Default If it's dubbed the "M4", would you be mad?

also, what do you think the likelihood of this is?

Personally, I hope it remains the M3. So much history & tradion. But i have a feeling it will be M4

would there be an M3 and an M4? weird

I don't believe it, that is marketing suicide.

Just another reason to leave the marque.

For historical purposes and name recognition reasons, I hope that they stay with "M3". BMW showed in the recent past that it's willing to name M vehicles differently from their source series: the 1M is a good example.

would be dumb to re-brand the coupe as an M4, but with the current leadership at BMW, it wouldn't be out of the question.

Heritage isn't a priority to modern BMW, it's all about revenue

I hope it does because nothing about a turbo car represent what the M car has stood for over the past 30 years! let the M3 name die with the E92 M which had a V8 that actually represented ///M engineering. Anybody can make a TT car have power...only the GT3 and F430 rival the hp per liter the ///M cars made.

Gotta love when ppl say its all about revenue, its ALWAYS been about revenue!!!!!!!! How else would the company run if there was no revenue. What other business out there do you know thats not about revenue/profit...
