As far as we know, there have been only two customer deliveries of the new M4 Coupe so far, both of them in the United Arab Emirates, one in Abu Dhabi and one in Dubai. However, that doesn’t mean that important customers don’t get to have a go behind the wheel of the new M car.
That’s what we supposed happened in the video below, where a car spotter present on the Nurburgring almost day and night, managed to catch one of these beauties drifting its wheels off in one of the Green Hell’s corners.
As you can see, we’re dealing with a Yas Marina Blue model that looks good and sounds ... decent. We went over that issue plenty of times, we won’t insist any more.
According to BMW, that’s exactly what you should expect of the M3 Coupe replacement car. Weighing less than its predecessor and having a ton of new-age technology onboard (like the CFRP drive shaft), the agility of the car should be drastically improved.
Yeah, we know that we don’t have a naturally aspirated engine under the bonnet anymore, it being replaced by a twin-turbocharged 3-liter inline 6-cylinder unit but according to early reviews, turbo lag is really not an issue.
Furthermore, the torque counter went seriously up this time, by 43 percent if we’re honest, to 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) in total. Couple that with the 431 HP output of the S55 unit and you get yourself an rocket with rear-wheel-drive that goes to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.1 seconds with the 7-speed double clutch gearbox. You also get to do what you see in the video below, but you’ll have to pay at least $64,200 for it, in the US.
