The launch of the new BMW M3 Sedan and new BMW M4 Coupe sees BMW M GmbH
revealing an all-new interpretation of the high-performance sports car –
and carrying the BMW M philosophy over into the fifth generation of the
M3. More than 40,000 examples of the fourth-generation BMW M3 Coupe
were built, and now the BMW M4 Coupe is poised to continue this history
of success. The “M4” badge is a reference to the model series that
provides the basis for the new M model. And for the first time, the
Coupe will be introduced at the same time as the four-door variant,
which logic dictates will be christened the BMW M3.
The BMW i brand is synonymous with visionary mobility concepts and a new definition of premium quality that is strongly focused on sustainability. Following the world debut of the first production model, the BMW i3, the BMW Group’s next step will be to extend this revolutionary answer to the future challenges facing personal mobility to the sports car segment. At a driving event at the BMW Group’s Miramas test track in France, the BMW i brand is now presenting a prototype of its second production vehicle, the BMW i8. This plug-in hybrid model is the most progressive sports car of our time, extending the basic BMW i philosophy of sustainability to a new vehicle segment.
