Finally saw it in person, M4 Competition Frozen Portimao Blue with black interior and carbon bucket seats. I have to say that it's not "mainstream" like the previous models - you like it or you hate it, no half measures. I'm in the first camp. I already liked it in pictures but live is amazing. The front end is aggressive and unique.

Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take photos. But the guy did turn on the engine, and I can confirm that the sound is pretty decent. Definitely louder than my M2 Competition but of course not as loud as the F82 M4 Competition. Less raspy also.

The carbon seats are beautiful, but could be a bad option if you are over size. They don't permit any movement and it's not very easy to get off the car. They are more beautiful than practical.

Why? It's not like the car is a secret anymore

Because it was a private event months before the official press release.

Oh. you posted that on December 19th so I assumed you saw it well after the car was public.

I did but not in the showroom, in a private room in the BMW Group Brand Experience Center in Dielsdorf, there were only me and the BMW genius.

Just noticed the rear wheels are 10.5" wide with only 285/30 rear tires. I'd venture to guess a large portion of owners will opt for 295 rears when the time comes. The F10 M5 had 295 rears on a 10" wide wheel and I consider the look to be perfectly flush.

Or 305 like M6 owners with 10.5" wheels

they omit 1ft rollout per the standard so technically yes they got 2.6s. I saw the M5CS doing the 2.6 range without omitting that so I suppose it depends on how you look at things
