After months of teasers and spy shots, BMW has finally put the new M4 competition Coupe on sale. It’ll follow the sixth-generation M3 saloon into showrooms this March, where it will rival the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe and Audi RS 5.
Prices for the German brand’s newest super-coupe start from £76,055. That makes the M4 just £1,300 much more expensive than the equivalent M3 saloon – with which it shares many of its underpinnings.

Like its four-door sibling, the M4 Coupe is powered by the BMW’s all-new twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine, which already features in the X3 M and X4 M performance SUVs.

In mainland Europe, the M4 will be available with a choice of two engine outputs. The entry-level model produces 473bhp and 600Nm of torque – and it’ll come with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. However, like the rest of BMW M-badged line-up, we’ll only get the flagship competition variant in the UK.
The range-topping M4 has an output of 503bhp and 650Nm of torque, which BMW says will offer a 0–62mph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 155mph – although the firm’s option M pro package will raise this limiter to 180mph.
