2022 BMW M4 Competition xDrive Review / Perfection

[@jamesbondeson669]

I have a 2022 M4 manual, the same Isle of Man Green and Tartufo brown as this one except that mine has the full leather interior with the lower dash matching the seats, and the moonroof. I took delivery 4-1/2 months ago. I traded in a 2015 F82 M4, also a manual. My new car is a definite improvement from my 2015. The new S58 engine is a much better match to the 6-speed manual transmission, and I find that the car just has a lot better grip and feels more planted on the road. I love my interior which has a richer look and feel to my 2015 car. Two thumbs up!! : )

Front grills look great. My 23 has an Xdrive on left rear and has the 50th anniversary BMW emblems. Love the car. Pagan idolatry.

It only looks great if your worldview is hopelessly skewed. You probably believe bacteria morphed into humans over vast eons too, and call it "science"

Great review, you are natural 💯🤘🏻❤️

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Thank you! 😊

[@porscheguy5848]

Great review!

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Thanks!

[@doubledangerous7898]

Traded in my 2021 RS5 Sportback for an X Drive M4 comp, and the difference is absolutely shocking. Makes the Audi feel like a boring old man

[@fzr1000981]

Get an RS3

M4 is fast but it's a massive, sanitized boosted to the moon boat. Most drivers are middle aged with a gut and never been near a roadcourse. Suits angry azzholes well

[@fzr1000981]

Yes I can afford it just fine before that crap begins

[@SuperMask7]

Great review! Where did you shoot the intro shots?

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Thanks! It was at a local ski mountain next to Vancouver. Cypress Mountain.

[@SuperMask7]

@@MGReviewsBlog I saw that plate and got excited thinking it was in Ontario lol

[@MGReviewsBlog]

@@SuperMask7 ahhh, sadly no. A lot of the press cars here in BC are registered in Ontario. I'm assuming it's because that's where their Canadian offices are.

For your money, E53 amg coupe or this M4 competition xdrive?

[@MGReviewsBlog]

I'd be walking towards a BMW dealership with my money and getting this M4 Competition.

[@Foregrlz]

@MGReviewsBlog that's a HUGE statement.......and the fact that you had extensive time behind the wheel with each , I'm going to lean towards the bimmer .....thanks!!!

[@bmsnybmsny272]

Brake squeaking??

[@sandronavarra2033]

I thought the xdrive competition has 523hp?

[@MGReviewsBlog]

The 2025 Competition does, but this is an older model.

Debieran considerar traducción o relatos en español!!

[@ronintheamazon1492]

Why is it only Spanish speakers that complain about this? Learn English like everyone else

[@laurisa0318]

The grill is absolutely not fine. There must be an after market kit for this by now.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Haha, but it is! When you're driving the car, you can't see it lol. But yes, I'm sure there are some companies out there that have modified versions of this grille.

[@Gdesign959]

The front is fine until you put a front plate on it. It then looks ridiculous.

[@fzr1000981]

Green beaver beak...aftermarket rushing to fix. Very fast car but kind of sterile to drive from most I've talked to that have owned the car awhile. M2 is more interesting if you can get past funky rear end. RS3 for now

[@MGReviewsBlog]

I like the back end of the M2. It's the front that's too boxy for me 😅

[@alexanderreeveshamilton3577]

The new grills are absolutely hideous and will stop me upgrading my present 2018 m3 .I'm so sad but it's like a kardashion powt

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Haha, I know it's not to everyone's liking but I think it's good. not the best though, obviously. My favorite M3 grille is the e46 generation.

[@cartherapy2.0]

I agree, I sold my 2018 M4 and bought an X6. Hoping they redesign the front grille sooner than later. 😅

[@timharkins5887]

It’s polarizing - I like it. Aggressive and different.

[@jmpcali8739]

The green color? 👎👎👎

[@MGReviewsBlog]

It's not a colour I would personally order one in but it looks decent.
