2016 BMW M4

Model Overview

---

The M4 is the new name for the high-performance version of the coupe it's derived from. The M4 shares it's mechanical's with the new M3 sedan, and together form the performance pinnacle in the 3/4-series line-up.

The M4 is powered by a twin turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder engine that produces 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. All that power is driven through the rear wheels via two different transmissions, either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed double-clutch, and an Active M differential. High-performance anti-lock brakes with cross-drilled discs work with electronic stability control, 19-inch forged aluminum wheels and M sport suspension to keep things under control. The roof is carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), which helps to lower weight and the center of gravity. The driveshaft and front end strut brace are also made of CFRP. Available options include satellite radio, park distance control, surround view cameras, adaptive LED headlights, head-up display, high-beam assistant, lane change warning, carbon ceramic brakes and adaptive M suspension.

For 2016, Comfort Access keyless entry, satellite radio and harman/kardon sound system are all now standard equipment.
