The 2025 BMW M4 Coupe and Convertible are refreshed for the model year poised to continue the legacy of BMW’s high-performance vehicles with a slew of enhancements, both under the hood and in the realm of digital innovation and design aesthetics.

Power and Performance

The heart of these new models lies in their engines. The straight 6-cylinder power units, boasting BMW’s signature high-revving characteristics and powered by M TwinPower Turbo Technology, deliver responsive power delivery and impressive torque across all load ranges. With the S58B30T0 6-cylinder motor available in three levels of output, ranging from 473 hp to a thrilling 523 hp, drivers can choose their desired level of adrenaline.

The addition of M xDrive to the Competition models further amplifies the driving experience, providing precise traction and enabling exhilarating acceleration. With the ability to reach 0-60 mph in as little as 3.4 seconds, these machines promise a thrill ride for enthusiasts.

Design Enhancements

Externally, the M4 lineup receives a facelift with new headlights and laser-accented taillights, giving the vehicles a modern and technologically advanced appearance. The optional M design graphics for the hood and trunk lid add a touch of customization, allowing drivers to personalize their vehicles to suit their style.

Inside, the focus is on the driver with a new steering wheel design featuring a flat-bottomed rim and a range of functions tailored for performance driving. The interior trims exude luxury, with high-quality materials and meticulous finishing adding to the premium ambiance.

Digital Innovation

The cockpit of the 2025 M4 models is a testament to BMW’s commitment to advanced digitalization. The BMW Curved Display, angled towards the driver, provides M-specific information and seamlessly integrates with BMW Operating System 8.5. Touch and voice controls optimize the user experience, allowing drivers to stay focused on the road ahead while accessing essential features.

Pricing and Availability

With a range of model variants and customization options, the 2025 BMW M4 Coupe and Convertible cater to the diverse preferences of performance enthusiasts. The worldwide market launch is scheduled to begin in March 2024, with base MSRPs starting from $79,100 for the M4 Coupe and going up to $95,300 for the Competition xDrive Convertible.
