2015 BMW M4 Review
Bred for the racetrack yet destined to be driven every day, cars like this are judged not only by their lap times but how well they'll play as a daily driver. The balancing act is extremely difficult which is why this next generation M3 Coupe - now named the M4 - is utterly amazing.
Hang around Bimmer-heads long enough and you’ll realize they don’t like model years very much, instead preferring BMW’s internal codes to describe their cars, like calling this the F82. And like most car curmudgeons you meet, they’re fiercely resistant to change. So this all-new 2015 M4 must be driving them crazy. It’s the fifth generation of the M3 lineage which dates back to the 1980s, but to adhere to BMW’s new nomenclature which designates 2-door models with even numbers, it’s called the M4. The V8 is also gone, supplanted by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6 – the first time BMW has turned to forced induction for this car. But don’t fret Mr. Fusser. Change can indeed be a good thing and the M4 is automotive proof.
