Used BMW M4 for sale in Europe

About the BMW M4

The BMW M4 is the high-performance two-door model in the 4 Series family, developed by BMW M. It arrived in 2014 as the coupé successor to the M3 coupé, while the M3 name moved to the saloon. Rear-wheel drive is the base layout. The second generation also offers all-wheel drive.

Both generations use a twin-turbo 3.0-litre petrol straight-six. Buyers can choose a manual gearbox or an automatic. The first generation used a dual-clutch automatic. The second uses a conventional torque-converter automatic. Coupé is the main body style, and convertibles were also built.

Our listings cover model years 2014 to 2026, from early cars to nearly new ones. The model suits drivers who want a fast coupé that still works for daily use. Specification, mileage and use history vary widely, so compare each car on its own records.

Generations

• F82/F83 (2014-2020) — The first M4 used the turbocharged 3.0-litre S55 petrol engine, with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, in coupé (F82) and convertible (F83) form.
• G82/G83 (2020-present) — The second generation moved to the S58 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol engine, a larger kidney grille and an eight-speed automatic, with a manual and an all-wheel-drive option in the range.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings rise fairly steadily with newer model years. The median for 2014 cars is €43,900, and for 2020 cars it is €56,900. There is a clear step at 2021, where the median is €68,000, which coincides with the arrival of second-generation cars. The median for 2026 cars is €88,800. Within any one year, the spread is wide because of the variant (base, Competition or special editions), options, mileage and condition. Compare similar cars rather than relying on the year alone.

What to check when buying a used BMW M4

Ask for the full service history and look at the car in daylight. A pre-purchase inspection by a specialist who knows BMW M cars is worth arranging for any example.

• Tuning and crank hub · F82/F83 with S55 engine

  Owners widely discuss crankshaft hub concerns on S55 engines that have been remapped or tuned. Ask whether the car has been modified, and ask for invoices for any engine work or software changes.

• Dual-clutch gearbox behaviour · F82/F83 with dual-clutch gearbox

  On a test drive, check pulling away, low-speed manoeuvring and gear changes under light and hard throttle. Look for hesitation, jerks or warning lights. Ask when the gearbox fluid was last serviced.

• Signs of track use

  Many M cars see circuit days. Check tyre wear patterns, brake disc condition, fluid leaks and underbody scrapes. Ask directly about track use, since it affects wear on brakes, tyres, suspension and engine oil.

• Engine oil and servicing

  High-output turbo engines depend on regular oil changes with the correct specification. Check the invoices for dates and mileage. Look for oil leaks and listen for unusual noises from a cold start.

• Carbon parts and body repairs

  Many M4s have carbon-fibre roofs or bonnets. Check for cracks, lacquer damage and uneven panel gaps that suggest accident repair. Inspect the alloy wheels for kerb damage and check the tyres are matched.

• Software and driver aids · G82/G83

  Newer cars rely heavily on electronics. Test the screens, cameras, parking sensors and driver assistance functions. Ask whether any open recalls and software updates have been completed, and check the paperwork.

• Check the fuel type

  The M4 is sold with a petrol engine. If a listing shows another fuel type, compare it with the registration document and the car's specification before going further.
