2025 BMW M4 Coupe Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 BMW M4 is available in coupe and convertible body styles. It's offered in three trim levels: M4 (base), Competition and Competition xDrive. Here is a breakdown of the power and features offered with each:
Which M4 trim does Edmunds recommend?
We'd recommend the M4 (base) model to anyone not only because it's the most affordable choice but also because we still enjoy shifting a manual transmission with cars of this caliber. If that's you too, the base trim with a few upgrades (Executive package, ventilated seats) is hard to beat. That said, the Competition with its automatic transmission, additional power and extra available options — the Driving Assistance Professional package, for example — is a better pick for daily driving and commuting.
