BMW M4 Iconic Lights Concept (2015)
The BMW M4 contains a powerful 3-litre, twin-turbo engine that produces 425 horsepower and a zero-to-sixty miles-per-hour time of just 4.1 seconds. Weighing just under 3,500 pounds, the vehicle also has a respectable power-to-weight ratio. The name 'Iconic Lights' comes from the OLED lights on the rear and the laser headlights on the front, which allow the driver to see up to 650 yards ahead. The lights also provide an indication of narrow roads and if the vehicle will be able to make it through a small gap. This vehicle is best known for its luxurious, high-end performance driving experience and design. Compared to the standard 4 series, it is lighter, has better handling and suspension, and contains aerodynamic features that make it stand alone as the best 4 series BMW has to offer.
