Greetings from the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack in Portugal. We're here to put the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+4+series/">2014 BMW 4 Series</a> coupe through its paces, and we'll have the chance to sample the updated <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m5/">2014 BMW M5</a> with its new Competition Pack, as well. But before going out for some hot laps, we took a few minutes to check out this 435i Coupe that's been fitted with a full suite of goodies from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> M Performance parts catalog.<br />
<br />
Starting with the exterior, carbon fiber bits are the most noticeable additions, with the lightweight material added in the form of a massive front splitter, mirror caps and a rear spoiler. Other visual changes include lightweight 20-inch wheels, a blacked-out grille, and unique M Performance side stripes. No, that's not a shadow you see under the 435i's strong side character line - that's a stripe. Yes, we're serious.<br />
<br />
Inside (we couldn't get photos of the interior, sorry!), BMW has added its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/09/bmw-m-offers-steering-wheel-with-integrated-computer-and-readout/">sport steering wheel with race display</a>, unique M floormats, steel pedals, and a whole mess of carbon fiber and Alcantara trim.<br />
<br />
But the M catalog isn't just about added flair. Legitimate performance parts can be had, and for starters, this 435i is fitted with a power kit that increases engine output from 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to 334 and 332, respectively. Building upon that, there's a limited-slip differential, performance suspension, upgraded brakes with red calipers and a rear apron diffuser finished in carbon.<br />
<br />
BMW hasn't announced official pricing for the 4 Series goodies as of this writing, but we should have a clearer idea of how much coin each option will warrant closer to the kit's debut at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/frankfurt-motor-show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> this September. Until then, have a glance through our gallery of live photos to take it all in for yourself.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/20/bmw-shows-off-435i-coupe-with-m-performance-parts/">BMW shows off 435i Coupe with M Performance parts</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:24:00 EST.
