BMW’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter Twin-turbo makes all the right sounds.
If you have been waiting for the new BMW models, this week was a great one. The 2021 and 2021 M3 arrived with detailed information about all features, specifications, and options. The reveal did not include a sample of the exhaust note. A new video on the WorldSupercars YouTube channel gives us a satisfying answer.
The video below captures the essence of the 2021 BMW M4 The engine plays a series of explosions, starting, revving, and idling. BMW’s 3.0-liter inline-6 engine, twin-turbocharged, powers the M4 Competition. It produces 503 horsepower (375 Kilowatts) as well as 479 pound-feet (475 Newton-meters). BMW’s 8-speed automatic is the only available gearbox. After the car goes on sale next spring, all-wheel drive will become an option. It’ll be identical to the BMW M5, which has rear-wheel bias.
The M4’s exhaust sounds are pleasant and stern, but not too loud. It is a good match for the car’s performance capabilities. In 3.8 seconds, the coupe can reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in 60 minutes. The coupe’s top speed is 155 mph (253 kph), but the M Driver package increases that to 180 mph (390 kph). The M4 Competition has staggered wheels, with 19-inch wheels at the front and 20 at the back.
Even though the M4’s powertrain is a major draw, it’s much more than that. The M4’s interior will include the 10.3-inch infotainment display and the 12.3-inch digital cluster for the instrument cluster, which are available on other new 4 Series models. The cluster will have M-specific graphics, while the infotainment system will use the latest iDrive 7.0 operating systems. Next spring will see the arrival of the BMW M4 Competition and M4 Competition. The M4 Comp starts at $74,700. The regular M4 costs $2,900 less.
