Since its introduction, the BMW M4 has been a consistent favorite, offering a mix of power, agility, and style. It gets all its attributes from the M2 and M3, and honestly, few cars have such a combination. It's so impressive that despite having fewer cylinders and being less powerful, the BMW M4 is often compared to the Mercedes C63 AMG which it beats hands down. And if you want better, you don't go for a standard M4; you go for the M4 Competition, in this case, the 2021 BMW M4 Competition. The only downside is that you can't get one with a manual transmission, but other goodies in the Competition package more than make up for that. Another downside is that the standard M4 has been noted to have more comfortable seats, but we'll discuss that when discussing the interior. Let's start with the performance figures first.
The 2021 BMW M4 Competition might be mechanically similar to the M3 Competition, but we don't like how BMW basically copied and pasted the powertrain without a power bump. Both cars make do with 503 horsepower and 479 lb.ft, but the M4 Competition has a weight advantage as it weighs around 3,800 pounds. However, that's heavier than the F82 M4 Competition, which is also better looking. Back to the 2021 M4 Competition now. The weight advantage plus a retuned transmission and a reworked transmission, among other tweaks, give it a quicker 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of around 180 mph. That might seem like a lot, but it's limited despite being higher than the standard M4's 155 mph.
Due to its performance-oriented focus, Luxurious isn't the proper term for the 2021 BMW M4 Competition's cabin. Instead, it's best described as premium and performance-centric, featuring high-quality materials such as leather, carbon fiber, Alcantara, and aluminum finishes on the doors and dashboard. This material contrast creates a racing-inspired atmosphere that sets the tone every time you enter the cabin. As for the seats, the M4 Competition was sold standard with race-style bucket seats that offer excellent support but may lack comfort over long distances and have limited adjustability. But on the upside, they are stunning and heated. On the other hand, the rear seats are not the most accommodating, but they have decent headroom and legroom.
You can get the 2021 BMW M4 Competition as a convertible, but most would agree that the only BMW that looks good with the roof down is the BMW Z4, especially if it's a hardtop. But let's forget about that for now and focus on the car's overall appeal, which is undoubtedly aggressive and matches the car's character. Even though there are divided opinions, the front end sets the scene for what to expect all around, with a massive grille and wider intakes. The carbon front splitter adds to the M aesthetic, complementing design elements like the door mirror caps and pronounced side skirts. The rear end is distinctively BMW, with a clean, striking look. Given the choice between the traditional end-mounted exhaust and the center-mounted setup, the latter would be the preferred option, even if BMW seems to have taken inspiration from the Lexus LFA.
Despite its focus on performance, the 2021 BMW M4 Competition doesn't compromise on comfort or convenience. The only drawback in the cabin is the seats, but as mentioned earlier, they come heated, a feature you definitely want in any car. A 12.3-inch infotainment display sits atop the dash, and unlike in some BMW models, it's not merged with the instrument cluster. Underneath, the 2021 M4 Competition sits on an Adaptive M suspension that allows you to adjust suspension settings to suit various road conditions, from comfortable cruising to track-focused performance. There's also an electronic Active M differential on the rear axle, distributing power optimally between the rear wheels for improved traction, stability, and agility. Still on the performance front, some examples were specced with the M Drive Professional package that includes features like a Drift Analyzer and an M Lap timer, thus aiding in driver skill development and performance analysis.
Most 2021 BMW M4 Competition listings average $70,000, showing that if you buy one, it'll hold its value well since the MSRP was set at $75,000. But that's not the main reason we'd recommend buying one. The real reason is simply because of what the M4 Competition offers as a car. Thinking about purchasing one now? We've got you covered.
