Mileage, Top speed and Performance
Fuel economy is not the primary factor BMW M4 was designed around – it is designed to provide an adrenaline rush to the driving experience. With that said, the engineers of BMW have made sure that there is decent real-life efficiency of a car of this type.
Mileage
- The BMW M4 Competition is ARAI-certified to have an approximate 9.710.24 kmpl fuel efficiency depending on the test cycle.
- An average of approximately 8.5-10.5 kmpl is reported by users in real Indian driving situations, especially in urban traffic.
- On open highways with a well-trained right foot, the figure goes up to about 1213 kmpl. The maximum range in a full tank of capacity (59 litres) is about 604 km under ARAI conditions.
Top Speed
- The M4 Competition xDrive has a standard electronically controlled top speed of 250 km/h.
- This limiter is increased to 290 km/h with the optional M Driver’s Package.
- The M4 CS is also track-oriented, featuring an electronically-limited top speed of 302 km/h making it one of the fastest production cars to be sold in India.
0100 km/h Acceleration
- The M4 Competition xDrive accelerates to 100 km/h in a mere 3.5 seconds, whereas M4 CS reduces this time to 3.4 seconds. To put it into perspective, this speed places the M4 in the ranks of numerous supercars that are much more expensive.
- The xDrive AWD system has a rear-biased distribution of torque, which provides traction even when wet, and a special 2WD mode enables an experienced driver to experiment with controlled oversteer.
BMW M4 Interior Features
- Enter the BMW M4 and the message is very clear: this is a cockpit that is driver-centric but geared towards performance and enveloped in luxury.
- BMW takes over the dashboard with a curved screen configuration that consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen with the most recent BMW Operating System.
- The system has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice recognition through BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, and over-the-air updates.
- The M Sport bucket seats are one of the best in any production car; they are comfortable when cornering aggressively and are comfortable when on normal commutes. The CS variant gets even more aggressively bolstered M Carbon bucket seats.
- The M4 has a 2+2 seating configuration, i.e. occupants in the rear have sufficient space during short trips but could be tight in terms of headroom during long trips.
- A performance coupe has a decent boot space of 440 litres.
M4 Exterior Features
- The present-day G82 BMW M4 can be recognised at a glance – and intentionally polarising.
- The most notable design feature is the enlarged vertical kidney grille that is far broader and higher than any prior BMW and has become a icon (and controversial) of the current M4.
- The front bumper has behind the grille, large air intakes, required to supply the twin-turbo engine and to cool the brakes.
- The body is made broader than a regular 4 Series and the wheel arches are flared to fit staggered 19-inch (front) and 20-inch (rear) M-spec alloy wheels.
- The rear is typified by a high bootlid spoiler, twin exhaust tips and a diffuser-like bottom bumper.
- M Carbon Exterior Package (an optional addition) includes carbon fibre components on the roof, mirror caps, and splitter, which decrease the weight and add visual flair.
- In the M4 CS, there are more aerodynamic features such as increased carbon fibre rear wing.

BMW M4 Competitors In the Market in India
The BMW M4 has a thin slice in the Indian market. Its main competitors include other high performance luxury coupes, and sports sedans that come at the same price range.
| Competitor | Engine | Power | Price (Ex-Showroom) |
| Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance | 2.0L Turbo + Electric Hybrid | ~671 hp | ₹1.95 Crore |
| Audi RS5 Sportback | 2.9L Twin-Turbo V6 | 450 hp | ₹1.10 Crore |
| Porsche 911 Carrera | 3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-Six | 385 hp | ₹2.25 Crore+ |
| BMW M3 Competition xDrive | S58 3.0L Twin-Turbo I6 | 523 hp | ₹1.62 Crore |
The BMW M4 is the most balanced among them in terms of its track-oriented performance, practicality, and brand status. Audi RS5 is more comfortable and practical yet less exciting. The AMG C 63 S E Performance is pricier and more intricate, but stronger. The Porsche 911 is the standard of sports cars but comes at a very high price.
Conclusion
The BMW M4 is the ultimate of the 4 Series series and one of the best performance coups the money can purchase in India today. The Competition xDrive has a starting ex-showroom price of 1.55 crore, the limited CS variant of 1.79 crore, and is, undoubtedly, a unique buy, but one that provides an unparalleled range of functionality. Be it in urban traffic, highway miles or on the limit in a race circuit, the M4 performs all its functions with a proficiency that not many vehicles can equal. The BMW M4 is the ultimate solution in case your budget allows it and you have more driving ambitions than the usual ones.
