The launch of the 2021 BMW M3 and M4 and their rear-wheel-drive Competition variants in September 2020 was a polarising one, thanks to the gaping grill. Yet, the controversial grill design has not slowed down the BMW M Range, which now gets new additions in the form of 2022 BMW M3 and M4 Competition xDrive.
The BMW M3 is an icon, and the M4 is essentially an M3 coupe with a different number as decided by marketeers a few years ago. For decades, the compact sports sedan and coupe were the benchmark that everyone else chased. But BMW is taking a “bold new approach” for the sixth-generation 2021 BMW M3 (and M4), and well — look for yourselves.
BMW is toying around with the idea of fitting extreme grilles to its new cars in a bid to make their cars look more distinctive and somehow more premium, starting with the large kidney grille on the X7 and 7-series. For those who did not like it, there’s more bad news. The BMW Concept 4 gets unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motors show which hints at the design of the next gen 4-Series and M4 coupes. And guess what, it’s got a large grille too.
After spinning off from the sensible 3-Series sedan, the BMW 4-Series range of coupes has been around for a few years now. The whole 4-Series family, which includes the Coupe, Cabriolet, Gran Coupe and the M4, has been given a small refresh for 2017 but you need a BMW-fanboy eye to spot the changes.
The year 2016 marks the 30th anniversary of the BMW M3, the automotive icon which became a benchmark of sorts for the sports car segment in 1986 and remains so five generations later. The 30th anniversary of the BMW M3 gives us the opportunity to put the spotlight on four unique variants that, for obvious reasons, never made it past the prototype stage, namely, the BMW M3 Pickup from 1986, the BMW M3 Compact from 1996, the BMW M3 Touring from 2000 and the BMW M3 Pickup revealed in 2011.
BMW has just revealed the new M4 GTS, a model that they call the “most agile, radical and powerful M4 ever,” which is amusing because the M4 nameplate has only been around for less than 2 years now. Maybe they meant the M3 as well.
BMW have released pictures and details of the 2015 M4 Convertible recently.
The 2015 BMW M3 sedan and the BMW M4 coupe have been revealed. The M4 is the replacement for the previous-generation M3 coupe.
Some weeks back we were treated with the BMW 4-Series with M-performance parts. But apparently, things are getting serious as BMW unveiled the M4 Coupe Concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance at Monterey recently.
