Caralogy Methodology
Performance (0-100, top speed) simulated by the Caralogy physics engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves). Motorway consumption values estimated from the manufacturer WLTP cycle.

Demanding drivers: 6th of 27 in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s), 7th of 27 in Power-to-weight (282 hp/t). 6th of 27 in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s), 7th of 27 in Power-to-weight (282 hp/t).
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,8 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M3 Competition xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Kia Stinger GT 3.3T AWD (1st with 270 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 4.2 s 0-100 (6th of 27 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the M4 ranks 6th of 27 in 0–100 km/h, 0.7 s off the reference BMW M3 Competition xDrive (3.5 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (15th of 27 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 270 km/h.

BMW M4: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the M4 rank in its segment?
Among the 27 saloons 2018–2022, the M4 ranks 6th of 27 in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s, behind the BMW M3 Competition xDrive), 15th of 27 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Kia Stinger GT 3.3T AWD), 7th of 27 in Power-to-weight (282 hp/t, behind the BMW M4 Competition).
How much does the M4 cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a BMW M3 Competition xDrive instead?
The BMW M3 Competition xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s vs 4.2 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M4 vs BMW M3 Competition xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
