Uncamouflaged AW M4 in San Francisco -- No picture unfortunately

Hey folks!

I know this won't receive a ton of attention due to the lack of a picture, but there is an uncamouflaged AW M4 in San Francisco. I was just driving around Laguna Honda Hospital and spotted the M4 running the other way. Unfortunately it's difficult to pull a big U-turn in SF, so I couldn't grab pics in time, but hopefully others will see it.

I was MUCH more impressed with the look of the vehicle in person than in pictures (and I really liked the pictures to begin with). A couple of things I noticed in my quick glance:

1.) The roofline design causes the M4 to look like a vehicle that's much lower to the ground than the current E90/E92/E93's.

2.) The back end is gorgeous. It looks extremely aggressive, much more than anticipated in person.

Unfortunately, Dvorak's 9th was blaring in the car and I couldn't turn it down quick enough to hear anything about the engine.

Well, for the most part, this is just a heads up to folks that there are uncamouflaged M3's/M4's running around now, so keep your eyes out. Hopefully our Bay Area friends will be able to snag a picture where I couldn't.

I apologize if this isn't news to anyone yet, but I didn't see any other posts or reports of M4's truly in the wild yet.

Cheers!

Bummer on the no pics. Good news if there is one driving around its just a matter of time before a forum member runs across it again and snaps a pic

It's like a sighting of bigfoot
Hopefully this time he surfaces again and someone gets a few photos.

Did the front bumper look as aggressive as the concept? I dont know if it was just me but there were some pics of the 4series with msport package where the front didnt look as aggressive as the concept car. Not sure if that is expected but I thought the 4 msports were suppose to be aethestically identical to the M's just like in the 5 series.

Know the feeling. Have seen the McLaren P1 three times now and have not been able to get a photo. Gutted.

With the concept revealed I don't see a reason to run these cars with camo. The exterior differences must be so minor that it can't possibly be anything worth hiding.
