, "Let’s make this very clear first — 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?
