul 19, 2012 The 335i has become a M3 in some aspects over the years, they probably want to make a strong distinction between the two cars. The 335i competes with the Audi S4 while the M4 would be squared against the RS4.
I still prefer the classic nomenclature.
Daniel EadsJul 19, 2012 If they have to do this they should have made the coupe the m3. More people buy it as a coupe and they would have a lesser chance of upsetting the m3 fan base.
Christian De PriscoJul 19, 2012 And there is no comparison between an m3 and an rs5
Jack HowardJul 19, 2012 I know its stupid that they are changing the name, but the name itself isnt stupid.
Christian De PriscoJul 19, 2012 I am sorry the a5 from Audi is a different car from a4 and a6 because there was never an a4 or a6 coupe.
3series have been around for decades in coupe and sedan hence the complaint from all of the BMW fans
Paul LissonaJul 19, 2012 Yah I like hearing three series four sounds weird to BMW enthusiasts like me.
Jack HowardJul 19, 2012 How does "M4" sound stupid? Its the same thing as M3 but with a 4 but somehow while switching the numbers, it suddenly sounds stupid? And there is already such thing as an M4. The M4 Carbine.
Chris GainesJul 19, 2012 I'm going to wait until the sedan comes out, buy a replacement m3 badge, and put it on my new m4! problem solved
John SerelyJul 19, 2012 I agree, Sam. "M4" sounds stupid
Igor NatsioksJul 19, 2012 Just wait for the 2 series:). Bring back the old 8. create a 9 and you got it all.
1-9
Matt PiccoloJul 19, 2012 K that's a stupid idea? Why would u do that BMW?
Lead PeddalinJul 20, 2012 I'm not sure about the paint. Try again BMW.
Max DelenaJul 19, 2012 BMW does a good job of disguising their cars

Kenneth WilliamsJul 21, 2012 Better be an I6. No v6 should be in a Bimmer
Jon JolyJul 20, 2012 @Zaire the I6 would be considered quicker since its lighter than the v6
Zaire WilkinsJul 20, 2012 V6 or I6 dosent matter aslong as its quick and performs well
Nick StiJul 20, 2012 Why do a throwback to the e46 M3 when the car will be an "M4"? Smh
Grant McHendryJul 19, 2012 @Daniel its an inline six. I'm pretty sire they're different. and yes they would.(
Brandon LidyJul 19, 2012 I think the inline 6 is a great choice. Sound pretty good, gets decent power and decent gas mileage
John SerelyJul 19, 2012 Same here Brian about the v10 sedans. I absolutely loved the prev-gen M5/M6 with the v10 (and the fact you can get them for under 30k lol)
Daniel EadsJul 19, 2012 Please, v6 on the table? There wasn't a chance in the world they would go with a v6.
Aislin CooperJul 19, 2012 If it had been a v6 I would have been very upset
Michael KozlowskiJul 19, 2012 Man I sure am gonna miss that V-8 in the current M3. That thing made me fall in love with the M3.
Description: Expect the new M3 sedan to debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, with the M4 coupe to arrive sometime after the release of the new 4 Series, perhaps as late as 2014.Add Comments0
Ferrari ItaliaJul 19, 2012 Thanks! But how can you tell how many pistons there are by looking at it?
Brandon LidyJul 19, 2012 The brake pistons press the rotors against the pads I believe. More pistons allows more friction, therefore better braking. Correct me if I'm wrong
Kevin BlockleyJul 19, 2012 Hmm!! Those brakes just tells your opponent @ the lights don't even bother, lol
Ferrari ItaliaJul 19, 2012 Can deceive what pistons are to me?
Alex VasquezJul 19, 2012 This is gonna be a great car
Johnny HooverJul 19, 2012 Finally bigger 4 piston brakes
Its a four door coupe. Its all because of styling.
Because they confused , 4 door 6 series??? , just go back to basics and let Benz and Audi do all the confusing mid way its not a sedan or a coup but in between thing that they doing ,

K that's a stupid idea? Why would u do that BMW?
I agree, that's a stupid move.
I agree with Sam. The M3 name plate has been around forever in coupe and sedan form so to separate is just stupid
It should still be called the M3. Stupid marketing move...
