FAST FACTS
"We still haven't come to terms with the latest M4's styling, but if you're ahead of us there, we can't find much else to complain about.

BMW continues to throw three-pedal fans a bone by putting a stick shift in its base M cars, and we love them for it. Some find the M4's styling challenging, but from the driver seat it's all good.
If you can do without the base M4's manual shifter, BMW rewards you with more power and a lot more torque in the Competition spec.
To get the very best performance in M4-ville, the mighty Competition xDrive Coupe is your ticket. Could you get by with a "lesser" M4? Oh, probably. But do you want to compromise? That's a different question.
With 523 horsepower under the hood, the M4 drop-top will certainly put some wind in your hair.
