BMW has been in the automotive industry for over a century and continues to be a pioneer in the field. The company’s recent efforts at electrification are laudable, with both the plug-in hybrid X5 and the full electric 7-Series EV being prime examples of its commitment to sustainability. BMW has always been known for its luxury vehicles, and the company has now taken a big step towards the future by offering useful and efficient electric vehicles without making too many compromises.
While BMW has taken a big step towards electrification, the company has not forgotten its roots. The BMW motto and whole mission statement revolve around “The Ultimate Driving Machine.” BMW has always been known for creating high-performance vehicles that offer an unparalleled driving experience. Today, there are many cars vying for the top spot, and one such modern Beemer is the BMW M4. It has taken over the M3’s spot as the brand’s performance coupe, and there are multiple variations of the M4, each one quicker than the last.
Which BMW M4 Carries the Crown?
The BMW M4 comes in several style variants, depending on your taste and how much money you will spend on a coupe. The standard M4 Coupe, the spicier M4 Competition Coupe, the M4 Competition xDrive Coupe that adds all-wheel drive, the M4 Competition xDrive Convertible, and finally, the extremely limited M4 CSL. Although the exact tune varies by model, all M4s share a twin-turbo 3-liter inline 6-cylinder engine. For top speed, all M4s, aside from the M4 CSL, have an electronically limited speed of 155 miles per hour.
The Base M4 Coupe
Starting with the base 473-horsepower M4 Coupe, it will accelerate from a dead stop to 60 miles per hour in 4.1 seconds. That’s quick, but the 503 horsepower M4 Competition inches past it with a zero to 60 time of 3.8 seconds. The M4 Competition xDrive Convertible splits the difference at 3.6 seconds. And for regular production M4s, the xDrive Competition Coupe tops the range at 3.4 seconds. The 543 horsepower M4 CSL is a different animal entirely. First, it looks way angrier. It can accelerate to highway speed in 3.6 seconds, just a hair slower than its brethren, but it absolutely destroys the rest of the M4s with its electronically limited speed of 191 miles per hour.
The M4 Competition Coupe
The M4 Competition Coupe is the most popular variant among car enthusiasts. It has a starting price of $75,695, but the car is worth every penny. The 503 horsepower twin-turbo inline 6-cylinder engine provides breathtaking acceleration, and the car handles beautifully on the road. The M4 Competition Coupe can hit 60 miles per hour from a standstill in just 3.8 seconds. This coupe has a top speed of 155 miles per hour, and it comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting mode.
