BMW M4 Competition
The two-door M car above the M2: a 530 PS twin-turbo straight-six with all-wheel drive, sold in India in one Competition M xDrive form. It is quicker and more stable than the M2 and has a little more room, but costs about ₹56 lakh more. It suits a buyer who wants a fast coupe that can be used year-round, rain or dry.

Our verdict on the M4 Competition
At about ₹1.63 crore ex-showroom the M4 Competition is a serious amount of money for a two-door car, but it does a lot. All-wheel drive makes its 530 PS usable on Indian roads in a way a rear-drive car of this power often is not, and the boot and rear seats are slightly more usable than the M2's. Running costs will be high: wide performance tyres, big brakes and CBU parts pricing. It sits low, so your daily route matters. If you want four doors, the M5 costs more again, and the M340i gives most of the everyday pace for less than half the price. Buy the M4 if you want a fast, secure coupe and accept the bills that come with it.
Good things
- All-wheel drive puts 530 PS down cleanly, even in the wet.
- Bigger boot and cabin than the M2.
- Strong standard kit, including the carbon roof and a 360-degree camera.
Could be better
- Costs about ₹56 lakh more than an M2.
- Low ride height and a firm ride.
- No manual option and no cheaper rear-drive version in India.

BMW M4 Competition: all-weather pace in a two-door coupe
BMW India sells the M4 in a single Competition M xDrive form. The 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six makes 530 PS and 650 Nm, sent through an eight-speed automatic to all four wheels. BMW claims 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and a fuel figure of 9.9 km/l, which you will only see on gentle highway runs. Top speed is 250 km/h.
The M4 is bigger than the M2, with a longer wheelbase and a bigger boot, so it is the easier of the two M coupes to take on a weekend away. The cabin uses BMW's latest curved screen layout. As with every M car, it is firm and low, and wide tyres make road noise. Owners in cities with rough roads should plan routes and ramps around its low nose; BMW India does not publish a ground clearance figure.
Is the M4 Competition worth the extra over the M2?
You pay roughly ₹56 lakh more. In return you get 50 PS more, all-wheel drive, a larger boot and more rear space. The M2 is more playful and offers a manual. For a car used often and in all weather, the M4 is easier; for a weekend toy, the M2 is better value.
Can I use an M4 every day in India?
Yes, with care. The automatic and all-wheel drive make it easy in traffic, and the seats are comfortable. The low nose and firm ride are the main limits, along with tyre wear and cost.
What should I budget for running costs?
Expect premium prices for tyres, brakes and servicing compared with a regular 4 Series or 3 Series. BMW India service packages are worth pricing before you buy. Insurance on a car of this value is also a significant yearly cost.
