The BMW M4 Coupé M Performance Kit (F82) represents the fifth generation of the BMW M series and was produced from 2014 to 2020. The vehicle is based on the BMW 4 Series and offers a blend of performance, precision, and outstanding driving comfort. Designed by Chief Designer Adrian van Hooydonk and the engineers at the M Division, this car showcases sporty lines and aerodynamic features. The M4 comes with a 3.0-liter inline-six turbocharged engine generating 431 horsepower and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds. One of the standout technical innovations of this model is the adaptive M suspension, which automatically adjusts to road conditions for optimal driving safety and dynamics.
The BMW M4 Coupé boasts distinctive design elements, including the signature strut brace in the engine bay, which impresses both visually and structurally. The Akrapovič exhaust system is another highlight, enhancing both the sound and reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. Aerodynamic enhancements from the M Performance Kit include carbon front splitters, side skirts, and a rear diffuser, increasing downforce and enhancing handling. Despite its sporty nature, the M4 also offers essential comfort features like a high-quality Merino leather interior and the BMW iDrive system.
