Frankly, there aren't many sports coupes that measure up to the BMW M4. It's wild and refined in every aspect, and if you want wilder, this is where the Competition model, in this case, the 2023 BMW M4 Competition, comes in. The Competition name, as anyone would have guessed, takes the car's performance parameters higher, and it does so in more than just under the hood. Besides a few extra ponies, the chassis gets extra bracing, the suspension is reworked, and the interior receives more carbon. Speaking of carbon, the exterior gets more of it as well. Since we can't list every way the 2023 M4 Competition is better than the standard M3, let's break it down into bits, starting with its performance.
Under the 2023 BMW M4 Competition's hood is just more than an engine, which, unlike the standard M3, makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb.ft. To make it sharper, BMW added extra aluminum bracing that links to an aluminum sheer panel. There's more aluminum underneath, including on the suspension and subframe but let's talk performance numbers. 0-60 mph takes around 3.8 seconds compared to the standard M4's 4.1 seconds. That is not, however, because of weight reduction despite all the carbon bits. The 2023 M4 Comp is 50 pounds heavier, give or take, tipping the scales at roughly 3,900 pounds. One of its drawbacks is that BMW didn't include the M driver's package on the 2023 M4 Competition, meaning it has a 155-mph top speed similar to some of its siblings, including most M2 and M3 variants. If you get an example with the driver's package, the car will do 180 mph flat out.
BMW interiors have never disappointed, offering the best even in entry-level models, but what you get inside, the 2023 BMW M4 Competition's cabin is something else. The carbon buckets are the first major upgrade you'll notice if you have been looking at standard BMW m4s for sale. They almost make you want to buy the car immediately. Sure, they were made to sit on, but they're so nice that you wouldn't want to put creases on them. The rest of the interior remains similar to the standard M4. If you're not a fan of merged displays, you'll find the 12.3-inch separate instrument cluster and the similarly-sized infotainment display aesthetically pleasing and intuitive. The displays also offer a more traditional look compared to most new cars, including some BMWs, such as the BMW M2 and M3.
You're entitled to any opinion on the 2023 BMW M4 Competition's grille, but from every other angle, everyone agrees it's an undeniably good-looking car. The best angle to appreciate it from is the rear three-quarter view, which showcases all the curves and lines in their full glory. Our favorite view is the rear end, which mirrors the car's subtle aggression and adds carbon bits, a lip spoiler, and a diffuser, similar to the front end. The dual exhaust tips on each side enhance its aggressive look. Some examples, however, feature a center quad exhaust that is absolutely stunning. Beyond aesthetics, it reduces weight by about 11 pounds compared to the standard exhaust, and it sounds better thanks to ceramic-coated quad titanium end tips. Also, according to BMW, the center-mounted exhaust's sound changes depending on the driving mode and can be electronically adjusted via flaps, just like the standard exhaust.
The 2023 BMW M4 Competition is loaded with tech, and calling it "packed" doesn't do it justice. Whether you use all of them or only a few, BMW's focus on delivering top-notch amenities is evident. Inside the cabin, the displays run on BMW's iDrive, including navigation, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, and more. For easier control, you can use BMW's Intelligent Personal Assistant or gesture control, which works better than expected. Want to tailor the car to your driving preferences? The 2023 M4 Competition allows you to do that by selecting various modes, including Comfort mode and Sport + mode. There's also Sport mode, a mix of the two, and M mode, which allows you to adjust every setting independently. We won't cover the driver assistance and safety features in detail, but you can be confident that the car has everything required and beyond. Let's talk about the pricing next.
Besides its brutal launches, the 2023 BMW M4 Competition will make you wince when you see the price. However, despite that, it's unquestionably worth every penny making up the roughly $80,000 you'll pay to own one.
