There are plenty of different
specifications to consider for the all-new 2021 BMW 4-Series Coupe, all of
which may or may not help distract you from the most polarizing aspect of the
car, the large vertical double kidney grille. Now, if the standard spec isn’t
sporty enough for you and the M Sport package still feels too “stock”, rest
assured BMW has you covered.
The German carmaker is making an extensive
selection of M Performance parts available to new 4-Series Coupe buyers from
launch, which means there’s probably a configuration out there that suits
everyone.
If you opt for the M Performance parts,
you get some of that BMW motorsport expertise with the addition of a carbon
fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, intake surrounds, branded decals,
carbon fiber mirror covers, boot lid spoiler and side skirts. Other standout
features include the black multi Y-spoke wheels, large red brake calipers and
Pirelli P zero rubber.
Inside, there’s the M Performance steering
wheel with the carbon fiber center hub, a red 12 o’clock stripe, carbon fiber
shift paddles (with matching red + and – signs) as well as more M Performance
badging throughout.
The model showcased here is the M440i
xDrive, powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six, sending down 369 HP with the help of an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It also has an 11
HP mild-hybrid 48V starter-generator system. BMW claims that the M440i xDrive
can rocket to 100 km/) in just 4.7 seconds.
