Vehicle Overview

What it is: The high-performance BMW M4 is available in coupe or convertible form and competes with the Cadillac ATS-V and Lexus RC F. For 2017, the adaptive M suspension is standard instead of optional, and wireless phone charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot are included in the Executive Package.
What’s Special

  • Standard 425-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine
  • Six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
  • Carbon fiber roof (coupe)
  • Power-retractable hardtop (convertible)
  • Available Competition Package
  • Available carbon ceramic brakes

Here’s Info on the Regular 4 Series:

What it is: The BMW 4 Series debuted for 2014 as a replacement for the previous-generation 3 Series coupe and convertible. The 4 Series also includes the high-performance M4 and 4 Series Gran Coupe, a four-door model with coupe like styling.

Power comes from turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines, and rear- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. Competitors include the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

(Skip to details on the: 4 Series Gran Coupe)
New for 2017
Two new engines bring more power and new model nomenclature. A 248-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder replaces a turbo 2.0-liter that had 240 hp, and the model designation changes from 428i to 430i. Six-cylinder models have a new 320-hp, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, replacing a 300-hp six-cylinder of the same size, and these models are now designated 440i instead of 435i. Wireless phone charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot are new options.
Significant Standard Features

  • Power-adjustable seats
  • Split-folding rear seat
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Bluetooth and USB connectivity
  • Power moonroof (coupe)
  • Power-retractable hardtop (convertible)
  • Required in every new car: front airbags, antilock brakes and an electronic stability system

Significant Available Features

  • 248-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (430i)
  • 320-hp, turbocharged six-cylinder engine (440i)
  • Six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission
  • Rear- or all-wheel drive
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats and steering wheel
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Side, top-view and backup cameras
  • Wireless phone charging
  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Head-up display
  • Blind spot warning system
  • Lane departure warning
  • Harman Kardon premium stereo

4 Series Gran Coupe

With the same length, width, wheelbase and track as the two-door coupe but a bit more headroom, the 4 Series Gran Coupe sports a tall hatchback sedan profile and 45.9 cubic feet of luggage space. Like the 4 Series coupe and convertible, it’s offered in four-cylinder 430i and six-cylinder 440i form.

What’s Special

  • Hatchback versatility with the look of a coupe
  • 40-20-40-split rear seatbacks
  • Eight-speed automatic transmission standard
  • Rear- or all-wheel drive

  • Fun sports convertible. Great driving machine

    Fast and with the stiff competition edition suspension, great handling. Engine has room to tweak if desired and one of the better looking hardtop convertibles out there.

  • Too little room with the sound of a lawn mower

    I would’ve loved to purchase an M4 but it lacked in so many areas where a Audi RS5 of years prior was superior. Also, coming from a CTSV coupe, the transmission, though quicker, was clunky and annoying. Limited at best but pretty to look at. Attractive to women and used price warriors. Two turbos just don’t work like a V8 and the options are such a small list that you need the better M5 for it to make the sense it once did!

    The car is a blast. So glad I finally got one. People complain about the ride being rough, but it?s a sports car first and a luxury car second.

  • Best car I ever owned

    Get behind the wheel of the M4 and prepare for explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling. Power comes from a 425-hp twin-turbo inline-six, with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The Competition package makes 444 hp, but for the ultimate M4, there?s the GTS with 493 hp. The GTS is only offered with the automatic and as a coupe; the regular M4 offers a convertible option. All versions have the legendary performance of the M cars that came before it.

  • Wolf in sheeps clothing

    This isnt a super car. It isnt the most outrageous styling. It isnt the best interior around. But it is still excellent in all the things its trying to be. Its wicked fast, it turns heads and gets respect from others on the road, and its also roomy enough for a family of 4 on a long weekend (trust me I've done it). More than all that, its just a lot of fun to drive. Even a 10 minute drive to the grocery store is thrilling. I have the manual transmission which also adds to the driver engagement. It's expensive to spec the car up, but its worth it and I have zero regrets.
