The two cars were wrapped in camouflage as their final design would not be revealed until a later date.
BMW M CEO Markus Flasch said both models "were developed parallel to each other, so they both have the same genes."
Like the new M3 Sedan and all other current high-performance automobiles from M, the new M4 Coupe would be available in two performance versions: Apart from a variant with 480hp and a 6-speed manual transmission, a Competition model with 510hp and an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic will also be on offer in each case.
The core component shared by all M4s is the newly developed straight six-cylinder engine featuring M TwinPower Turbo technology and a high-revving concept.
From the outset, the high-performance-power plant was developed on the basis of performance characteristics taken directly from motorsport. Not only will the BMW M Customer Racing Teams, who will be deploying the BMW M4 GT3 in numerous GT series worldwide, benefit from this. It also raises the standard of driving pleasure for M4 road-legal vehicles to a new level.
From 2022 and following selected racing events in 2021, the M4 GT3 will replace the M6 GT3 as the top-of-the-range model in BMW’s customer sport offering. Since 2016, the M6 GT3 has been part of the M Motorsport vehicle portfolio, already winning the Spa-Franchorchamps 24 hours during its debut year, only to surpass this success with a double victory two years later.
BMW M said final tests are being conducted on the two cars before their world premiere in September.
The first person who will get to own the new M4 Coupe will be the winner of the Aug 21-23 BMW M Grand Prix of Styria held at the Red Bull Ring.
