ABOUT THE 2017 BMW M4 COUPE
The 2017 BMW M4 Coupe is the two-door M car of the F82 generation in its third US model year. The standard car uses the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre S55 inline-six with 425 hp and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm), driving the rear wheels. This entry covers the version with the seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission; a six-speed manual remained available.
Where 2017 sits
2017 was the final year before the M4’s facelift, which arrived for 2018 with new full-LED lights and minor interior updates. From 2016 BMW also offered a Competition Package that raised output to 444 hp and added retuned suspension and a sport exhaust. The limited-run M4 GTS appeared in the same period as a track-focused special.
What it is like
The M4 is quick and precise, with strong torque from low revs and adjustable modes for steering, dampers and throttle. The dual-clutch gearbox shifts rapidly in sport settings, though owners often describe it as less smooth than a torque-converter automatic in slow traffic. The cabin seats four, the boot is usable for a performance coupe, and fuel economy is reasonable for the power.
Buying one today
Owners widely discuss the S55’s crank hub, and some fit an upgraded hub as a precaution, especially on tuned cars. Charge pipes can crack, particularly at higher boost. Check carefully for track use, aftermarket software and kerbed wheels, and confirm that servicing has been done on time.
Rivals
In 2017 the M4 faced the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe, Audi RS 5 and Cadillac ATS-V Coupe.
