BMW 4-series Coupe Concept Revealed

BMW has officially revealed the all-new 4-Series Coupe Concept, following an earlier leak.

Looking production-ready, the two-door coupe will make its public debut next month in Detroit. This is basically a three-door version of the 3-Series sedan but comes with several design tweaks that make it look sporty, yet elegant at the same time.

Its wheelbase measures 2,810mm which makes it 50mm longer than that of the current 3-Series coupe. The front track now measures 1,545mm (45mm more) while the rear one stands at 1,593mm (up by 80mm). The 4-Series Coupe Concept is 1,826mm wide so it's 44mm broader than its predecessor. With a 1,362mm height, the concept is 16mm lower and at the same time it's longer than before, measuring 4,641mm.

BMW installed a set of exclusive 20-inch light alloy wheels featuring a three-dimensional multi-spoke design that add to the car's sporty look. At the front we notice the hexagonal full LED headlights and the larger air intake in the front apron. The sloping roofline creates a natural transition into the rear, while the side windows help the slim and stretched theme.

The low-slung appearance of the rear is completed by the stretched taillights located at the outer edges. Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of the rear is the bumper with its trim element in satin-finish aluminum that makes the car look premium. It also connects the two exhaust tailpipes in a dynamic sweep at the rear apron's outer edges.

Moving inside the cabin, it's the traditional BMW driver-focused layout with the vital controls located ergonomically around the driver. Colors and material design have been developed by BMW Individual, including the two-tone Black and Schiaparelli Brown trim and light contrasting stitching.

it's ****ing phenomenal, i am in the process of part-exing the current 3-series coup? and i am seriously wondering if i should just wait for this later next year...

i think late 2013 will result in mostly early 2014 deliveries, so i'll get a year of motoring in a new car.. still, i am very lusty, which is a great thing imo!

:D

love the front, love the side, not too crazy about the back lights and the interior...the plastic panel just makes it 'cheap' against the leather/wooden counterpart.

BMW seems to have this hit and miss with their design...

i think the only company whose designs i've liked consistently with each iteration is audi. if only they'd pass off some of that excellence to VW.

Front looks good (except the bumper/fog light area), side looks good, then dear lord what happened to the back? It's just hideous back there. Also the side-rear panel looks just very similar to the Accord coupe (like the MB C coupe). Interior is typical BMW (aka crap layout imo), and that color scheme is terrible. Gotta love alcantara though, best headliner material ever.

Wow.. this is the first BMW that is making me rethink the Audi S5. If they made this one with the black piano accents instead of wood and it will look absolutely sick.

When are these coming out.. I was thinking of getting a new S5 in a month or so but I might just keep my current Audi A5 and drive it for another 2 years or so and get this one when it comes out.

general thinking is Sep 2013 if you're lucky...

and yes you can almost certainly get it in piano black trim, the current F30 you can at least!

Kinda liking the throwback interior myself. I really don't get the model number change though. It just seems confusing to put the coupes/verts in a new 'even' scheme.

Well, it's supposed to reflect how the saloon and the coupe variants are no longer the exact same car with a new body, so I can understand why they've done it.

For me though, the worst bit of the number change is that most M3s are coupes. They will now all be M4s and the M3 name will effectively die away. They should have opted to keep the 3-series as the coupe and make the 4 for saloons.

    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      Well, it's good to know that they have found a workaround to a problem that they helped create, I guess...
    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware by Ivan Jenic Image: Meta The global hardware shortage isn’t exactly news, as the entire world has been struggling with rising component prices for quite some time now. And while big companies certainly aren’t as affected as the average consumer, even they aren’t opposed to the idea of saving a few (million) bucks. Meta appears to have found a way to spend less on new hardware while also putting its outdated infrastructure to use, essentially killing two birds with one stone. The company has built a custom chip that lets it reuse memory from retired servers rather than buying new hardware. The chip is called Vistara and allows for connecting old DDR4 RAM from obsolete servers into new servers that rely on DDR5. The problem Vistara solves goes back to a basic mismatch in how long hardware lasts. Meta replaces its servers every three to five years, but the memory modules inside them are good for seven to ten. When a server gets decommissioned, perfectly usable DDR4 RAM goes with it. Meta is presenting the new method at today’s ISCA symposium, but The Register has got hold of a paper that explains how Vistara works. It's a custom ASIC that bridges DDR4 memory to newer processors via aCXL 2.0/1.1 interface over PCIe Gen5 x16. Meta pulls DDR4 sticks from old machines and installs them in dedicated units it calls MemServers, each of which pairs 768GB of DDR5 with 256GB of recovered DDR4. The operating system sees the DDR4 as an additional memory node and draws from it when the primary DDR5 is running low. Off-the-shelf CXL hardware couldn't do this, so Meta built its own. Existing interfaces bundle their own memory with the controller, which makes reusing old RAM sticks impossible. But Vistara separates the controller from the memory entirely, so Meta can plug in whatever DDR4 sticks it has on hand. Meta plans to deploy the new architecture in hyperscale infrastructure with millions of servers, which should mean that Meta’s AI datacenters will now be more efficient. The company is investing heavily in AI infrastructure, especially with its new AI model, Muse Spark, now widely available. All of this doesn't mean that Meta will exclusively rely on "recycled" RAM, but the company is still looking at considerable savings at scale.

      I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
