The 2027 BMW M4 shares a silhouette with the 4 Series and almost nothing else that matters. It runs a 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline-six built for the job, from 473 horsepower in the base car to 523 in the M4 Competition xDrive, and the entry car is still sold with a six-speed manual gearbox. That last fact is rarer every year, and it is the reason a lot of people are reading this page rather than the M440i one.

Prices start at $82,200. BMW of Napa Valley in Fairfield stocks M4s, which is not true of every store in Northern California. This page covers what the M4 adds over the M440i, the engine and drivetrain, the chassis hardware, pricing and packages, and where it sits against its siblings. Shared content such as the cabin technology and the full spec tables lives on the 4 Series pages and is linked rather than repeated.

What the M4 Adds Over the M440i

The M440i makes 386 horsepower from a 3.0-liter inline-six and reaches 60 mph in 4.2 seconds with xDrive. The M4 starts at 473 horsepower and ends at 523, and the quickest version runs 3.4 seconds. But the power figure understates the difference, because the M4 changes hardware rather than tuning.

It is a different engine, a high-performance version of the 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo six. It offers a six-speed manual transmission, which no M440i does. Its top speed is 155 mph against the M440i's 130. Its Competition models carry more aggressive suspension tuning, and its M xDrive system can be set to 4WD, 4WD Sport or 2WD, which no ordinary xDrive car can do. Inside, M Carbon Bucket Seats and an M Alcantara steering wheel are available, alongside 16 upholstery options and three trim choices.

2027 BMW M4 Engine and Drivetrain

Every M4 uses the 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline-six. In the base M4 Coupe it makes 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft, driving the rear wheels through the standard six-speed manual. In the M4 Competition Coupe it makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft through the eight-speed M STEPTRONIC automatic with Drivelogic, still rear-wheel drive. In the M4 Competition xDrive Coupe it makes 523 horsepower and the same 479 lb-ft, with M xDrive all-wheel drive.

The drivetrain scope matters: rear-wheel drive is the only configuration on the M4 Coupe and the M4 Competition Coupe, and M xDrive is exclusive to the Competition xDrive. Because that system can be switched to 2WD, the all-wheel-drive car is the only M4 that gives you both options on the same afternoon.

EPA-rated fuel economy is 16 city / 23 highway / 19 combined for the manual M4 Coupe and the Competition Coupe, and 16 / 23 / 18 for the Competition xDrive. Premium gasoline is required.

2027 BMW M4 Chassis and Hardware

The Competition models carry more aggressive suspension tuning than the base M4 Coupe, which is BMW's own framing of the difference. All three are limited to 155 mph, a higher ceiling than the 130 mph applied across the 4 Series range, which tells you the chassis and brakes are specified to a different standard.

Curb weights run 3,829 pounds for the M4 Coupe, 3,880 for the Competition Coupe and 3,979 for the Competition xDrive. Ground clearance is 4.7 inches on the rear-drive cars. The M4 is also the one member of the 4 Series family with a published payload rating, at 1,058 pounds.

Where the M4 Sits in the 4 Series Lineup

Below it sits the 4 Series, from $51,200, with a 255-horsepower four or a 386-horsepower six across three bodies. Alongside it, the M440i vs M4 comparison takes the closest of those matchups apart properly. The i4 is the electric member of the family, with its own M60 model.

Which 2027 BMW M4 Is Right for You?

• You want to shift it yourself: the M4 Coupe, $82,200, and the only one with the six-speed manual. See M4 inventory.
• You want the sharpest rear-drive car: the M4 Competition Coupe, 503 hp and 3.8 seconds.
• You want every launch to work, in any weather: the M4 Competition xDrive, 523 hp and 3.4 seconds, switchable to 2WD when you want the tail loose.
• You want most of the performance and all of the daily comfort: the M440i xDrive at $69,100 is the sensible sibling, and it is a different brief rather than a lesser one.
