BMW M4 Competition finally gets a review on Indian roads
The G82 generation of the BMW M4 has been a familiar sight globally since 2020 and made its way to Indian shores back in 2022. It even received its Life Cycle Impulse facelift a few years ago to keep the package fresh for buyers. Despite this extensive run, comprehensive drive reviews of the BMW M4 Competition on our home tarmac have been surprisingly scarce until very recently.
BMW M4 Competition driving impressions
Getting behind the wheel of this performance coupe on familiar roads offers a very different perspective compared to smooth international race tracks. Published road tests show how the stiff suspension setup and aggressive power delivery translate to our less than perfect driving conditions. The inline six cylinder engine delivers relentless acceleration and a brilliant soundtrack, pulling hard all the way to the redline. However, prospective owners will constantly need to be mindful of the low ground clearance when navigating over larger speed breakers and steep driveway ramps.
What buyers should look out for
For anyone considering adding this high performance coupe to their garage right now, living with it on a daily basis does require some compromise. The low seating position and undeniably firm ride quality are natural trade offs for the exceptional handling and grip you get on open stretches of highway. Other drive reviews note that while the steering is sharp and precise, the car feels quite wide on narrow city streets, making parking maneuvers a bit more stressful than in a standard luxury sedan.
Key highlights of the BMW M4 Competition
While the controversial front grille design still draws mixed opinions from enthusiasts, the underlying engineering remains undeniably focused on outright driving dynamics. There is plenty to appreciate once you look past the polarising exterior styling and focus on the mechanical hardware.
- Powerful twin turbocharged inline six engine
- Quick shifting automatic transmission for rapid acceleration
- Rear biased all wheel drive system for confident traction
- Distinctive styling that guarantees immense road presence
- Driver focused cabin layout with heavily bolstered seats
Will the sheer performance make you overlook its firm ride?
