there was a time when BMW only offered three different series of cars the
three series 5 Series and the 7 Series now in 2017 every number is covered from
1 to 7 with even numbers being coupes and odd numbers being sedans in this video
I'll be giving you a tour of the BMW m4 and I'll also be comparing it to its
sister car the m3 the specifications of both cars
are almost identical the most notable difference is that the m4 is a coupe and
the m3 is a sedan and also the m3 is a little bit cheaper
both the m3 and the m4 are powered by a three litre twin-turbocharged s55b30
ln line 6 engine which produces 425 horsepower and 410 pound feet of torque a lot of em
purists are disappointed that BMW went with a forced induction i6 rather than
another v8 but the engine has a pretty nice little party trick up its sleeve to
minimize turbo lag the engine has two small turbochargers each feeding three
cylinders the RPM of the impellers is always kept above 120 thousand rpm to
minimize lag the anti lag system is only activated in Sport Plus engine mode
this is done by managing the air flow and injecting a bit of fuel it makes one
wonder though how this affects the longevity of the turbos when they're
spinning at over 100,000 rpm the car has a pretty efficient cooling system aside
from the main radiator it also has auxilary radiators for cooling the
turbos and the transmission the system is powered by an electric water pump
here's a graph comparing m3s from various generations as you can see the
horsepower increase is relatively marginal compared to the previous
generation's v8 but the torque increase and the decrease in emissions are very
significant fuel efficiency has also been increased by up to 25% owners of
the e46 m3 would know that the rear subframe is one of the weaker points in
the car the m3 and the M4's subframe is solidly mounted to the monocoque chassis
for more stiffness the m4's weight is at three
thousand five hundred sixty-five pounds for the manual and three thousand six
hundred thirty pounds for the dual clutch curiously the m3 and m4 are only
slightly heavier than the much smaller m2 zero to sixty can be achieved in four point
one seconds fuel consumption is at seventy miles per gallon or 7.2
kilometers per litre city and twenty five miles per gallon or ten point six
kilometers per liter highway the car comes with 19-inch alloys and carbon
ceramic brakes the carbon ceramic brakes are an option the car also has a carbon
propeller shaft which is standard for both the m3 and m4 where the cars mostly
differ are in their looks and also in their practicality being a coupe the m4 has a
sleeker roofline the track width of the m3 m4 are the same but because of how
the rear quarter panel of the m3 is designed the m3 actually looks like
it is slightly wider at the back the fender flares look like they protrude a
little bit more anyway let me show you around the interior of the car okay this
is the M4'sinterior it's a middle ground between the five series and the
two series in terms of interior space the backseat is actually usable compared
to the m2 you have bucket seats plenty of bolstering side bolstering you have
carbon-fiber accents on the dashboard as well as the transmission tunnel you have an
automatic transmission with paddle shifters
In terms of storage you have limited storage in this car The difference between the m2 and m4
here if you see these buttons you can change the setting for example you want to
change setting for the suspension there's a button here There's options like sport comfort. stiffness or just the ride height
just the stiffness also the steering if you want comfort or sports put it in
sport steering is a bit sharper then also the engine here engine you can choose
between sport and comfort so if you put it in sport it's more aggressive throttle response is more sensitive
there's a separate button for shifting there's a button near the gear shift you have 3 settings the 3rd is the highest
The fastest gear change even the gear shiftings you can customize it upon this
setting for the engines the suspension you can actually save your own setting for
example you can see these two buttons here m1 and m2 so you can actually set
preselect your preferences for example on weekdays you want to be all
just comfort setting and then on weekends you can customize m2 and then
choose the setting if you want to change from comfort or sport regardless for example you want
sporty engine response but suspension is
comfort and then the steering is fourth and then the gear change you can set it to
let's say... there's 3 levels you can choose the first level of the transmission
you can save it so technically it's like a personal setting
You can customize all the settings from the transmission down to the steering wheel
of the m4 and m3
and then the seats the m2 it comes with dakota leather interior
this one it comes with a... you can feel it's more refined it's nappa leather
it's a much higher grade of leather for the m4 and m3
it also comes with a Harman Kardon sound system You can use your palm for for entering a
destination
you can see the list of information for Ayala
gas station, villages,MRT stations some shops also. How much does it cost. cost is around 8.88 million pesos
this one is the standard M4 we also have the m4 competitiont m4 GTS and the M4 DTM
The difference between the 4, this one is the standard it comes with 431 horses
the m4 competition is 450 and the m4 GTS, which is the track version of this car
is 500 horsepower and then the limited edition which is the DTM edition M4 is also 500 horsepower but
this one is limited only to 200 units wolrdwide
compared to the previous generation m3 the current generation m3 and m4 look a
lot angrier and it's the most aggressive looking car in the series the M3 and
m4 follow the current trend in performance cars smaller forced
induction engines and better fuel economy the in line 6 although not as
responsive as the naturally aspirated v8 actually produces more power and it's
lighter and also it's significantly more fuel
efficient due to BMWs anti lag system it doesn't suffer so much from turbo lag
what people will miss mostly from the v8 is the sound. The in line 6 just doesn't sound
as good the natural competitor of the m4 is the AMG c63 in terms of looks the
m4 looks more aggressive while the current generation c63 looks more
elegant the c63 has the advantage when it comes to horsepower torque and
acceleration the c63 though has a bigger engine it's also heavier and it's less
fuel efficient not that that matters in a performance car though at the track
the m4 and the c63 are more or less evenly matched when making a choice it
will boil down to which band you prefer
