The standard-bearers for racing-car exhilaration in everyday driving are primed for action in new-generation form. 35 years after the first BMW M3 took to the stage, BMW M GmbH is presenting the latest generation of its high-performance models, and although the new 353 kW/480 hp M4 Coupé is available with a sixspeed manual gearbox, our favourite is the 510 hp BMW M4 Competition Coupé. The M4’s exterior design with the distinctive M-specific kidney grille stands clearly apart from its competitors, sending an expressive message to the rear view mirrors of the car it will take over next. Adaptive LED Headlights with BMW Laserlight and fibre-optic light guides, flared wheel arches and extended side sills, a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof and two pairs of tailpipes in Black Chrome are just a few of the visual highlights of this powerhouse.
