The BMW 4-series Coupé M-Sport has been spotted testing on public roads near Munich. It marks the first time the M Sport's more aggressive front bumper has been seen undisguised.
The M Sport trim will sit at the top of the 4-series range until the M4
arrives. The four specifications offered on the 3-series saloon (SE, Sport, Modern and Luxury) are expected to feature on the 4-series aswell.
On the saloon, M Sport brings a 10mm drop in suspension on firmer springs and dampers. Furthermore, a more aggressive aesthetic is achieved through a unique bodykit and wheel designs. These changes will also distinguish the flagship 4-series from lesser models.
Previewed as a concept at the Detroit motor show, the 4-series will go on sale later this year, replacing the 3-series Coupé.
It’s clear from these images that although the large vents of the concept will appear on the M-Sport variant, the show car's full-width mesh insert and integrated tailpipes gives way to a more conventional design.
The concept’s razor sharp crease lines along the bodyside are clearly evident, although the door handle has moved above the strong line that runs from the front wing to the rear three-quarter panel.
The 4-series range will be launched with the Coupé, followed by aconvertible in 2014 and a four-door GranCoupe. Later that year the much-discussed M4 will finally appear, with a cabrio version in 2015.
