Munich’s all-new performance coupé boasts incredible performance and sublime handling, although the new engine lacks the engagement found in past M-cars The new BMW M4 coupé, successor to the iconic M3 coupé and sister car to the four-door BMW M3, with which it shares its mechanical package.The BMW M4 coupé not only introduces a whole new model designation to the long-revered M-car line-up but also a raft of contemporary new driveline developments, including a new twin-turbocharged in-line six-cylinder engine.You can read in-depth information about the technical developments here, but the key figures are a stout power peak of 422bhp and a significant 110lb ft hike in torque to 405lb ft between 1850rpm and 5500rpm.Use of lightweight materials slashes the kerb weight by 83kg to 1497kg, although the optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic M-DCT gearbox, as fitted to our test car, adds 40kg over the six-speed manual, taking the M4 coupé to 1537kg.
