Used 2019 BMW M4 Consumer Reviews

M4 after 16k miles of driving

Comparing this to my ‘17 911S Porsche May help. The M4 is an awesome vehicle overall. The MDCT is not as smooth as the 911’s PDK however. The engine is awesome but I find the width of the rear tires to be insufficient at 275 mm vs 305 mm for the 911S. So it spins way too easily—this is a known problem on the Bimmerfest forums too. I am running very good Michelin Pilot Super Sports as well. I will try going at least 295 mm wide with 10.5” or 11” with wheels at tire change time. This will cost around $2,500 extra to remediate this problem. One annoying thing is that the BMW speedometer reads too fast by about 2 mph at 60 mph; so speedometer shows 62 when you are doing 60–again this is a well documented issue with BMW. The interior and media interface are class leaders. The technology is superior with things like Apple Car Play, very smart bright lights, cruise control, fuel consumption, various programmed driving modes, excellent wet road handling, etc. So awesome car that seriously need slightly wider tires on the rear.

BMW M4 CONV

I bought this car with 5 miles on the odometer so I might have been the 1st person to take a test drive. This was a little surprising as the car was on the lot for about 6 weeks. The new 2018s were being delivered starting April 1 and I got my car on April 7 with a huge discount. It runs perfectly, has great comfort, power, handling and overall smoothness you would expect in a car listed at $90k. Most surprisingly is the good gas mileage around 21.5 mixed driving on premium gas.The top works flawlessly... with the provided rear wind screen when the top is down you do not have any in car turbulence. You can talk in a normal voice and listen to the radio w/o any extra volume (although it adjusts to your speed). Surprisingly the windscreen does away with any wind in the front 2 seats but does take away the back seat. The trunk as a unique loading system but if you are taking any long trips it can only hold 1 suitcase.

Best car I have owned

I am 50 years old. I am a car enthusiast. After 4 years of Driving, I can say this is the best car I have ever owned.

One sweet M4 convertible

I have had my 2016 M4 convertible (with competition package) since the middle of May (it is now the end of August). I have 5000 miles on it now. It is a FANTASTIC car. It is the most comfortable car I have ever driven. My daily car is a Lexus is350. My wife's is a G37s. Of course neither come close in any type of performance comparison but neither come close in comfort either. The first week I had the car we headed down hwy 101 & 1 to Santa Monica that was an epic trip. But the car utterly surprised me on the way back to Sacramento as we did I5 home. I set the suspension to comfort and was utterly amazed at how comfortable the ride home was. As I got to know the car had to come to the conclusion that it is a beast in a tuxedo. Well refined and subtly luxurious, but put the setting to sport/manual mode on the tranny and take traction control off and it shows its beastly side quite wonderfully. I only have 2 picks with the car. 1. The auto high beam works only half the time. And 2. The remote controlling of the convertible roof opening works only half the time too. THAT ONE is extremely irritating when you are standing beside the car and want to drop the top so you use the remote feature. AND IT DOESNT WORK!! For a $90,000 car that should work every time. Those are the only 2 negative experiences I have had with the car. The sound system is amazing. Really amazing. As is the heads up display and the navigation. I've lowered the car 3/4" front and back. Put Niche rims on and went to 305's on the back from the stock 285's. It is one....... Sweet.........car. My 2 business partners have opted for coupes. One got his this week. The other is headed to Munich next week to enjoy a European delivery. He will drive his around Europe for a couple weeks then BMW will ship it home. We each have our own specific tastes in the car. BMW offers a wide range of color combinations. If you can afford the car, you will not be disappointed

I can’t stop smiling

This is a driver’s car in that you can set nearly any aspect of the car (transmission, suspension, steering etc) to multiple settings. Once you find your optimal set, you can store them in one button on the steering wheel and call it up in an instant. Wonderful for going from side street to highway in a blink of an eye. I’ve wanted this car ever since I saw it as a kid and finally have it! Wicked fun! Updated January 2019 - still having fun! I don't get to drive it much in the winter but spring is coming! Still happy with it and it is still as fun as the day I drove it off the lot. Updated December 2019 - traded it for a 2020 M4. Got LeMans Blue with Silverstone interior. Got it before the bugs bunny edition came out in 2020. UPDATED July 27 2023 - sold the car (unfortunately). Wanted to keep it for life but other priorities came along. Hope the new owner is as happy with it as I was. Definitely recommend them used!

Fun to drive but controls not intuitive

Beautiful Car and GREAT to drive. I ended up picking this mainly because I wanted a hard-top convertible with some power. This car drives great, is comfortable, and great with the top down. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase but am a little annoyed by some things that don't make sense to me, a lot related to difficult function controls. I've only had it about a month so part of this might be just adjusting to BMW ways. First of all, it isn't possible to put this car into PARK without turning off the car. So weird and annoying if you want to be SURE that it is in PARK. It switches to park automatically if turning off the car in Drive or Reverse, but otherwise you can only put it into NEUTRAL and set the parking brake if you want to sit idle, or turn it off and turn it back on. Also, the lack of touch for the screen interface is inefficient for entering addresses, and the finger spelling on the console control knob is not a good replacement--much easier to tap out a number on a screen than trace each individual number/letter. Also, the volume control is only on the dash or on the right side of the steering wheel--this means if you have your hand on the console knob controlling your nav/media, driving with your left hand, you have to move your right hand from the console knob to the dash or the steering wheel. The car has options for comfort suspension for daily driving but there isn't a way to make that a default--it always goes back to the more rigid SPORT option so that you have to reselect each time you start the car for COMFORT. There are other little things like the toggle for the hard-top requires you to pull BACK to put the top UP/Forward, and push Forward to put the top down/back -- just not intuitive. LOTS of media options but difficult to sort out. Anyway, I'll stop with these things since overall it's a very nice car with AMAZING driving profile, which is what most people might be looking for and the little things might not matter. It's my primary car so the daily use things are a little annoying to me. As far as hard-topped convertible with power, I think this is the only good choice. I was considering going Mercedes C63 Coupe but didn't test-drive it since I still wanted the convertible.

Best Performance Vehicle

M4 with Competition Package and M Performance Exhaust is a beast. I have read many blogs and reviews but mostly everyone is lying. You have to test drive M4 and hear it in person in order appreciate the car. Unfortunately, everyone has comments but no one actually owned M4 in order to give real review. I choose M4 over Mercedes C63s AMG, Audi RS4/RS5 and Porsche 911 GTS. I test drove all 5 cars and went with M4 Competition Package. M4 is a wild car and whoever is driving M cars has different feeling. Its like do not mess with M cars. AMGs, RSs and 911s are more like settle and decent and calm but not wild. M4 has a different vibe and BMW drivers are famous for many wild things on the road such as never giving signal while changing lanes, being aggressive drivers, speeding, so on. At the end of the day, choose M4 over its competitors and you won't be sorry. It has sound, power, torque, luxury where its needed. Satisfaction guaranteed :)

Batmobile on steroids

It is the perfect car. It is civil in everyday traffic, but is a lot of fun whenever you need (or want) to accelerate or shame a Mustang owner. The Launch Control function is so fast, it is scary. Anyone who complains about the instrumentation being too complicated should go back to the dealership and get a five- to 10-minute primer on the iDrive, etc., from a BMW "Genius." I have wanted an M3 for years, and finally made the plunge. I opted for the M4 coupe, and it has not disappointed.

2016 M4 Most exciting car I have every owned

Best most exciting car I have every owned.

Beast.

I love this car. Comp package completes the performance\sound\look. Track or daily driver, this car can do it all.

Muscle car meets German tech

Had 911 4S. Have m4 ultimate package including competition package. This car is a beast with blistering acceleration. M mode settings let you set one touch brakes, suspension, shifts and engine gentle for commute and another set for fun with all set to sport plus. Get m performance carbon wrapped titanium exhaust for a deep 8 cylinder sound. Beats 911 for shear aggression. Test drive it.

Great car, my 2nd M

I'm loving my daily driver M4 convertible. It's a sport convertible, with limited space. Don't expect to put 4 large luggages, it's not made for that. But it has reasonable space for a hardtop that goes in the trunk. I also wanted a 4 seater and the seats seem to have more space than my E46 M3 convertible. Overall, great car, but you do pay for it. I would buy it again.

M4

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.

M4 the great

2018 BMW M4 performance package and executive pack

Purchased new, the car does not handle well. The steering resembles a generic lawnmower. The vehicle is not fast and the prepaid maintenance services do not include fluid flushes or alignment. The alarm on the vehicle does not work. The blind spot sensors on the side mirrors also do not function reliably. The car can not take wide turns without the back tires sliding out of control.

Black F83 M4

Negotiate terms and get the tire care plus.

Loved the car, puts a huge smile on my face.

Car is very fun to drive, and to look at as well.

Unbelievable

Can’t describe the power and awe feeling driving this car- overwhelmed and happy! Was best decision I ever made.

Fun car!!

Fun car!! Gotta bring the reveiws up cause it's better than 3.5.

Ultimate Driving Machine

I daily this car and it never ceases to impress. Nearly two years of owning it and I still smile every time I sit in it!

Dream M4 top down convertible

Edmunds helped me locate a perfect BMW M4 several states away with extremely low miles. Thanks for the prompts and assisting me in finding my dream car!

Simply awesome

Speed ,luxury, beauty and comfort all wrapped in one

Awesome, Fun and a Beast!

I wish I had purchased it new when I had a chance. The M4 is a top-notch. Powerfully, responsive, fast!!! I can keep going on and on. I love the combination of sport and luxury! The technology is great! The iDrive provides vehicle status, which keep up with the maintenance. I have driven it in long trips and it never overheated or malfunctioned. Factory run on flat tires are great, I hot a nail once and was able to drive it to a near repair shop. Steering is great at curves, this car can be set to comfort but I can set up either the M1 or the M2 buttons in the steering wheel to switch from comfort to a beast. I like the exhaust note, not sure why others dislike it, it has an auto stop settings mode so it shuts up at traffic lights and by pressing the gas pedal is back on! My best advise if you are planning to run your M4 in the snow, get another set of wheels with snow tires! the car will perform great in winter. Overall I love my F82 M4, too bad they have changed it to a newer model but I love the 1st generation. The competition package is 444 HP, but it feels more powerful! Even braking is good!! the car stops, without losing handling or veering to right or left. The best car I have ever own! UPDATE: I have owned my BMWs, but the F82 M4 is a state of the art car overall. The design of the car and its sporty look is just lovely, all around is beautiful and well made car. The engine is powerful and responsive, I have read other ratings here of people complaining about the technology, or if it is hard to shift to park, or the nav system is out dated etc, all I can say if anyone can find a 100 perfect car let me know! Every car has things that we like and dislike but my M4 is 5 years old now and no engine issues or even paint issues, still shines like new! not to mention all bolts and screw are still in place, I have seen newer cars with bumpers lose, even the interior carpet is lose, paint peeling off, but my M4 still looks as new. No engine problems, no leaks, just a new set of tires and regular maintenance… 63,000 miles today and no issues! the same powerful engine is still going! This car is a beast! you can get to 60 miles in less than 4sec… it is fun to drive, the best M car I ever owned and will keep for long!

Great Experience

Everyone from the front counter to the salesmen to finance was great friendly and ansered any question I had regarding the purchase of my new vehicle.

A German tuned track car with daily driver ability

Worth the money for the competition package.
