General Features of BMW M4
In essence, the BMW 4 Series is not a standalone car but a two-door version of the BMW M3. The fourth series was created primarily to meet drivers' needs and provide comfort. In contrast, the third series is more practical and versatile.
The BMW M4 comes in two body types:

- Coupe (F 82).
A three-liter gasoline power unit is housed under the bonnet of the BMW M4. The engine features direct fuel injection, a twin-turbo system, and an inline arrangement of 6 cylinders.

Standard. It boasts 432 horsepower, 551 lb-ft of torque. It comes with a manual transmission and a six-speed gearbox.
Performance. The engine delivers 450 horsepower, 551 Newton-meters of torque. You can opt for either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed automatic transmission.
