2022 BMW M4 Trims Comparison

2022 M4 trim level differences

The 2022 BMW M4 is available in these versions: Coupe, Competition, Competition xDrive Coupe and Competition xDrive Convertible. Every M4 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, making 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque in the Coupe and 503 hp and 479 lb-ft in the Competition. A six-speed manual transmission comes standard on the Coupe, and an eight-speed automatic is optional. The eight-speed auto is standard on Competition models.

The standard M4 comes with notable features such as:

  • LED headlights and daytime running lights
  • 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels with performance tires

  • Electronic limited-slip rear differential for improved traction
  • Front and rear parking sensors

Standard safety equipment in every M4 includes:

  • Forward collision warning with pedestrian detection (alerts you of a possible collision with the car in front)
  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

You can further customize your M4 through a handful of options. Notable picks include:

  • Executive package
    • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
    • Remote engine start
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Power trunklid
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Carbon-fiber bucket front seats
  • Carbon-ceramic brakes
  • M Drive Professional package (includes Track mode as well as other performance displays and settings)

M4 Competition Coupe
Stepping up to the M4 Competition nets you additional power as well as:

  • 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with performance tires
  • Gloss black exterior trim including spoiler and exhaust tips
  • Different seat belts

Some driver safety aids included as standard on the M4 must be added to the M4 Competition:

  • Driving Assistance Professional package
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Lane keeping assist (steers the M4 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
    • Front and rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is about to cross your vehicle's path)

M4 Competition xDrive Coupe
New this year is the xDrive version, which adds AWD and includes:

  • Three driving modes: 4WD; 4WD Sport and 2WD
  • Redesigned front suspension
  • New steering tuning
  • Upgraded oil cooling

M4 Competition xDrive Convertible
The only topless model in the lineup includes all equipment from the xDrive Coupe, plus:

  • Power soft top

Which 2022 M4 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Since the extra power doesn't come at much of an upcharge, we recommend the M4 Competition for drivers wanting something fun, fast and a little more special than the standard model. And for the traditional M car experience, go with rear-wheel drive. Unless you really want all-wheel drive or a convertible, it's a great combination for the price.
