2020 BMW M4 Edition M Heritage Honors The M Division

Only available in coupe form.

Spy shots show that BMW is busy preparing the next-generation 4 Series, and its M4 versions . However, this doesn’t mean that the Bavarians have given up on the current 4er. The M Heritage special edition, which is only available as a coupe (F82), celebrates all that the M GmbH stands up for and all that the division has done since 1972.

BMW will offer the M4 with a tricked out design in three of the most popular M colors. Buyers have the option to choose from Velvet Blue, Laguna Seca Blue, or Imola Red II. The sports coupe is available in any shade and comes with a carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), roof that’s adorned with an offset decorative stripe. BMW claims it will be applied to the composite material using a “special manufacturing procedure.”

The M Heritage model also features a 20-inch alloy wheel set with Orbit Gray finish. The forged wheels come with mixed performance tires that measure 265/30 R20 at each axle and 285/40 R20 back.

BMW states that the interior of the U.S.-spec cars will be matched to the exterior theme. For example, Silverstone/Black Leather with turquoise stitching on Laguna Seca Blue cars, Silverstone/Black Leather with blue contrast stitching on Velvet Blue cars, and Red/Black Leather with red contrast stitching reserved for M4s with Imola Red II exteriors. All cars will have full-Merino leather M Sport seats, fancy door sills with the “1/750” or “Edition M Heritage” logos.

This special edition is built on the M4 equipped in the Competition Package. The coupes have 444 horsepower and 406 pounds-feet (550 Newton meters) of torque thanks to a turbocharged 3.0-liter motor. The inline-six can be linked to a seven speed, dual-clutch automated transmission. This allows the coupe reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and then top out at electronically limited 155 mph (253 kph).

BMW engineers have refined the Adaptive-M Suspension to improve handling, thanks to new shocks and springs. The driving modes were also recalibrated, and the Active M Differential as well as the dynamic stability control system were tweaked.

The BMW M4 Edition M Heritage is limited to 750 units worldwide and will go into production in the latter half of 2012. Pricing will be revealed closer to the market launch.
