Mods maybe consider condensing the following four threads with the current one. All pertain to the BMW 4-Series

It looks nice but man does it look huge. It looks almost as big as the 6 Series.

Looks very similar to the outgoing E92. Evolutionary not revolutionary, like the E90 to F30 transition. The vent on the side seems to be the biggest difference, but will have to wait for better pics.

I still think this is a bone-headed move renaming it to the 4-series, and my wife (Asian) says a "4" anything is a no-fly because 4 sounds like the word for death in Chinese. She told me the other week that she had M envy. Will have to ask her if debadging or even rebadging might be an option, LOL.

I believe it's longer than the 3-series sedan.

when it comes to coupes, Mercedes has them covered... Audi A5 is beautiful. This thing, not so much.

Looks....meh. The side vent is awful. The one still called a 3-series (the F30 sedan) looks much nicer.
