Car Review of 2022 BMW M4 Competition. Not subtle. Just fast. — via drivingdotca autonews carreview autoindustry roadtest luxuryvehicles
First, a saunter through the cockpit of this rather large coupe. Since the current 3-series is about as big as the 5-series used to be, that makes this M4 roughly the size of an old M6. It’s a far cry from the compact DTM brawler of the 1980s. The M4 is grand tourer sized, bred as much for autobahn hauling as for tackling the Nürburgring.
Grasp the cartoonishly-thick steering wheel, aim this car at the horizon, and stomp the throttle. The grip from all four wheels means this is no German Mustang. BMW claims the M4 can hit highway speeds from a standstill in 3.5 seconds, and if anything they are being too modest. This is a tremendously fast machine.But despite the auto-box and the 1,800 kg curb weight, the M4 is far from a blunt instrument.
Then, if you so wish, you can flick one of the two M-mode buttons into your preferred Dr. Jekyll setting, and it’s an entirely different beast. Because this car’s behaviour is directly tied to the engineering behind the standard 4-series, it is capable of transforming into the exact opposite of its big-grilled extrovert nature. It’s a cruiser, when you want it to be.
But the M4 is best experienced by embracing all the technology it offers. It is far too focused on performance above all else to be worrying about trying to recoup some frisson of driver experience, the sort that you got from the simplicity of the old cars. This is three-quarters of an M5 with two doors and various available shouty shades of paint.
