In-game description[]
- Note: The in-game description in Gran Turismo 6 is viewable only if the game version is 1.03 or higher. In version 1.02 or lower, the car description is simply a "Coming Soon".
"0-100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds. The latest model of the legendary M series."
In the summer of 2013, BMW separated the 3 series coupe and cabriolet model into a new lineup called the 4 series. In responsive to this, the BMW M3 Coupé that was the high performance model of the 3 series was born as the BMW M4 Coupé.
The new BMW M4 Coupé is "an athlete in a perfect suit": combining the virtues of a high revving naturally aspirated engine with the strengths of turbocharger technology. The new BMW M4 Coupé is a perfect balance of agility, dynamism and power. An all-embracing lightweight design concept keeps the car's weight to just 1,497 kg (DIN), setting new standard in its class.
The combination of the active M differential, the adaptive M suspension, and the M specific DSC ensures the perfect handling of the car and delivers the ultimate performance driving experience.
The large air inlets in the front, a fluid design of its profile, and the racing inspired low rear are clear indications of the car's tremendous dynamic potential. The typical BMW proportions - a long hood, long wheelbase, set-back greenhouse and a short front overhang - create an exceptionally dynamic appearance even when the car is at a standstill.
The flowing roofline with the contoured carbon fiber roof gives the car both a strong dynamic expression and an elegance finesse. The characteristic M gill incorporates the Air Breather, which together with the Air Curtain within the front apron serves to ventilate the wheel arches and facilitate better airflow values.
The powerfully shaped front apron with three large air intakes supplies the high performance power unit with sufficient cooling air. Faceted surfaces, precise contours and distinctive visual depth shape the powerfully expressive front end of the BMW M4 Coupé hungry for speed and waiting to conquer the pavement.
Café (GT7)[]
Tom Matano[]
I have a soft spot for the M3. In fact, back when we were starting development on the E36 Series... I was also working on the E30 M3. Today, the 3 Series coupé is known as the '4 Series', and the M3 has become the 'M4'. But I still prefer the M3. It was the most purposefully-built BMW... Possessing the true spirit of the M-performance package. It has the right amount of details, too, like the front air intakes that cool the brakes... And the side air vents with the 'M' accent. It has a sporty elegance, the kind you'd expect from an athlete in a designer sports jacket.

Trivia[]
- In Gran Turismo 6, the car originally had a simple interior view. A detailed interior was later added in Update 1.03. It also lacked tuning options, which were later added in Update 1.14.
- When GT6 version 1.05, which added the Frozen Black Metallic variant intended as participation prize for the BMW Z4 Challenge Seasonal Event, was first released, it was possible to interrupt the installation of a subsequent hotfix that removed the car from dealerships in order to purchase the car, before continuing with the installation of the hotfix. It is still possible to obtain the car that way, however the update installation process must be suspended prior to installation of the succeeding 1.06, which has the hotfix integrated, as the hotfix by itself is no longer available.[1]
- The Frozen Black Metallic variant also cannot be repainted, nor its paint chip be acquired for use on any other car.
