What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the M4 is staggeringly quick and engaging, with precise, controllable handling, a high-quality cabin and usable rear seats. The common criticisms are the divisive grille, an engine that could sound more characterful, a firm ride and a high price; What Car? found it needs to be driven hard to come alive.
