Used BMW M4 for sale: everything you need to know

The M3 name used to apply to both two-door and four-door versions of BMW’s high-performance sports saloon, but in 2014 the brand chose to rename the coupe version of the M3 as the M4 - and that has continued with the latest generation. The two cars are similar under the skin, but with a racier profile the M4 is now more sports coupe than two-door saloon - and predictably, the latest model launched in 2020 is faster and more capable than ever.

BMW hasn’t forgotten to make the M4 entertaining to drive in its pursuit of speed, and it’s still got the ability to go toe-to-toe with sports cars like the Porsche 911, while the option of all-wheel drive brings all-weather security to the table despite the M4 producing more than 500 horsepower. Read on to find out more about the latest M4.

Should you buy a BMW M4?

If you can live with the styling - the M4 is another recipient of BMW’s trend for large, toothy grilles - and the M4 is as easy to recommend as ever to sports car enthusiasts. It ticks just about all the boxes, feeling special from behind the wheel, offering huge performance, and it’s a real corner-carver too, on both road and track.

All UK cars are now sold in Competition form at a minimum, which means the turbocharged straight six under the bonnet makes 510PS or more. There’s no manual gearbox this time around (you’ll need the smaller BMW M2 for that) but the eight-speed automatic is lightning fast and lets you concentrate on other things. All-wheel drive is another feature this time around - and where it’s fitted, it makes accessing all that performance even easier.

But it’s still a BMW 4 Series at heart, and surprisingly easy to live with as a result. On a cruise economy isn’t even that bad, but it’s relatively practical, has a decently-sized boot, and doesn’t ride too badly either. Build quality is also excellent and while the infotainment screen can take some getting used to, BMW’s system remains among the best in its class.

The aforementioned BMW M2 is actually one of the best M4 alternatives, being a little smaller but feeling no less exciting than its larger brother, and coming with that all-important (for some) manual option. Other high-performance coupes to consider include the Audi RS5, Mercedes-AMG C63, the Porsche 911, Lexus RC F, and even the Ford Mustang - which offers the rare combination of a naturally-aspirated V8 engine and a manual gearbox, though it’s nowhere near as capable as the M4 overall.

What’s the best used BMW M4 model to buy?

Your choice is between Competition or CSL with the latest M4 - there’s no ‘standard’ M4 model this time around. There’s also the option of all-wheel drive to help handle all that power, and it’s the car we’d be tempted to look for for its extra security for most of the year when the roads aren’t bone dry. The CSL, meanwhile, struggles to justify its premium over the Competition - though is sure to be more prized by collectors several years down the line, thanks to its rarity.
