The 1972 E25 Bracq Turbo concept car that's seen in the background brings back memories from the auto show 40 years ago. Mind blowing for a Junior High kid back then. That car is one of only two that BMW made.

If 70K euro it will probably cost 70K $ before options in the US,which is a good price!
3295 lb in not bad either...
Take that in 6 speed and you have a winner!

Here's a link to a Car and Driver writeup on the M4 Concept...
http://www.caranddriver.com/news/bmw...-and-info-news
My guess is that their estimate of starting just a bit over $60K is low. There will be a price increase, as this car seems to have so much more being offered on it than on the e92 M3. But, it might have a base price that falls shy of $70K for optics / consumer psychology. But, loaded (excl. carbon brakes), I would expect the car to be close to $80K. With the brakes, and it's probably almost a $90K car.
The article mentions that it will be have electric steering...will be interesting to see how BMW's version feels...

I drove M3,M5 and M6. Nice cars,but for 120K what the new M6 costs,I'll take a plane old Jane Carrera or even an Exige at almost half price.

Having trouble believing 3300 lbs.
Front fascia below headlights already in desperate need of a re-design.
Using history as a guide, it will be a great street car providing great sounds and comfort, but will disappoint on track other than one fast hot lap. Will need a lot of mods to get it to trackworthy and those mods can add up quickly and destroy resale value.

The M6 is even worse... I couldn't believe how fast the owner's day was over at my last track day.
