Driving enthusiasts adore the BMW M4. Available in 2-door coupe and convertible body styles, the M4 is a high-powered, performance-tuned version of the automaker’s 4 Series model, which is no slouch in the driving enjoyment department. To keep it fresh in the face of new competition from Mercedes, BMW is giving the 2025 M4 models a light refresh.
The 2025 BMW M4 is available in three model designations. The M4 Coupe is the base model, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission. Next up is the rear-drive M4 Competition, available in coupe and convertible body styles but only with an M-tuned 8-speed sport automatic. The top model is the M4 Competition xDrive, which has a fixed roof or a droptop and features standard all-wheel drive.
BMW isn’t making significant changes to the 2025 M3’s styling. The oversized grille remains, flanked by new LED headlights with different lighting signatures. Around the back, the car gets laser-LED taillights. The company also makes subtle changes to the front and rear BMW roundels, and M design graphics are now available for the M3 Coupe’s hood and trunk.
Forged aluminum wheels are standard, in staggered sizes. The M4 wears 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels. Competition models increase the sizes by an inch each, and the larger wheels are optional on the base M4 Coupe. A new design with a bright silver finish is available.
Like the exterior styling, the 2025 BMW M3 interior updates are minor. For example, the SensaTec artificial leather on the dashboard adopts a more premium look and feel, and there are new air vent toggles. Dark Graphite matte interior trim debuts and BMW also offers a new polished aluminum interior trim.
A more noticeable change is the new flat-bottom steering wheel design with a red centering stripe in the high-noon position. As an option, you can wrap it in Alcantara for the first time.
Every 2025 M4 has a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. In the standard M4 Coupe, it makes 473 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 406 pound-feet of torque between 2,650 rpm and 6,130 rpm. A 6-speed manual gearbox transmits the power to the car’s rear wheels.
The M4 Competition supplies 503 hp at 6,250 rpm and 479 lb-ft of torque between 2,750 rpm and 5,500 rpm. It bolts to an M-calibrated 8-speed sport automatic, which propels the rear wheels.
This year, the M4 Competition xDrive models make 20 extra horses, totaling 523 hp. According to BMW, this version of the car accelerates to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds (3.6 seconds for the convertible) and, with the optional M Driver’s Package, tops out at 180 mph (174 mph for the convertible).
Otherwise, dynamically, the BMW M4 is the same as in 2024.
A new operating system powers the M4’s BMW Curved Display, which includes a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. In addition to iDrive 8.5, the tech adds M-specific graphics for a more engaging experience. BMW also revised the climate control interface at the bottom of the infotainment display.
In addition to the iDrive changes, the M4’s ambient interior illumination adds upgraded contour lighting and several animation sequences related to owner arrival and departure, incoming calls, and more.
