2020 BMW M4 Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Sharp and responsive handling doesn't sacrifice much in comfort
Stout brakes and grippy tires are capable and trustworthy
Interior is well-finished with many standard features

ConsWhat's new

The traditional magic behind BMW's vaunted M-car lineup lies in its balance of comfort and high performance. A prime example is the 2020 BMW M4. A strong six-cylinder engine, taut handling and powerful braking make the M4 a world-class convertible, but you don't need to drive it at world-class levels to enjoy it. Its comfortable seats and user-friendly tech interface make it just as good on the daily commute or long drives out of town.

Sure, you can get those same qualities from BMW's regular 4 Series convertible. But what you won't get is the M4's brash alter ego, the one that grips the tarmac with tenacity and wildly accelerates with nearly 450 horsepower under the hood. It also looks more aggressive than the regular 4 Series thanks to subtle styling enhancements such as wider fenders and a domed hood.

One minor item of note is that the 4 Series and M4 carry over unchanged for 2020, unlike the related 3 Series, which BMW redesigned for the 2019 model year. That means the M4 is getting a bit old, at least from a design and technology standpoint. You might also find that the M4's main rival, the Mercedes-AMG C 63, is more exhilarating to drive. Overall, though, the M4 continues to be a great convertible that maximizes both performance and daily livability.

Which M4 does Edmunds recommend?

The 2020 BMW M4 comes in a single trim level, so tailoring one to your style involves options. The most significant choice is between the manual transmission or the dual-clutch automatic. You'll feel more engaged with the manual. But given the M4's all-purpose role, the automatic might be the better call. If you are the kind of driver who relishes shifting gears yourself, you might consider the Competition package for its larger wheels and advanced suspension and drivetrain components.

BMW M4 models

The 2020 BMW M4 is based on the company's 4 Series and offered as a coupe or a convertible. It comes with plenty of standard features, starting with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine (425 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of torque) and either a six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

An adaptive sport-tuned suspension, electronic rear differential, 18-inch wheels and high-grip tires cover the performance spectrum. And interior luxuries include leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable seats, and an infotainment system highlighted by an 8.8-inch display, navigation, Apple CarPlay and a 16-speaker surround-sound system.

A few key optional packages are also available for the M4. The Competition package ups the M4's power rating to 444 horsepower and adds 20-inch wheels, revised settings for the adaptive suspension, an even sportier exhaust, and some interior trim upgrades such as M stripes on the seat belts. The Executive package offers adaptive LED headlights, automatic high beams, side- and top-view cameras, an automated parking system, a head-up display and speed limit information.

Other options include carbon-ceramic brakes, blind-spot monitoring and wireless device charging.

2018 BMW M4 Competition Package Acceleration Test

[MUSIC PLAYING] CARLOS LAGO: This is the 2018 BMW M4. It's got the competition package, which means it has 444 horsepower. We're going to do an acceleration run, which should be a bit of fun, considering you have that power, a rear drive car, and a six speed manual. Now, we'd like to start by doing what we call the key up run. Assume you had just turned the car on, let it warm, up and jumped on the gas, and found out what would happen. That's what testing is, after all. I have got to key up settings on. So comfort everything, from the steering, to the suspension, to the gas pedal. And I think I mentioned the stability control too. Let's go with a 2800 RPM launch. So a little bit of slip before stability control comes on. This 3 liter straight or V6, to a straight-six. Ha. You saw that. This test track we're doing the acceleration run on has a few bumps. The bumps are apparently big enough to trigger the stability control. That could be interesting. So for run number two, I'm going to put the gas pedal aggressiveness in sport. I'm going to put the dampers in the sport plus to see how they do with those bumps that we're hitting. And I'm going to put the steering in sport, because why not. I'm feeling sporty. Stability control and trash control are now completely off. We'll go with let's say a 2,300 RPM launch. And we'll come off the clutch quickly instead of sidestepping it. Very quick, very quick car. You've got to take your time with the shifter. You can't do it too quick. A little rubbery with the feel. Though, I kind of like it. It's a classical BMW feel. The rear end of this car when it gets a big bump, there's so much power going to those tires that it feels like it's almost about to lose traction. It doesn't. It stays straight and true. But I've got to say, it's surprising at how loose that rear end can feel under straight acceleration. OK. Here we go. Run number three. We're going to see if we can bump up the RPMs a little bit and get a smoother launch out of the car. There we go. Bump one. You've got to consider that where I'm hitting the bumps on the straightaway are always right at the top of the gear. So like at 7,400 RPM, 7,300 RPM, there's that bump. And that's when the engine's doing peak power, I think. It may be doing peak power a lot lower at the engine speed. A lot of power are going to those rear tires when the rear axle gets that bump. I wish it was a little bit better controlled. Run number four. Here we go. Yes. Yeah. A little bit of wheel spin right at the top. I I think I was a little too high on the engine speed right there. I've got to say, for a car with this much power going to the rear wheels, with a traditional six speed manual layout, it's not a too difficult of a car to launch. The motor rips. I've said that before, but it's worth repeating. This thing has a ton of power. It sounds really good at high RPMs and not so great at low RPMs. It's kind of hard to fault it over power delivery. I just wish the rear end was a little bit more buttoned down. So that's going to wrap up this episode of how to accelerate your BMW M4.

BMW M4 vs. Audi RS 5

Deciding between the M4 and the newer RS 5 will still likely come down to personal preference instead of any logical decision point. The RS 5 comes standard with all-wheel drive, which is great for high-performance traction as well as driving on slippery surfaces. The M4 is rear-wheel-drive only, which may be more entertaining for performance-oriented drivers. You can also get it with a manual transmission.

BMW M4 vs. Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class received a recent refresh and added features but not enough to tip the scales in its favor by a significant margin. The C 63 has a power advantage and a wonderfully burly V8 engine. When it comes to overall performance, it remains a very close battle.

BMW M4 vs. Lexus RC F

While the RC F can't match the M4's outright handling, athleticism and all-around performance craft, it does deliver on the Lexus hallmarks of comfort and luxury. It also crushes the M4 on one key metric alone: its 5.0-liter V8 engine. The M4's turbo six-cylinder is a fine mill, but it doesn't sound very good at low speeds. The Lexus V8, meanwhile, sounds throaty and well-fed at any speed, and it's delightful to step into with authority.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 BMW M4?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
