2023 BMW M4 Shooting Brake, Could it be The RS6 Killer ?

BMW-M4-Shooting-Brake.jpg

BMW will not be making an M4 Shooting Brake. It’s not gonna happen, so we’re not claiming that it will. However, we are claiming that it would be awesome if it did. Take the Ferrari FF and subsequent GT4 Lusso, for examples. Those two cars are absolutely awesome, with monster V12 engines, supercar performance, stunning Italian looks, and hatchback performance.”

Now take that recipe modify for the BMW M4. That’s what you see in this render. Imagine a BMW M4 Shooting Brake; a two-door M4 with a 503 horsepower inline-six, all wheel drive, and a hatchback body style. Sure, it would still have a face made for radio but the rest of it would be absolutely killer. Even the most ardent of new grille-haters would warm to such a car, for its sheer rarity and odd blend of performance and practicality. Plus, it’d be like a Ferrari GT4 Lusso for a quarter of the price. Who wouldn’t like that?

Front end continues to be atrocious, and the rear bumper is sporting a massive hemorrhoid. Theorectial hard pass on a theoretical hideous car.

Ha!! The front end is THE most beautiful aspect.

That said, no thanks! No station wagons or hatchback for this kid!

Threads like this, I mean, I don't even understand them. The car has tuner fitment, 335 front tires, 385 rear tires, it's pie in the sky that'll never happen.

If someone wants to put forth a concept it should at the very least have realistic wheels/tires/suspension gap. Oh wait, even BMW doesn't do that...

The BMW logo on the side panel (like the x2) ruins it for me. Besides that it looks great

I agree that the roundel on the side panel is a little too much. Subtracts not adds to the look. :D

Sorry, didn't mean it bad, I just meant the concepts should look somewhat like reality. I'm not a wagon guy and I love that wagon, but it's because it's unrealistic.

I like it. I agree the side badge seems a little off, but I feel there is come history to it, somewhere. Good time to redefine the hofmeister kink.

Kind of reminds me of the Zagato Shooting Brake.

To be fair, Vorsteiner seems to have made it far more acceptable

At least if I have a G8x, I'd order one before my G8X will have a ship date.

Wow, whoever shopped that, great job. Looks believable with beautiful yet feasible-looking design coherent with the existing car. I still hate the front end, but the side and rear are killer. Would be cool if BMW incorporated this kind of hatch into an M4 Gran Coupe if it would ever happen. But we all know it won't :)

This would be absolutely incredible if they actually made a few of these. Sure they'd be locked away in garages to never be seen in public, but it's still nice to think about.
