What is the M4?
While BMW's M branch does make high-output versions of nearly all of BMW's vehicles, the M4 coupe (and related M3 sedan) is what the performance division built its reputation on. The M4 is a compact car with a ton of horsepower under the hood, and the long list of handling, braking and interior modifications make it pretty far removed from the standard 4 Series. We wouldn't necessarily call it a bargain, but the M4 also has the chops to outsprint more exotic sheetmetal at a fraction of the price.
We don't expect many changes to the 2024 BMW M4, though it's likely that the CSL model that debuted last year won't return. That trim was limited to 1,000 units worldwide, and all will likely be spoken for by the time the clock strikes 2024. It is possible that BMW will give the M4 a face-lift, as 2024 will mark this generation's fourth model year — right around the time most automakers tweak exterior and interior design to keep a car from feeling dated.
