2027 BMW M4 Competition xDrive

The M4 is BMW's high-performance coupe and convertible, aimed squarely at the Porsche 911 and the Audi RS5. The M4 delivers sharp steering and immense grip, with the xDrive version offering launch-control acceleration that pins you to the seat. The ride is firm even in Comfort mode, which is the price you pay for the M4's track-ready composure. The cabin is driver-focused with supportive sport seats and a clean digital display, though rear seats are tight and the coupe's trunk is modest. The Competition xDrive is the all-weather M4 for drivers who want launch-control grip and daily usability, while the rear-drive Competition is the purist's pick for track days. Its 3.0L I6 makes 523 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, routed through the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and the EPA rates it at 18 mpg combined. The adaptive M suspension and M Sport differential are standard here, so you get a rear-biased feel even with the front axle pulling.
