Yes, it does.

The M440i may not be a full-fat M model but it still has many things going for it. You’ll find the same inline-six engine found in its larger brother, but with one turbo and significantly less power. 369 horsepower (382 HP in the US) is not something to be sniffed at. We could also say that torque is at 500 Newton-meters (369 pounds-feet).

New video from AutoTopNLThese output numbers are indicative of the real-life performance. At least, when it comes down to acceleration in a straight line. The 4 Series Coupe’s new M Performance version was tested on a section of Germany’s Autobahn. This video was made without violating any speed laws.\

BMW might claim that the new M440i coupe can go from 0 to 60 mph (100 km/h), but it looks faster. This is not surprising considering German automakers are notorious for being overly cautious with performance numbers, and often claim their cars are faster than they really are. The electronic top speed limiter was activated quickly by the 4 Series Coupe, M Performance.

The M440i’s electronically controlled speed is listed at 155 mph (250 km/h), but the digital speedometer shows that the car can actually do 162 mph (261 km/h). How is this possible? Modern speedometers display a slightly higher speed than the actual speedometer, especially when the car is traveling at higher speeds.

This setting is an automaker’s way to make sure that the vehicle never reads below its actual speed. This setting is necessary to ensure that the speedometer does not underestimate the vehicle’s true speed even after it has changed the tire diameter and wheel diameter. It’s simply a margin for error that allows car manufacturers to be safe and not display the vehicle’s actual speed below the true one.

Although the sound isn’t bad, we must warn you that it is artificially enhanced when your M440ixDrive is set to Sport mode. The sound is also channeled through the speakers, rather than being generated by the engine’s 3.0-liter displacement. BMW claims it “provides authentic reproduction” of the engine sound, but it is still not the exact thing.
