Calling the BMW M4 good almost feels like selling it short. It's simply an outstanding car in every sense. Since its debut, it has consistently met and exceeded expectations, although the G82 M4 initially sparked heavy debates due to its grille design. Now that we're here, BMW's recent design choices haven't been the best, and it looks like we'll have to get used to them. But one thing is for sure: there's no denying that underneath, BMW cars still hold their place among the best in performance. The 2023 BMW M4 is proof of this, as its performance is reason enough to buy one. Sure, it's not as lively as the M4 Competition, but it guarantees that M experience on all fronts, including the interior. But let's start with what's under the hood.
Few manufacturers make cars with a manual transmission, and BMW is among the few. The 2023 BMW M4 was offered standard with a 6-speed manual transmission paired with a 3.0-liter inline-six producing 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. But if you want more precise gear shifts, you can buy one with the 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Now, to the performance numbers. 0-60 mph should take about 3.4 seconds with the automatic transmission and approximately 3.6 seconds with the manual. Is a 0.2-second difference worth the trade-off in driving engagement? That's for you to decide. The weight difference is minimal, with the automatic transmission adding around 50 pounds to the standard 3,709 pounds. Top speed is the same for both, limited to 155 mph without the M Driver's Package or up to 177 mph with the package.
BMW carried over the M4 into 2023 without any changes, including the interior. This means the cabin has a similar layout and materials to the previous model year G82 M4s. The overall ambiance exudes a sense of performance but remains practical and comfortable. The bucket-style sports seats, lined in leather, are both comfortable and supportive and incorporate heating, a memory function, and multi-position adjustability. These were part of the standard comfort offerings inside the cabin but the rear seats didn't get any. But thankfully, second-row passengers won't be as uncomfortable, say, in a BMW M2 as the headroom is fairly decent, and so is the legroom.
Carbon fiber heavily adorns the 2023 BMW M4's exterior, but it's quite disappointing that you can't see most of it as it's only visible on the front splitter and roof. But the carbon isn't for aesthetics only as it reduces the car's weight, lowering the center of gravity and enhancing its performance. The front bumper might have been controversial at first, but you get used to it quickly, especially when you realize how aggressive it makes the front end. The massive vents also contribute to that aggression while remaining functional in enhancing airflow to the radiators and brakes. From the front to the side profile and rear, the 2023 M4 showcases a clean, low stance without overly expressive design elements. The rear maintains a minimalist yet aggressive look, particularly if equipped with the center-mounted exhaust.
The 2023 BMW M4, as is expected of a BMW, is equipped with everything you need. Inside, you get an intuitive and thoroughly outfitted 12.3-inch infotainment display with voice activation, SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and real-time traffic display, among other features. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster does all that is expected, but it's also quite customizable, which will impress even if you prefer analog displays. Safety is paramount, and the 2023 M4 doesn't disappoint with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance and safety features. Some features to expect include but are not limited to electronic stability control, forward and rear collision mitigation alert, driver monitoring alert, and tire-specific low tire pressure warning. These are, of course, in addition to the essentials such as ABS, dual-stage airbags, and airbag occupancy sensors on the front seat, among other features.
A 2023 BMW M4 Competition will typically set you back around $75,000 if it's in good condition and has common factory options. However, you might find some selling for less, though rarely below $60,000, and those priced higher generally do not exceed $80,000. Eager to buy one?

The BMW M4 has always set the standard for performance coupes, and the 2023 BMW M4 is proof of that. It's designed to meet and exceed every expectation except on the design and practicality fronts, depending on your preferences. But what it lacks in those areas and a few others, it makes up for with driving excitement, especially if you get one with a manual transmission.
