Used 2016 BMW M4 Consumer Reviews

M4 Beast

This high performance sports coupe is powerful, beautiful, & handles extremely well. The HP is 425, as advertised, but it's probably closer to 500. So far it's been a very reliable machine. The only negatives are the high depreciation rate & less than stellar exhaust note. Overall, most car enthusiasts will not be disappointed with this track marvel & daily driver.

Not user friendly

The door handles have to be pulled twice to get in or out of the car. The door unlock is in the center of the dash. It's inconvenient. The automatic transmission is difficult to get into park. Difficult for anew driver to get into drive. It's very easy to turn on the paddle shifters when putting into drive. My wife refuses to drive it anymore. The garage door opener was impossible to set. I gave up. I have set it for years on American cars. The electronics or command in center console not user friendly. I would never buy another BMW or German car. American cars are much more user friendly.

So many annoying things.. BMW, when will you learn

I am driving the 2015 model. The more I drive it the less I like it. As many professional reviewers have noted, the engine sounds really unpleasant. The shifter can be infuriating esp. changing between forward and reverse is very slow and requires the driver to engage the brake pedal for a significant amount of time. The navigation system is laughable (in the age of Google Maps). Sometimes I still use it but don't put your car in reverse after you entered your destination. The backup camera will come on and wipe out your destination entry. As for the backup camera: horrible contrast and low light performance (where does BMW even buy such low quality components). One of the most annoying things is that you cannot lock the car when you park it in Neutral (hard to believe but true). You have to turn the engine back on and put it in Drive, then get back out and lock it. If you leave it in Neutral it will sit unlocked, completely drain its battery and go dead in a matter of hours.

Superior in every way

Just drive it. Smooth manual shifting, great acceleration, decent exhaust note, best braking in the business, nice stereo that can be heard with the top down. Roomy back seats. The car is a fun to drive head turner that envelops the driver, especially, in comfort and luxury.
