2014 BMW M4 Coupe

The future of the BMW 3-Series has been altered significantly this past year, with the announcement of a new name for the coupe and convertible versions of the luxury car. From now on, these two variants will be sold under the 4-Series nomenclature, meaning that the M version will be sold as the M4.

We’ve only been able to see some spy shots of the 4-Series Coupe , but that doesn’t mean that we can’t put pen to paper to conjure up the look of the future M4 Coupe. For this we’ve taken BMW’s usual M-design elements like the front bumper, LED headlights, a wide track, and different side air intakes and added it to the 4-Series images.

What won’t be easily visible in this image is what’s found under the hood. The new BMW M4 will be dropping the usual V8 engine used in the M3 models and will replace it with a twin-turbocharged inline-six engine with an output of about 450 HP. This will allow the M4 to be both more powerful and more fuel efficient than that the M3.

Expect to see the new BMW M4 a few months after the 4-Series coupe set to be launched in 2013.
