Vehicle Description
2015 BMW M4 Coupe
"These cars are neither silky nor subtle; rather, they are muscular
and irrepressible. Hell, at times they seem borderline
irresponsible. A heady go on a switchback road translates to
bewildering accelerations down straights and sharp stabs of carbon
ceramic brakes with such sudden decelerations that bodies snap into
seatbelts. T urn off the Dynamic Stability Control completely, and
it's easy to spin tires and get more than a bit sideways. As such,
the M3/M4 encourage silliness and are as fun as any production cars
currently on the market." MotorTrend's combo review of the 2015 M3
and M4, May 2014
For consignment, a 2015 BMW M4 coupe with a title verified 69,885
actual miles, a one owner car who states that much of the mileage
was of the highway variety which as we all know, is less strenuous
on a drivetrain. Meanwhile, Car and Driver was able to achieve a
0-60 time of 3.7 seconds in their 2014 test, tripping the quarter
mile clock at an astounding 12 seconds flat, (theirs was an
automatic).
Exterior
Beast mode activated! Outfitted in monochromatic Black Sapphire
Metallic, the front fascia is a series of ducts and intakes and
grilles, while the silver glow of the angry headlights provides the
only diversion from the darkness. And if you didn't notice the
gaping, gulping grin, surely you noted that subtle power bulge on
the hood letting you know this is not your mom's 428i. From the
side, you'll note the 19-inch wheels and 35 series tires fronting
some enormous discs and blue calipers. Then of course, there's the
fender vent demarcated with a tiny M4 emblem. But let's say you
missed all that as the car passed you. Ah, there it is. The quad
exhaust mounted mid-valance and the tell tale tri-colored M emblem
in front of a four. Now you know. And there's no catching up. But
it's the shape, the balance, and the muscle that helps create the
ultimate driving machine. Imperfections include rock chips on the
front and sides which would be consistent with highway driving, a
couple of chin scrapes, and a few random scratches.
Interior
Save the all black interiors for the commuter class. A sports car
of this caliber warrants and welcomes guts with a bit of orange,
Sakhir Orange to be specific, and that starts immediately on the
door panels where the armrest and insert wear the hue stitched to
perfection. Over to the bucket seats we go where it's clear these
are designed for sport and by sport, we mean fun. Deep and
supportive, the side bolstering is some of the best in the business
and the tall head restraint sits on wide shoulders, all in orange
leather. The rear 2+2 are less defined but just as attractive. Up
front, a meaty steering wheel is replete with nearby every embedded
control, allowing the pilot to keep his or her hands on the thick
wheel. Simple gauges fill an instrument panel that is tunneled and
shaded from sun glare, while carbon fiber accents the entire
dashboard under an orange stitched leather pad. A screen crowns the
center stack which houses the AM/FM/CD radio with navigation and
MP3, and the climate panel in sleek black buttons accented by
aluminum trim. Our shifter is in the center console and black
carpet is protected by WeatherTech mats. What can't be seen is the
K40 radar detector that was custom installed.
Drivetrain
Under the bulging hood is the 3.0 liter DOHC twin turbo inline 6
cranking out 425 horsepower and set into motion via a 6-speed
manual transmission sending the power the rear wheels and 3.46
gears. As noted, power disc brakes are found front and rear. We
find the engine back clean and also wearing some carbon fiber
additions.
Undercarriage
Conditions are clean and dry underneath and a good portion of it is
occupied by belly pans which smooth out passing air to assure it
won't be baffled on your way to 60 mph and beyond. The dual exhaust
is highlighted by an added Akrapovic system, infamous for their use
of titanium and finished with carbon fiber tips. Macpherson struts
make up the front suspension while multi-link shapes the rear
independent system.
Drive-Ability
A little bit of luxury and a lot of sport greets you as you melt
into the race formed seat and when the 3.0 liter comes to life, the
exhaust announces its energy force. This holds true under
acceleration, which of course is incredible, and doesn't stop
through turns or as this car tracks straight and true. If you enjoy
sweet exhaust tones, just being a passenger in this car will be
almost as fun as the left chair. Meanwhile, all functions onboard
work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
This is a special car that's been well cared for and presents very
well for a driver that is now ten years old. Something tells us
this design will look good ten years from now, despite BMW's
insistence on kidney grille growth, and you can't go wrong with
sinister black on an M4. It's fast, well balanced, and is also tame
enough to drive every day. If our history with M-cars is any
indication, this one won't be with us long. Pick this one up and
show the world your quad tips!
