2016 BMW M4: What's New

Vehicle Overview

The high-performance BMW M4 is available in coupe or convertible form and competes with the Cadillac ATS-V and Lexus RC F.
What’s Special

• 425-horsepower, turbocharged six-cylinder engine

Here’s info on the regular 4 Series:
The BMW 4 Series replaced the previous-generation 3 Series coupe and convertible models in 2014. Power comes from a turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the 428i, and from a turbocharged six-cylinder in the 435i. Rear- and all-wheel-drive versions are available, and competitors include the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. BMW also offers a 4 Series Gran Coupe, a four-door model with coupelike styling.
