BMW M4 Competition Coupe Design
Bimmer fans and enthusiasts alike will appreciate the design language of the M4, even if it does sport a controversial face thanks to those kidneys. Gorgeous or otherwise, is for you to decide but it certainly looks striking in the Sao Paulo Yellow! The M forged double-spoke style alloy wheels receive different colour options as well, and are shod on 19-inch tyres at the front and 20-inchers at the rear. The fins, exhaust pipes, and rear spoiler are finished in dark chrome, while the ORVMs receive a shade of High Gloss Black. You would obviously want to show off your car, but you’ll find the M4 Competition badging on just the tailgate and on the grille.

Power is sent across to all four wheels via an eight-speed M steptronic transmission, while it also sports adaptive suspension, M Sport differential, and the M high performance compound braking setup.
