Caralogy Analysis

Tailored to this vehicle?

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 5th of 14 in Top speed (250 km/h). 5th of 14 in Top speed (250 km/h).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,1 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.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (1st with 307 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.2 s 0-100 (7th of 14 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the M4 ranks 7th of 14 in 0–100 km/h, 0.7 s off the reference Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive (3.5 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (5th of 14 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 307 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.

Among the 14 saloons 2022–2026, the M4 ranks 7th of 14 in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s, behind the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive), 5th of 14 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio), 6th of 14 in Power-to-weight (282 hp/t, behind the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Bmw M4 Competition with M 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 M4 Competition with M xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.

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.
