BMW M4 Coupe

Just like the front and rear exterior ends of the M4 Coupe, even the entire interior cabin has been shared with the M3 here, which is no surprise at all. BMW offers a range of color themes for the upholstery options here, which makes it feel even more special.

Out goes the boring looking instrument console and here comes a full LCD instrument console, along with a sportier looking steering wheel. The driver-focused hexagonal shaped wide center console comes straight from the 3-Series and so do the free-standing infotainment system and AC vents and buttons for climate control below it. However, the choice of materials and upholsteries here feel even more up-market, with the M-lettering at places in the cabin reminding you that it is not a regular BMW sedan

The ergonomics here in the M4 Coupe are spot on, especially for the front seat occupants. However, the two-door profile does eat up some legroom and kneeroom at the rear, which might be a turn off for family-oriented buyers.

On the outside, the BMW M4 Coupe looks like a typical conventional BMW. It retains a number of BMW styling ethos, with a touch of modernity to make sure that it doesn’t fall behind in the race of competition, as far as visual appeal goes.

The BMW M4 Coupe shares its front fascia with the M3, which means that the former also gets sleek full LED headlamps with a double bar kidney grille in between them completely finished in gloss black. Even the front bumper with large and sharp looking air dams on the corners is lifted off from the M3.

The side profile of the M4 Coupe is the profile which distinguishes it from the M3, courtesy the two-door look and the large 20-inch shining silver alloy wheels. The outside rear view mirrors with the winglets in the inner edges have been shared with the M3 as well. Here, thanks to the coupe profile, the sloping roofline flowing towards the rear add to the sporty experience.

The M3’s inspiration can be further seen at the rear end of the M4 Coupe as well, as the rear profile has been shared with the former here. The wing-shaped full LED tail lamps, rear sporty looking bumper, and the dual tailpipe ends have been lifted off from the M3 here.

As with the M3, BMW has managed to make the M4 Coupe by sharing the basic suspension components from the former, which is slightly on a stiffer side. Apart from the three different modes – Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ for the suspension, the M4 Coupe also features Adaptive M suspension, the Active M Differential, and M Servotronic, which pushes the benchmark even further.

BMW has picked up the top-spec 3.0-litre twin turbo V6 engine from the top-of-the-line 3-Series and has managed to make it even juicier here in terms of straight-line performance. The engine, here in the M4 Coupe, manages to pump out a maximum power output of 450 PS and a peak torque output of 550 Nm. Coupled to this engine is a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, and has its own characteristic snarl from the exhaust, making it an aural pleasure.

Given the mighty resemblance with the M3 in the equipment side, the M4 Coupe also shares the safety equipment list with the former. The list includes six airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, cornering brake control, dynamic traction control and hill start assist.

With the M4 Coupe, BMW has managed to bring the special feel of a 2-door coupe with the manic experience from the performance and driving dynamics of the M3. While the two-door look adds to the experience, the traditional BMW traits kept intact makes the M4 Coupe an even sweeter car over the M3.
