Any gearhead with a sense of humor could roast BMW's latest generation M4 (and not only) for that bucktooth grille. It's been done numerous times to the point where not many car enthusiasts care about it anymore, and we've come to believe the controversial styling will eventually grow on us.
But that doesn't have anything to do with this story, which revolves around a roasted Bimmer. Mind you, it really is a roasted example in the purest sense of the word, with the fire leaving its mark on most of the car, rendering it useless.
We do not know where it started, but if we were to take a wild guess, we would say under the hood. After all, that great 3.0L twin-turbo straight-six power unit was completely ruined. The mill pumps out up to 503 horsepower (510 ps/375 kW) in the Competition version of the latest-gen BMW M4 and 473 hp (480 ps/353 kW) in the regular model, which does the 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) in 4.1s. The Competition is three-tenths quicker, and the xDrive AWD model drops the sprint time to 3.4 seconds.
This once-fine blue copy will never move on its own again, as the engine was burnt to a crisp. The fire also left its mark on the hood, front quarter panels, and some parts of the interior, from what we can tell, thus leaving very few components that can still be saved. But since one man's trash is another man's treasure, this G82 BMW M4 is in the process of being disassembled, and everything that can be salvaged will be sold for profit.
The premium compact sports coupe is in possession of azcycleparts, which took to social media recently to drop two clips of it. The first one is pretty much a short walkaround that puts the spotlight on the damages mentioned above. This one could have been a bit longer, as we would have wanted to catch a glimpse of the alleged partially ruined cockpit, too. The second shows it taking a final forklift ride to the warehouse, where it is being stripped to the bone (if it hasn't already).
Even though this model is not exactly the automotive equivalent of a unicorn, it is still sad to see it succumb to the hot injuries. After all, we are looking at a great driver's car attached to a ginormous grille (hey, it's a roast, isn't it?) in a very interesting specification that certainly does justice to this model. We would have wanted to fill this space with details about the fire, but since these are unknown, we will end it here after inviting you to click the play buttons on the two videos embedded below.
