Aesthetics, dynamics, individuality
BMW presents the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe.
Munich. The latest generation
of the BMW 3 Series Coupe and Convertible leads the way worldwide in the
premium mid-range coupe and convertible market. Indeed few, if any, rivals have
made such a defining impact on this segment in terms of design, dynamics and
efficiency.
Now, with the unveiling of the
BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe, BMW is looking ahead to the fourth generation of
its sporty mid-range coupe – and reasserting its global leadership credentials
in the process.
The “4” – a sign of greater exclusivity and presence.
The BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe
adds a new dimension to the qualities of the BMW 3 Series Coupe in terms of
aesthetics, dynamics and elegance.
The “4” doesn’t just mark the
start of a new cycle, it represents the zenith of a development curve. BMW has
given the new model its own individual character and a standalone design – and,
in so doing, has turned “4” into segment shorthand for aesthetic and dynamic
appeal. The latest addition to a nomenclature that sees BMW building on the
fine tradition of its large BMW 6 Series and BMW 8 Series Coupes, the “4”
stands for greater sportiness, greater exclusivity and even clearer
differentiation from the BMW 3 Series range.
The design: a development curve reaches its zenith.
The BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe
allows the driver to experience the essence of this new, sporting and elegant
generation of car in the lap of contemporary luxury. An array of high-quality
details provide an exclusive showcase for the car’s perfectly balanced coupe
proportions. Inside, the expertise of BMW Individual, skilled handcraftsmanship
and carefully selected materials combine to create a supreme interior. The role
of BMW Individual in the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe’s development clearly
underlines the brand’s commitment to challenging itself constantly in pursuit
of perfection.
Lower and wider stance sharpens dynamics before a wheel is turned.
The dimensions of the BMW
Concept 4 Series Coupe imbue the car with a dynamic presence even when it is
standing still. The wheelbase (2,810 mm) is 50 millimetres longer than that of
the existing 3 Series Coupe, while 45 mm has been added to the front track
(1,545 mm) and 80 mm to the rear track (1,593 mm). At 1,826 mm wide, the BMW
Concept 4 Series Coupe is 44 mm broader than its predecessor, its roof line is
16 mm lower (1,362 mm) and it is also longer (4,641 mm) – all of which makes
for exceptionally dynamic proportions.
Perfection in proportions.
A BMW Coupe is surrounded by a
halo of fascination, and one glance tells the observer all he needs to know
about the driving experience on offer. The elegant lines and athletic surface
interplay of the BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe embody the qualities and expertise
of BMW design and shine out through its sporting silhouette. The car’s proportions
also fit the familiar BMW template: its long wheelbase, long sweeping bonnet,
set-back passenger compartment and short overhangs propel the BMW Concept 4
Series Coupe forwards even before its engine stirs into life. At the same time,
its stretched proportions exude a very athletic elegance – the rear wheel
arches mark the widest point of the car, emphasising the point – and taut lines
and surfaces etch emotion and precision into the body. The Coupe’s
sophisticated detailing also captures the imagination on closer inspection.
Functional elements such as air intakes and vents, door openers and exterior
mirrors are given a stylistic lift by classy satin-finish aluminium accents.
The exceptional dedication of the designers in achieving the right look for each
particular function is evident in every one of these details.
