    2025 BMW M4 Receives iDrive 8.5 Inch Infotainment System and Live Cockpit Professional

      The range starts at $80,095 for the M4 and rises to $96,295 for the Competition xDrive convertible.

    BMW's M4 Competition, with its three-liter twin-turbo inline-six, already has a lot of power, clocking in at 503 horsepower. For 2025, BMW decided to add more power to the xDrive all-wheel-drive trim for 2025, bumping it up 20 to 523 horsepower. For comparison, non-Competition trims of the Rear-wheel-drive M4 use the same three-liter twin-turbo inline-six producing "just" 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque while the more powerful rear-wheel-drive Competition makes 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque.

    With the six-speed manual transmission, the standard M4 coupe accelerates from 0-60 MPH in 4.1 seconds, while more powerful rear-wheel-drive Competition can achieve this in 3.8 seconds. Since the horsepower bump is meager, the M4 xDrive coupe and convertible have the same 0-60. The M4 Competition xDrive sees 60 MPH in 3.4 seconds, while the convertible achieves this in 3.6 seconds. With the optional M Driver's Package, the top speed increases to 180 MPH for the coupe and 174 MPH for the convertible.

    0-60 times:

    • M4 Coupe RWD - 4.1 seconds
    • M4 Competition RWD - 3.8 seconds
    • M4 Coupe Competition xDrive - 3.5 seconds
    • M4 Convertible Competition xDrive - 3.6 seconds

    Exterior changes include a new headlight LED design, and the taillights receive a new laser-accented design. For a bolder look, a new M Design exterior graphic that puts stripes on the hood and trunk lid in black or red. This includes an M logo on the hood and accent lines around the exterior.

    The interior contains a new steering wheel with a flat-bottomed rim and comes in M Alcantara finish for the first time. BMW has integrated the latest iDrive 8.5 infotainment system in the new M4 with a 14.9-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital cluster. Also standard is BMW's Live Cockpit Professional, which contains navigation and an M-specific heads-up display.

    2025 BMW M4 prices have increased. A base M4 coupe starts at $80,095, and the rear-wheel-drive Competition costs $84,195. The M4 Competition coupe costs $89,295, with the more expensive Competition xDrive convertible coming in at $96,295.

    WOW, so an oversized kidney grill that makes it ugly imho on top of a driver's seat with a raised nutcracker center spot on the driver's seat. I am really thinking that BMW has a bunch of ballless engineers. Not impressed.

      New Toyota Prius HEV LE model - 3 days of motoring

      Ditto to both ... I have heard one person make the comparison to the Lambo and it was during the time I had the rental. It's not very upright and I had my issue with the height of the door opening when entering and exiting the car.  It initially was VERY upright and kind of frumpy looking.

      INTERIOR PHOTOS View of the front of the cabin from the driver's door ... this gives a clearer view of how the 2 main screens are placed on the dashboard View of the front of the cabin from the passenger's door This is the main instrument pod and, around the speed readout, the distribution of important data is clear (which seems to be how many pods are now organized, which is appreciated because setting up Bluetooth and all the controls takes a slight amount of time).  There are also green indicators for "ready" and "EV" mode At times, I did not care for the race car type vantage point from where seated and it took adjustment of the seat and the tilt steering wheel to get it closer to one's comfort level The console is clean and simple in its layout It's a tug to the left and forward for reverse ... and a tug to the left and rearward for drive This is the rear seating area of the passenger cabin I do like the roofline and the gullwing feature in the rear door ... this shows what over the shoulder visibility looks like The rear storage area is respectable and, with the roofline, it seems a little more vertical, so it was advantageous to put luggage on its sides Thankfully, there is this cover over the rear and its texture and attachment is similar to other cars ... and, in Toyota, it was similar to the one in their economy car Aygo that they sell in Europe

      EXTERIOR PHOTOS Side view ... and some palm trees Angled front view Angled rear view ... note the interesting taillamp arrangement Low-slung, sports car appearance, yet it's a practical small HEV sedan that's come a long way

      This is not good for them and continues to show how terribly run Tesla is. Oil and gas supplier says Tesla is ‘refusing to pay’ $2 million in past-due bills – and that chaotic staffing has only made it worse
