2022 BMW M4 Review and Specifications – Pricing, Competitors

The 2022 M4 has a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine that offers two horsepower and torque options. The base coupe model has 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque with rear-wheel drive and manual transmission. The upgraded competition model sports a heart-pounding 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque with all-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic transmission. The standard base coupe M4 has a documented acceleration of 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds, while the fully equipped all-wheel drive Competiton model has been reported to shave off over a second from this time, recording a 0-60 mph time in an astonishing 2.8 seconds. Both models come with adaptive dampers, adjustable brake pedal feel, and an electronically controlled exhaust system that gets louder in the Sport modes.

The 2022 M4 comes with a variety of features that have improved the interior look of the car. The most notable changes are a thicker-rimmed steering wheel with red buttons for customizable M drive modes, liberal amounts of carbon fiber trim pieces, and lengthy paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. The standard M sport seats are substantially bolstered and have an illuminated logo and integrated headrest. In addition, they can be optioned with ventilation for the first time on an M4. The optional carbon-fiber front seats look luxurious and lighter than the standard seats; they can also be lowered even more, while the back seats come with an extra inch of legroom than the 2021 model. The M Drive Professional package includes an onboard drift analyzer and lap timer.

The infotainment system in the 2022 M4 is among the best in its class. It features an enormous 12.3-inch touchscreen, myriad control options that allow the user to adjust settings and navigate menus via voice commands, buttons on the steering wheel, and a massive rotary controller and buttons on the center console. It also comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Harman/Kardon audio system. In addition, the Gesture Control feature, a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, and a wireless charging pad are popular among those who want an even fancier infotainment system.

BMW has various safety and drive-assistance features designed to make your driving experience safer and more accessible. Standard features on the M4 include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. These features are designed to keep you aware of your surroundings and help you stay in your lane while driving. In addition, if you upgrade to the adaptive cruise control feature, the M4 will automatically adjust your speed to maintain a safe distance from the car.

The 2022 BMW M4 comes with a competitive limited warranty identical to what Audi and Mercedes-AMG offer. In addition, the powertrain warranty is also suitable for four years or 50,000 miles. However, BMW's complimentary maintenance coverage lags behind Jaguar's, only being good for three years or 36,000 miles.
