BMW has finally released images of its M4 Coupe Concept ahead of the car’s unveiling at Monterey Auto Week in California.

Aggressively styled, the Concept differs from the regular 4 Series thanks to the power dome on the hood, a CFRP (carbon fibre-reinforced plastic) roof with M striping, bulging wheel arches, wider side skirts and trademark M fender gills.

There’s also a gloss black kidney grille with double slats, a sculpted front bumper with large air intakes and carbon fibre front splitter, boot lid with integrated spoiler and rear bumper with air outlets and a diffuser that shrouds quadruple tailpipes. A set of bi-colour 20-inch forged M alloy wheels complete the look.

BMW remained tight-lipped regarding the powerplant, but it’s likely that the 309 kW (420 hp) V8 engine currently powering the M3 will be ditched, with propulsion expected to come from a twin-turbocharged straight-six (developing around 331 kW/444 hp), which will be mated to either a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission or optional six-speed manual.
