Earlier today we showed you how good the new M4 looks on the Nurburgring, where it must feel at home by now. Looking on Youtube for a little longer, we stumbled upon yet another great video of the new M car, this time, in an even better setup.
Top Gear once said that the best driving road in the world is located somewhere in Eastern Europe, in a country called Romania. They were talking about the famous Transfagarasan highway that was praised by more than one publication over the years.
That road goes high up in the mountains and offers beautiful pieces of tarmac, twisted and tight, just right for a rear-wheel-drive car like the M4. We’re not sure if the video below was shot there as well but it looks pretty darn close.
The car that is now replacing the M3 Coupe models is shown here at its best, at high speeds, with the engine revved to the redline and with matching sound in the background.
Fortunately, its creators from David Hale Films, decided to distance themselves from the direction BMW’s movies are heading into at the moment, and decided to offer a proper soundtrack to the clip instead of using dubstep. The money shot however, has to be the slow motion drift, mid-corner, that simply took our breath away (you can see it at the 0:55 mark).
As for the M4, you should know that’s more than capable of keeping you entertained, fitted with a 3-liter twinturbo inline 6-cylinder engine making 431 HP and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. Fitted with a 7-speed DCT gearbox, it will do 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.1 seconds and it will be 0.2 seconds slower when fitted with a manual 6-speed.
Prices for such a beauty start at $64,200 in the US and €72,200 in Germany. Deliveries are set to officially kick-off in July.
