The 2020 M4 may no longer be the standout among sport coupes it once was, but it remains a fun car with a muscular engine, a slick transmission and a surprisingly usable interior. It delivers the M brand's traditional cachet, though its performance, sound and features falter against improved and similarly priced (or even less expensive) competitors.

M4 after 16k miles of driving

Keith Sanders , 03/12/2018

2016 BMW M4 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Comparing this to my ‘17 911S Porsche May help. The M4 is an awesome vehicle overall. The MDCT is not as smooth as the 911’s PDK however. The engine is awesome but I find the width of the rear tires to be insufficient at 275 mm vs 305 mm for the 911S. So it spins way too easily—this is a known problem on the Bimmerfest forums too. I am running very good Michelin Pilot Super Sports as …

2016 BMW M4 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

I bought this car with 5 miles on the odometer so I might have been the 1st person to take a test drive. This was a little surprising as the car was on the lot for about 6 weeks. The new 2018s were being delivered starting April 1 and I got my car on April 7 with a huge discount. It runs perfectly, has great comfort, power, handling and overall smoothness you would expect in a car …

One sweet M4 convertible

Brian Anderson, 09/01/2016

2016 BMW M4 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

I have had my 2016 M4 convertible (with competition package) since the middle of May (it is now the end of August). I have 5000 miles on it now. It is a FANTASTIC car. It is the most comfortable car I have ever driven. My daily car is a Lexus is350. My wife's is a G37s. Of course neither come close in any type of performance comparison but neither come close in comfort either. The first …
