The best performance comes with the optional seven-speed automatic transmission that incorporates launch control for faster start times. Around town, the M4 is a great car to drive and an excellent performer on motorways but it's on the track where the BMW offering shows its best performance. There's a long list of standard equipment including 19-inch alloy wheels, a carbon fibre roof and a differential to deliver power to the wheels that need it. Despite the performance levels, it's a comfortable place to spend time with supportive seats with the firm's ConnectedDrive features such as real-time traffic information and also their concierge service, making this a hard-to-beat offering. For those who want the competition pack, there's additional power output and torque of 550 Nm with an adaptive sports suspension to enhance the handling and performance features. Essentially, the BMW M4 delivers effortless performance and a thrilling ride for those wanting an exceptional coupe or convertible with the models featuring the competition pack delivering excellent track performance too.
