2025 BMW M4 Coupe Photos, engines & full specs

The second generation of the M4 was refreshed in 2024 and came with more power and an angrier look on its front fascia meant to scare its competition away.

After BMW split the 3 Series into two lines of products, the 3 and the 4 Series, respectively, there was no M3 coupe anymore. As a result, the new two-door superstar of the BMW family was the M4 and its subsequent derivatives, known as the M4 Competition and the M4 CSL. In 2020, the German automaker introduced the second generation of this nameplate, which it refreshed in 2024, along with the rest of the 4 Series Coupe and the 4 Series Convertible models. But, unlike its siblings that hardly gained any power over their initial versions, the 2024 M4 came well-prepared with 20 more ponies under the hood. But it was more than just some more power.

The 2024 M4, known as the G82 in the carmaker’s coding inventory, was the most potent version in the 4 Series and had to show it. Unlike its siblings, it came with a different front fascia. While it still sported the debatable-looking kidney grille, it featured standard horizontal slats. It was flanked by redesigned headlights, which, even though they kept the original shape, were fitted with standard LED lights, with an option for Adaptive LED lamps with anti-glare matrix. Lower, on the bumper, the M4 featured an apron designed with angular shapes that sported a broad center air intake and two slim side scoops that channeled air around the bodywork.

From its profile, the aggressive-looking M4 sported a set of vents on the front fenders behind the wheels. BMW also installed a new set of forged wheels with diameters of 18 inches at the front and 19 inches at the rear. As an option, customers could get a set fitted with 19-inch up front and 20-inch in the back. All versions of the 2024 M4 Coupe came with a carbon fiber roof that helped lower the gravity center. At the back, depending on the options, the car came with a carbon fiber lip spoiler or a regular one. Its taillights came with standard LEDs, which were available with laser diodes and glass fibers that created a 3-D effect.

Inside, the M4 came fitted with a flat-bottom steering wheel and a 12-o’ clock marker fitted as standard wrapped in leather or Alcantara, depending on the options. The sports seats with integrated headrests ensure customers that they’ll be held in place during high-speed cornering maneuvers. As an option, BMW installed a set of sports seats with a carbon-fiber structure. Part of the 2024 update was also the new curved display mounted atop the center stack, with an LCD for the instrument panel fronting the driver and a touchscreen above the center stack for the infotainment system. Along with this update, BMW installed its iDrive 8.5 OS.

Under the hood, the G82 LCI (Life Cycle Impulse, as BMW named its facelifts) came with the same S85 three-liter inline-six powerplant. A pair of turbochargers helped the engine deliver 480 PS (473 hp), 510 PS (503 hp), and 530 PS (523 hp), depending on the version. BMW offered the car with either a six-speed manual for the rear-wheel drive version, an eight-speed automatic with rear-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic with xDrive (all-wheel drive), respectively.
