The BMW F82 M4 ///M Performance Edition is an outstanding example of German engineering and design. This luxury sports car belongs to the F82 generation, which was built from 2014-2020. The F82 series represents the coupe version of the BMW M4, one of the most popular models in the BMW lineup. As the successor to the BMW M3 E92, the F82 brought significant improvements in terms of performance and technology. The iconic BMW F82 M4 was developed by the talented designers and engineers at BMW. Prominent names like Karim Habib, the Chief Designer of BMW at the time, and Albert Biermann, former Vice President of Engineering at BMW M GmbH, played a central role in the design and development of this vehicle.
The BMW F82 M4 is equipped with a powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine that delivers an impressive 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque (406 lb-ft). These technical specs allow for a 0 to 62 mph acceleration in just 4.1 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Power is transmitted through a 6-speed manual transmission or the optional 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Adaptive M Suspension and Active M Differential contribute to precise control and superior handling. Providing stopping power are the M Compound brakes, ensuring top performance even under sporty driving conditions. Comparing to its predecessor, the BMW E92 M3, shows how the transition from a V8 engine to an efficient and powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six was a resounding success.
The model car showcased here in a 1/18 scale was crafted by GT Spirit and stands out for its attention to detail and excellent craftsmanship. This model replica is made of high-quality resin, contributing to a precise and accurate reproduction of even the smallest details. The specific features of the BMW F82 M4 ///M Performance Edition can be well observed in the photos of the model car by Modelly member "Maunzens." The iconic three-color ///M livery consisting of blue, light blue, and red is also found on the original BMW F82 M4, giving the vehicle a distinctive look. The carbon fiber side mirror caps and the ventilated brake discs, as well as the sharp lines of the body, are meticulously recreated to capture the original as accurately as possible.
The model car by GT Spirit in a 1/18 scale reflects these impressive design details and technical finesse. The iconic kidney grille with vertical slats and the aggressive front bumper with large air intakes are faithfully reproduced in this model. The sporty wheels, most likely sourced from the specialized wheel manufacturer BBS, contribute to the authentic appearance. These wheels enhance the vehicle's sporty ambitions and blend seamlessly into the overall look. Another highlight is the exclusive ///M livery visible on the hood and along the sides of the vehicle. These short lines and color accents enhance the dynamic appearance and create a cohesive aesthetic. For collectors and enthusiasts, this model car, based on resin and crafted by GT Spirit, is a valuable addition that perfectly captures the flair and fascination of the BMW F82 M4 ///M Performance Edition.
