BMW Concept 4 – 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show

▪ The BMW Concept 4 represents a future-focused interpretation of the BMW Group’s enduring DNA. It combines a dynamically potent, emotionally engaging design with exclusivity and exceptional driving attributes to capture the aesthetic essence of the modern BMW coupe.

▪ Grabbing the attention at the heart of the front end is the vertically oriented kidney grille: its form and design reference legendary classics such as the BMW 328 or BMW 3.0 CSi and therefore shine the spotlight on the BMW brand’s long and successful history as a maker of fine coupes.

▪ The kidney grille’s grating contains horizontal trim elements with a faceted cut which create a neat contrast against the sporty design of the front end and lend depth and exclusivity to the grille.

▪ The slightly angled, focused twin headlights team up with the kidney grille to lend the front end a distinctive BMW look with a strong identity. Their LED light elements have no glass cover; instead they are worked into the body like threedimensional sculptures.

▪ The BMW Concept 4 displays BMW’s signature proportions at their most modern form yet. The stretched bonnet, long wheelbase, flowing roofline and short overhangs create a modern, elegant and dynamic coupe outline.

▪ Within the silhouette, the ultra-pure surfaces of the new BMW Concept 4 form a powerful main body. The interplay of tautly chiselled volumes and a small number of extremely precise contours creates a rare sense of emotion and dynamism.

▪ The long, sweeping roofline flows smoothly into the boot lid, further adding to the flanks’ high-class and sporty aesthetic.

▪ The exterior paint tone Forbidden Red lends the interaction of contours and volumes a dramatic sense of radiance and depth: any surfaces in the light project a rich, glossy red, while shade creates an almost black effect and a striking contrast.

▪ The rear of the BMW Concept 4 sits low over the road, as befits a sporty car. Picking up where the front end left off, generously sized and clear surfaces with only a small number of lines make a statement of sporting intent that stirs the emotions.

▪ The LED rear lights consisting of a single fibre-optic element lend the familiar BMW L shape a cutting-edge “heartbeat” graphic and dispense with glass covers. Their contours underscore the sportingly horizontal focus of the rear end and accentuate its brawny stance on the road.

▪ The striking diffuser integrated into the muscular rear apron sets the seal on the car’s rear-end design. Its vertical fins break up the clean surfaces of the car’s tail to send a statement of fine sporting pedigree.
