2024 BMW M4

Price Range: $66,845 - $72,990

Good

The 2024 BMW M4's turbocharged inline-six is great, but it's too bad the M4's lack of steering feel can make the car feel disconnected from the road. Beyond performance, the M4 is a surprisingly comfortable, spacious and practical coupe.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Michael Cantu

Updated: 5/8/2026

The M4 is the coupe or convertible version of BMW's long-running M3 sedan. It's engineered to provide both an exhilarating driving experience and plenty of luxury and technology. Few premium brands offer a coupe and convertible with the power and performance of the M4. Changes for 2024 are limited to tech upgrades. BMW modernized the M4's interior with dual display screens that sit side by side (they were previously separate) behind one large curved screen. The infotainment system has also been upgraded to the brand's latest iDrive 8 interface.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Good

7.9

out of 10

We drove the 2024 BMW M4 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the M4 drive? The new BMW M4 packs one magnificent engine. There's copious amounts of power from just off idle until redline, and turbo lag is fairly minimal. Competition models like our test vehicle get a slight bump in power along with some other small upgrades. In Edmunds' testing, the M4 Competition blasted from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and covered the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds at 122.7 mph. That's on par with the latest Chevrolet Corvette and Mercedes-AMG C 63 coupe.

Our test car had the automatic transmission. It shifts crisply and reacts quickly when you need a downshift during aggressive driving, but it also works great for commuting around town too. The optional carbon-ceramic brakes (also on our test car) are fade-free even under hard driving. Our test car stopped from 60 mph in 106 feet, which is a little shorter than average for this class.

The standard adaptive suspension does a good job of keeping the car planted when you're hammering around turns, but we found the firmest setting to be a bit too stiff on the street. Our main complaint is the steering. While it's an improvement over the last M4, it lacks the level of feedback and precision you'll find elsewhere.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the M4? As with any performance car, comfort is a relative term. The M4 Competition's ride is firm, but it's better tuned and more compliant than some of BMW's other M Competition models. The standard adaptive suspension manages most situations well, absorbing impacts without rattling your teeth. Its stiffest setting is too much for public roads, but it's easy to dial it back. Noise and vibration are low for a performance car. It's not whisper-quiet, but the M4 is more refined than its burbly exhaust might suggest.

Our test vehicle had the optional carbon-fiber bucket front seats. These snug, lightweight seats are thin on padding and have a small bump in the seat bottom that fits between the driver's legs. BMW's designers presumably added it to boost lateral support when cornering, or maybe because they just thought it would look cool. But our shorter drivers (under 6 feet tall) found it bothersome. Consider sticking with the standard M4 seats.

The climate control system works fairly well, though we found it runs a bit on the warm side. The controls are mostly easy to use, though the lack of a dedicated sync button to equalize both sizes of the dual-zone system seems like an oversight.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Getting in and out of the M4 can be a pain given the long doors and low seating. But once you're inside, everything seems to come together nicely. The front seats offer lots of adjustment for head- and legroom. Even the rear seat is spacious for adults, at least on short trips. The steering wheel and pedals are perfectly placed for enthusiastic driving. Forward visibility is fine for a coupe, but you'll need the large mirrors and rearview camera to help when backing up because of the blind spots caused by the rear roof pillars.

All major controls are easy to see and reach. The plethora of buttons can look overly busy, but we do appreciate BMW sticking with physical buttons and knobs rather than stuffing everything into the touchscreen interface.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The M4 features the latest in-car tech BMW has to offer, including its latest single dashboard display that houses both the instrument panel and the touchscreen infotainment interface. The video-gamey combo panel may rankle BMW purists with its lack of traditional circular gauges but BMW is going all-in for a tech-first world. Also, we've found the learning curve is a bit steep with the latest version of iDrive; it can be hard to find what you want from all of the various menus and icons. If you prefer to run things from your phone, the M4 offers Apple CarPlay (with wireless connectivity) and Android Auto integration. The voice controls work pretty well, too.

The M4 comes with a mix of standard and optional driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning and parking sensors. Overall, BMW does a nice job of tuning these features to be helpful without being overly sensitive.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? The M4 offers an impressive amount of storage. The trunk space is pretty roomy, and the opening is wide and tall. The rear seats fold down to open the space up further. It's arguably even more impressive inside, with large door pockets and a large center console bin. Even rear passengers have small storage bins.

Got small kids and need to install a child safety seat? That back seat should provide a reasonable amount of room, though the long doors might make getting a kid in and out a bit of a pain. The seat anchors are easy to find and connect to.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The BMW M4 gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg combined (16 city/23 highway). That's close to the bottom of an already somewhat thirsty class. That said, we saw much better fuel economy during our testing, including an impressive 26.6 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route. That's better than we've seen in nearly all of the competition.

Value

7.5/10

Is the M4 a good value? This is a real sticky spot. The BMW M4 Competition is priced right on par with direct rivals such as the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S coupe and Audi RS 5. But our car was loaded with more than $25,000 in extra options. That's a lot of dough and it still didn't have an upgraded audio system or adaptive cruise control. Value drops even further when you consider performance cars such as the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray or Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.

BMW includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty, which is average for the class. You do get an excellent four years/unlimited miles of roadside assistance and three years/36,000 miles of service visits.

Wildcard

7.5/10

Right, so about the M4's new grille ... Looks are subjective, but that massive twin grille just does not work for us or really anyone we've asked. We even asked BMW, and its reps said M4 buyers want a car that looks different from the non-M models. Well, on that front, the automaker succeeded. If we were buying an M4, we'd get it in a dark color to better blend in the grille. The rest of the car looks like a scaled-down BMW M8, and not in a bad way. There are some excellent paint and interior colors to choose from too.

We might be more willing to overlook that face if the M4 was a bit better to drive. While we're big fans of this new engine, the disconnected steering left us wanting more. It's supremely fast and capable, but it doesn't provide quite the same thrills as cars such as the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S coupe, Ford Mustang Mach 1 and Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0.

2024 BMW M4 trim level differences

The 2024 BMW M4 is available as a coupe or a convertible. There are three models to choose from: base, Competition and Competition xDrive. Here's the breakdown of the powertrain and notable features that you get with each: Compare the 2024 BMW M4 trim levels in-depth.

Which M4 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Competition model is the one we recommend for most people, unless you're an enthusiast who prefers the base model's manual transmission. For a small premium, drivers will enjoy the Competition's additional power, quicker-shifting automatic transmission and larger wheels. The Competition also gives you access to the optional Driving Assistance Professional package, a bundle of advanced driver aids.

Competitors to consider

If you're set on having two doors, consider the highly capable Chevrolet Corvette. It's quicker to 60 mph, and it has better steering feel, a more comfortable ride and a lower starting price than the M4. The better-handling Porsche Cayman and more sophisticated Audi RS 5 coupe are two other alternatives. To help you decide if the M4 is right for you, check out our test team's thorough review in the Edmunds Expert Rating below.

Edmunds spotlight: Configurations and track options

Unlike many high-performance luxury cars, the M4 gives drivers multiple configurations to choose from. The base model features a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, but if rowing gears isn't your thing, opt for the more powerful Competition model with an eight-speed automatic. And if all-wheel drive is needed, the Competition xDrive model has you covered. The standard M4 includes a multitude of performance upgrades, but if you plan on enjoying track days, the fade-resistant M carbon-ceramic brakes are a worthy upgrade. The M Drive Professional package is also a must for track days. It adds a Track mode, lap timer and the Drift Analyzer, a feature that tells drivers how well they are drifting.

Corvette? Really?

Dr. GT, 04/29/2021

2021 BMW M4 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Just traded in my 2019 C-7 for a 2021 M-4. I wanted similar performance but more space. Not disappointed! Corvettes are high performance, race cars. This is a refined, 4 person, high performance/elegant/ high tech coupe. C-7 Corvette would beat this car in any race or track. You can’t beat americans oldest formula for power...Displacement! But this is a beautiful, fun to drive …

BMW M4 vs. Chevrolet Corvette

The Corvette is one of our highest-ranking sports cars and a performance bargain. For less than the cost of the M4, the mid-engine sports car provides similar, if not superior, performance, better steering feel and a more comfortable ride. The top-spec Z06 model is a track monster that's only rivaled by the most prominent high-end sports cars. Previously, the Corvette lacked basic advanced driver aids, but that's not the case for 2024 with the addition of a few standard safety features.

BMW M4 vs. Audi RS 5

Audi is the way to go if you prefer a smooth ride and a sleek look from your high-performance sports car. But don't let the RS 5's sophistication fool you. It's not as powerful but it blasted from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds when we tested it, matching the M4 Competition's time. However, driving enthusiasts will likely be drawn to the M4's more engaging driving experience, standard six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.

BMW M4 vs. Porsche 718 Cayman

The 718 Cayman is the sport coupe for those who love driving. The way it steers is almost unrivaled, and it will outhandle most sports cars. The Porsche also boasts superb craftsmanship and high-quality interior materials. On the downside, models with comparable power and performance to the M4 cost more, and more affordable models can quickly get expensive with options. The 718 Cayman also can't compete with the M4's tech, and engine and road noise is intrusive.

Our experts like the M4 models:

Active Driving Assistant: Bundles a number of driver assist features, including a blind-spot warning system and lane departure warning.
Parking Assistant Plus: Steers the vehicle into a parallel or perpendicular parking spot with minimal driver interaction.
Extended Traffic Jam Assistant: Drives and steers the vehicle at low speeds while on the highway to reduce the tedium of driving in traffic.
