The Best BMW M4 Ever? We Drive The 2020 BMW M4 Competition!

 


With two fewer doors and sleeker proportions, the 2020 BMW M4 is a sportier-looking alternative to the M3 sedan. Still, these German siblings have a lot in common, including heady performance numbers. Both feature a brilliant twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that is as refined as it is powerful, and their "M" designation means they're descendants of BMW's storied subdivision. Available as a coupe or convertible, the M4 is zestier than the regular 4-series. While its cornering grip and stopping power are as impressive as any, the two-door Bimmer doesn't reward its driver as much as its forebearers. Despite this shortcoming, the 2020 M4 has the pedigree and stats to attract enthusiasts.

The EPA has different estimates between the M4's two body styles and transmission. The coupe is rated up to 18 mpg city and 25 highway, while the thriftiest convertible gives up 1 mpg in the city. The M4 CS has a slightly lower estimate on the highway (23 mpg), but it's expected to earn 17 mpg city. We tested an M4 Competition coupe on our 200-mile fuel-economy route where it exceeded its government rating by 2 with a result of 27 mpg.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The M4 shares its interior with the decidedly less racy and far less expensive BMW 4-series. That means good build quality but a relatively uninspired design that looks particularly dour in all black. Luckily, BMW offers three two-tone interior options—Sonoma Beige, Silverstone, and Sakhir Orange—to spice things up a bit. The M4's sport seats are supportive and comfortable, and the driving position is perfect for spirited motoring. The rear seat is less spacious than the M3 sedan but can still fit two adults in a pinch; the trunk space is generous for a coupe and fits four carry-on suitcases.

Infotainment and Connectivity

All M4 models come with an 8.8-inch touchscreen that supports BMW's iDrive infotainment software. The system can also be operated via buttons on the steering, a rotary controller on the center console, and through voice commands. Other standard features include Apple CarPlay integration, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a 16-speaker 600-watt Harman/Kardon audio system. Although Android Auto capability isn't offered, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless phone charging are optional.

So should women worry about HPV? According to Trimble, the answer is no.   Women Don’t Need to Feel Ashamed About HPV “Anyone who’s ever had sex may have been exposed to HPV,” says Trimble, adding that she wishes she knew how to get rid of the unnecessary stigma associated with the disease. “Raising awareness can give you choices, and knowing you have choices is empowering.” Certain Types of HPV Are Linked with Cervical Disease While more than 100 types of HPV exist, only about a dozen of them are associate...
