Driver assistance systems include forward collision warning with braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and parking assistant with 360° cameras.
Exterior and Interior Styling
The M4 Coupe features a low-slung, aggressive body with large vertical kidney grilles, aerodynamic M bumpers, and quad exhaust tips. The Cabriolet offers the same styling with an electrically operated soft-top roof that opens or closes in around 18 seconds.
Both body styles are available with M-specific alloy wheels (19/20-inch) and BMW Individual paint finishes. Inside, the cabin is focused on the driver with M steering wheel, carbon fibre or aluminium trims, and illuminated M logos on seatbacks.
Comparisons with Similar Cars
In Pakistan, the BMW M4 Coupe competes with the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe and Audi RS5 Coupe. The C63 offers V8 power with aggressive styling, while the RS5 provides quattro AWD stability and a more understated design. For Cabriolet buyers, the M4 goes against the Mercedes-AMG C43 Cabriolet and Audi S5 Cabriolet. The AMG C43 offers strong performance with luxury touches, while the S5 Cabriolet focuses on balanced driving and everyday usability. However, BMW M4 still remains a versatile option in both Coupe and Cabriolet segments.
Maintenance and Resale Value in Pakistan
Maintenance costs are high due to CBU import status, with parts sourced from abroad. Regular servicing of the turbocharged inline-6 engine, brakes, and suspension is critical. Dewan Motors provides support for BMW models.
Resale is niche, as the M4 appeals mostly to enthusiasts, but exclusivity ensures continued demand among performance car buyers.
Conclusion
The BMW M4 offers the flexibility of both Coupe and Cabriolet models, combining M Division performance with advanced technology and luxury features. With its powerful inline-6 engine, sharp dynamics, and modern digital cockpit, it caters to enthusiasts who demand both speed and everyday usability.
High import prices and costly maintenance are challenges in Pakistan, but the M4 remains one of the most desirable high-performance cars available through CBU imports
