2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe - The pilot
Here are a few things about the Detroit auto show related concept coupe BMW 4 that are urgent but not really very important.
1 It is not the concept coupe BMW 4 Series is the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe This logic of BMW and anyone else Let's move on.
2 It is a coupe series 3 you will have noticed the above title and almost every sentence in this story so far It's because 4 series, as BMW says, the digital shift is a sign of greater exclusivity this also makes sense to BMW, but it is the same company that sells a car called the Z4 sDrive35is just be happy that coupe and convertible to follow, aren t called Gran Turismo 3-series because it's really no meaning and will be ugly, but we digress.
3 And this vehicle, which notion there in the name, is not the idea at all, not even by the reduced standards descriptor At least when Honda unveils a production car and called a concept, it often does, it chops the side mirrors rolled some cameras shaped lipstick, sweet, facing backward in their place.
So we feel better now Anyway, here are the 4 Series Coupe all-but-totally ready for production which goes on sale next year low, wide and long, 4-series follows the stretched imprint of his parents, the 640i Gran Coupe It rides on a wheelbase of 110 inches 6, up nearly two inches from that of the cut output 3 series 4 series also blowing up nearly two inches wide 182 7 inches, the 4-series is longer than the model it replaces and its roof is about half an inch lower This gives the concept of the series 4 a low position, threatening.
This scarcity could also be due to what we're guessing are before deeper than the rear stocks and fascias The concept and certainly the production version is deliberately streamlined than was the previous car, with all kinds of raids and stamps it is the current fashion to a car body look like stretched metal skin and bones and muscles straight panels are spreading the concept's headlights entirely LED and the shaped taillights resemble elongated versions of those of 3 sedan current series.
In addition, the concept of the series 4 has something called, and we're not doing that, a breather Air This, it turns out, is the vent behind each front wheel which is aerodynamically efficient to affect the aerodynamics of in a way that's much better than the kind of sustained adhesive you buy at Pep Boys BMW claims they extract air from wheel wells before the body is painted silver metallic liquid and s trimmed satin aluminum inside gets chestnut wood trim end the search and leather seats, tanned with respect for the environment and trimmed with leather strips woven leather braided also finds its way to, of all places, the inner surfaces of cup holders which, although everything doesn t make any sense whatsoever.
Mechanical characteristics pfft The only thing BMW said about the car is that it has unique aluminum wheels 20 inches, the company stuck deep into the wells.
That said, we know that the production of the series 4 borrow turbocharged engines of his brothers and sedan sisters, which means that the 328i 240 hp four and the 335i with 300 hp six That production cars will be called 428i and 435i, or if they'll adopt a greater number of maximum exclusivity, is not yet clear transmission will include a manual six-speed automatic transmission and one to eight speeds This car also will be the basis for the next generation M3 coupe we learned will be called the name M4 M3 sedan will survive for the production version of the base coupe reaches dealerships in the fall of 2013.
