Used BMW M4 2014-2020 review

The Power of the Turbocharged BMW M4

When BMW introduced the turbocharged motor in the M4, it wasn’t just about the raw power figures. The way that power was delivered became just as important.

The M4 was undeniably fast, with launch control propelling it from 0-60mph in just 4.1 seconds and reaching 100mph in 8.8 seconds. Despite being limited to 155mph, it took only 25.2 seconds to hit 160mph on a straight mile, with a quarter-mile time of 12.3 seconds at 120.9mph – just a hair slower than a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

BMW’s decision to use two small turbos, each working on three cylinders, ensured quick spooling for the engine. The sophisticated oil return system also prevented starvation during intense track-day sessions, allowing drivers to fully exploit the car’s capabilities.

Although the turbocharged engine lacked the immediate response of a naturally aspirated one, it still outperformed its peers. It was smooth, revved high, and delivered power similar to a naturally aspirated engine at higher revs.

In comparison to competitors like the Audi RS5 and Mercedes-AMG C63, the M4 offered superior performance across a wider rev range. Despite a slight delay in throttle response, it was consistently faster through the gears.

The exhaust note of the M4 was also impressive, with engine noise amplified through the speakers for a more engaging driving experience. The optional carbon-ceramic brakes provided excellent feel and response, even when cold, and remained consistent after repeated laps on the track.

On the track, the brakes performed best with a gentle initial pedal application, avoiding premature ABS engagement for more effective stopping power.

Overall, the turbocharged BMW M4 showcased a perfect balance of power, performance, and handling, making it a standout choice in its class.
