Description
The BMW M4 is a high-performance version of the BMW 4 Series coupes and convertibles developed by BMW’s motorsport division, BMW M, and marketed since 2014.
As part of the renumbering that splits the 3 Series coup? and convertible models into the 4 Series (to further differentiate these from the 3 Series), the M4 replaced the BMW M3 coup? and convertible models. Upgrades over the standard BMW 4 Series include an upgraded engine, suspension, exhaust system, brakes and weight reduction measures including increased use of carbon fibre, such as on the roof of the car.
The BMW M4 GT4 is a competition version of the road car, sharing the 3.0 L turbocharged straight-six engine and 7-speed dual clutch transmission. Reuse of these elements of the road car, and of shared electronics systems including the TCS, are aimed at cost, maintenance, and driveability, with further race engineering reused from the GT3 version. Chassis are homologated under the SRO GT4 category, aimed at amateur drivers, with the engine trimmed to 317 kW (431 PS; 425 hp) in line with the Balance of Performance regulations. The car debuted at the 2017 24 Hours of N?rburgring.
