Some modern-day rides from BMW's stable are not the prettiest, and we don't necessarily mean the XM, which doesn't do justice to the brand's M Division. A regular 4 Series, due to that giant kidney grille, falls into this category, too, as do the M3 and M4.
In the right spec, such a ride could be extremely pretty. Remember that G80 M3 we recently wrote about? It has a nice green finish, aftermarket wheels, and nothing else, proving that less is more in the car tuning game. So, where does this M4 stand? On the kitschy side of this world.
It looks like a ten-year-old started drawing a sports coupe, and right at the end, he got bored. That's how we'd justify those crazy black lines on the yellow body. They're not the only controversial bits and pieces featured on this ride, as it also has a body kit that came from DarwinPro Aero's portfolio.
Do you remember this tuner? Of course, you do, as it has given us many flashy projects these past few months. From the BMW M3 and Toyota Supra to the Audi RS 6 Avant and Rolls-Royce Cullinan, DarwinPro Aero has brought out the ugliness within all of them. Mind you, it's not all controversial, as we do have a thing for one particular RS 6 that you can find here.

Now, back to the pictured BMW M4, which comes with side skirt attachments, whiskers on the sides of the front bumper, an apron with side blades, new mirror caps, a modified diffuser, wheel arch extensions, and a large wing mounted on the trunk lid, next to the ducktail spoiler. Several components have a dark hue, and the five-double spoke alloys combine yellow and black.
Usually, such a ride comes with a reupholstered interior as well. However, DarwinPro Aero hasn't revealed it, yet a quick look through the blacked-out windows shows that black is the dominating hue and has some yellow touches. As a result, the cockpit shouldn't be on the kitschy side of things, unlike the exterior, which is simply over-the-top.
We don't know who would be caught dead in such a controversial build, and we honestly hope that this is a demo car that the tuner uses for marketing purposes to attract more clients with the flashy mods. Don't get us wrong, some of these add-ons would actually look great on the BMW M4 (and not only), yet throwing everything bar the kitchen sink at it has certainly left its toll on its rather sexy (stock) appearance.
It's clear that we're not fans of this project, but we can understand if you may have a secret thing for it. So, do you? We won't judge!
