On April 19, the new BMW M4 Coupe/Convertible Coupe was officially launched, including three models: Coupe Thunder Edition, Coupe M xDrive Thunder Edition and Convertible Coupe M xDrive Thunder Edition, with suggested retail prices of 893,900 yuan, 943,900 yuan and 1,013,900 yuan respectively. The new car will also make its debut in China at the upcoming 2024 Beijing International Auto Show.
Adhering to the principle of "design at function", the new BMW M4 Coupe presents an impressive posture and sporty performance with its bold M aerodynamic components, frameless M double-line grille and wide body design. The front of the car is designed to be sharper and sportier, with the iconic angel eye headlights fine-tuned, two vertically arranged arrow-shaped LED units that function as daytime running lights and turn signals, while the LED light clusters are embedded with blue decorative strips to highlight the sense of futuristic technology.
At the rear, the vehicle's taillights are powered by the unique laser taillights found on the BMW M4 CSL, a high-performance special edition model limited to 1,000 units worldwide. At the same time, the new car also offers double-sided quad 100mm exhaust tailpipes, black high-gloss M emblem with silver trim, and new 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged wheels. It is worth mentioning that the new car also has the M carbon fiber exterior package consisting of carbon fiber polygonal air intakes, carbon fiber mirror covers, carbon fiber rear diffuser, and carbon fiber rear spoiler.
In addition, the new BMW M4 Coupe features a lightweight M carbon fiber roof that reduces weight, lowers the vehicle's center of gravity and improves the vehicle's dynamic stability, while the new BMW M4 Convertible Coupe features a soft roof, which combines performance with a sleek and elegant convertible style.
The interior styling echoes the bold exterior, creating a strong sporty look. For the first time, the M multi-function leather steering wheel adopts a flat-bottomed steering wheel with a flat bottom design, and is equipped with a 12-point centering logo, which fills the grip with a sporty driving atmosphere. In terms of details, the new design of the black high-gloss air vents increases the area of the carbon fibre trim on the instrument panel, combined with the signature dual-colour M carbon fibre front seats, the red start/stop button on the centre console, the M-specific instrument cluster and the head-up display/theme to enhance the vehicle's motion perception.
The new M4 Coupe/Coupe features the latest generation of the BMW operating system, integrating a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.9-inch touchscreen display, and supports front-row long video streaming applications. The new online BMW navigation system provides online update of map data, online route planning and real-time traffic information display. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is also more responsive, has more accurate voice recognition, and can also make suggestions to the driver based on the user's driving habits. The new car is also equipped with a BMW digital key, which can unlock/lock the doors and start the vehicle with a mobile phone.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with M's exclusive high-performance 3.0-litre inline-six twin-turbo engine, of which the M xDrive Thunder Edition model has increased its maximum output by 15 kW to 390 kW (530 hp), and the peak torque reaches 650 Nm. The drivetrain is mated to an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic manual transmission with Drivelogic's multi-shift mode, enabling the M xDrive to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
Both models also offer variable sports steering, DSC dynamic stability, M carbon-ceramic high-performance calipers, M sports suspension, and M xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive with integrated active M differential. The M Elite driving mode, exclusive to BMW M models, not only makes driving data more intuitive, but also assists the driver in improving drift technology and lap times through M drift analysis and M lap time, while M traction control allows the driver to adjust the traction level to continuously explore the limits of the car's driving in the race track.
This year, the BMW M core product will be completely renewed, and nearly 10 high-performance and performance models will be launched, including the new BMW M4 coupe/convertible coupe, the all-new BMW X2 M35i, and the upcoming all-new BMW M5.
