It's gaudy as all fuck, but it looks like what it is, and what it should be.

Oh god, it's hideous, cover it back up!
No.
Remind me why I would ever look at an M4 if this thing will be lighter, smaller, and have the same basic engine. Oh, and save twenty grand.
There has not been a "real" M car for a while now. Perhaps BMW can puts it model line up on the "Biggest Loser." Lets hope that they really are making a new M-car and that it has some of the "i" brand weight savings. Oh, and one more thing, a real NA straight six and an actual lever for the parking brake.
I priced one out on the website. It ended up just over 50k, I think. I placed an order for an ATS 3.6 premium, and it was considerably less than that, tax and tag included.
I said this before, BMW doesn't kill their lines they just slap a new badge number on them and move them on down.
This seems...boring. It's another BMW coupe with a 3L I6, 8-speed, and some fancy ///M accessories. This sounds terrible but I'm not really excited by this formula anymore.
Eh...most likely it'll be a turbo four with slightly less hp, slightly more torque, that is 30% more complicated than the engine it replaces, gets 10% better mpg. I guess at least it'll be tunable.

The mechanic: Oh, I see the problem here... You have a dead bird inside the engine.
