The performance-oriented M4 gets a 3.0L twin-turbocharged six-cylinder with a 6-speed manual transmission that produces an impressive 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.

The M440 is available in RWD and AWD and it's powered by a 3L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that produces 382 horsepower.

The M4 comes with a few more standard items, such as adaptive suspension, navigation, and a 16-speaker surround audio system.

M4's Unmatched Performance
For 2024 the BMW 4-series and M4 get a larger touchscreen but otherwise carry over with minimal changes.
The BMW 4-Series is a stylish car that offers most of the performance and styling of a sports car without compromising much in terms of comfort or practicality. It features sleek, low styling and is available in a few different body styles, including as a convertible. Performance is brisk, but ride and comfort have been carefully balanced to provide a driving experience that is both entertaining and somewhat luxurious.
The BMW 4-Series competes with sedans and coupes such as the Audi A5, the Mercedes Benz C-Class and the Lexus IS. The top-of-the-line M4 offers blistering performance and razor-sharp handling but in a practical coupe package.
