There aren't many cars that can rival the BMW M4, which is why it's often compared to vehicles that seem to have an advantage until they go head-to-head with the M4. The Mercedes C63 AMG is one such competitor, and even with more power, the M4 outperforms it in most comparisons. This speaks volumes about what the M4 is capable of, and the best part is that it can deliver this performance while remaining civilized when needed. Its design exudes its potential, with sharp lines and aggressive styling cues. Inside, it's comfortable and accommodating for a car of its size. We'll get into detail about the interior and design later. First, let's talk performance numbers.
BMW's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six is the common thread that ties the M4, M3 and M2 together. However, their driving experiences are distinct. The 2022 BMW M4, despite its identical power and torque figures to the 2022 M3 (473 horsepower and 306 lb.ft), offers a blend of M2-like agility and M3-like stability, largely due to its weight distribution. 0-60 mph takes around 3.5 seconds, which is quicker than the M3 thanks to two fewer doors, bringing the weight down to around 3,700 pounds. However, that's with the 8-speed DCT. In a 2022 M4 with a 6-speed manual transmission, 0-60 mph takes approximately 3.8 seconds, a trade-off we believe is well worth it for the added driving engagement. But regardless of the transmission, the top speed is capped at 180 mph.
The 2022 BMW M4's interior is very much like the exterior, showcasing design cues and finishes that exemplify the car's nature. While not as hardcore as the carbon buckets in the M4 Competition, the front seats are plush and well-bolstered, ensuring comfort even during long drives. The rear seats have decent shoulder room, headroom, and legroom for two, but not for extended periods. Luckily, they are finished to a high standard, just as the front seats. Moving back to the front, the dashboard is sleek and ergonomic, with all controls being easy to use and reach, and nothing takes too long to get used to, including the digital instrument cluster and infotainment display.
Since it was first unveiled, BMW's approach to the M4 has always been straightforward: start with the M3, remove two doors, and give you one of the best-looking sports coupes. The 2022 BMW M4 carries over the G80 M3's front fascia with few noticeable differences. This is why we wish BMW had made the M4's front end more aggressive, especially since it's positioned as a slightly higher-tier model. However, the M4's rear end is more assertive, featuring sharper taillights, a more pronounced rear diffuser, and seemingly larger exhaust tips. Moving to the front, the wider rear wheel wells are designed to accommodate the car's broader track compared to the standard 4 Series models. This design theme continues to the front fenders and hood, where the contoured lines are more for aesthetics, matching the car's overall character.
In a BMW, you get everything you need and nothing you don't, and the 2022 BMW M4 is no exception. It provides everything needed to customize your driving experience, with options that address everything from performance to comfort. Regarding performance, you can change the car's behavior altogether from playful to timid. If you prefer everything to behave differently, you can do so by programming two different customized modes onto the M1 and M2 switches on the steering wheel. BMW added Android Auto iDrive as standard for the first time in 2022, and in addition to that, the infotainment display also has Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot, inbuilt navigation, SiriusXM, and real-time traffic display.
