The F82 BMW M4 will remain one of BMW's best cars for a while, even though its successor is a much better car based solely on driving dynamics. What makes it so good is how easy it is to live with, and should you experience both, you'll notice a hardcore focus on performance on the G82 that makes it less enjoyable to drive. Sure, that's not a bad thing on the track, but on the road, you can't help feeling out of place even in the car's tamest driving settings. Another thing that the F82 M4, in this case the 2017 BMW M4, will always win on is visual appeal. BMW created a masterpiece, and even though the G82 M4's design is easy to get used to, the F82 will remain one of the best-designed BMWs alongside other M cars from the same era. Does its performance match its aggressive visual appeal? Let's find out.
BMW carried over the same engine they introduced the M4 with to the 2017 BMW M4, but obviously with a power bump. The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six makes 425 horsepower and 406 lb.ft, which it sends to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic or a 6-speed manual. The manual transmission is undoubtedly more fun to drive, but the automatic is quicker, notable through acceleration times. 0-60 takes 3.9 seconds, while the manual takes 4.2 seconds if launched correctly. The top speed maxes out to 155mph, but with the M Driver's the car can easily hassle to speeds north of 170 mph. It's fast on the track too, mainly thanks to the M-calibrated suspension, which manages the car's roughly 3,500 pounds quite easily, making the car as agile as an M2.
The 2017 BMW M4's cabin feels as refined and functional as ever, with high-quality materials, well-thought-out amenities, and a driver-focused layout. But considering its age, expect some examples to show signs of wear and tear, especially in high-traffic touch areas, for example on the door handles, buttons and knobs. The seats might also show signs of wear, but since they're lined in leather, they won't be hard to bring back. There's enough seating space for four, even in the second row, which is often criticized for having terrible legroom and headroom. It's not the best, but it's better than a lot of sports coupes and sports cars. Trunk space is adequate for whatever you want to throw in, and if you need more space, the rear seats should fold down.
Every angle of the 2017 BMW M4, from the grille and unmistakable headlights to its side profile and beautifully sculpted rear, showcases its impressive design. It's a car you look at and instantly want to drive, especially with that assertive M design. The headlights have the F generation distinctive DRLs that, when turned on, give the car an attacking demeanor. Still at the front, you'll notice the vents are larger than other 4 Series vents, enhancing the car's visual appeal and channeling air to cool the engine and brakes. The low stance and wider fenders give the car a muscular appeal, bringing a solid visual impact overall.
The infotainment display might be lacking, and the cabin offerings might not be expansive, but everywhere else, the 2017 BMW M4 is well equipped. As mentioned earlier, it's as nimble as the M2, owing to a suite of driver assists, for example, an M-tuned dynamic stability control system that provides outstanding performance on various surfaces and is adjustable through the car's driving models. These include Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus, and each mode can be adjusted independently to alter the suspension stiffness, throttle response, gear shifts, and steering feel. Comfort mode is perfect for daily commutes, while Sport mode enhances engagement for a more thrilling drive. Sport Plus unleashes the car's full potential and turns off some of the driver assists, allowing you to be one with the car. There's more, but let's move on to pricing.
