How we verify BMW M4 performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same BMW M4 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

BMW M4 performance FAQs
6 questions
The quickest BMW M4 on record is the 2022 BMW M4 CarBahn CB3 Competition xDrive Coupe, which runs 0–60 mph in 2.6 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 10.60 seconds at 130.0 mph.
The slowest recorded BMW M4 is the 2021 BMW M4 Coupe, which takes 4.2 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 12.40 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 24 verified runs, a BMW M4 reaches 60 mph in 3.63 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 11.81 seconds at roughly 121.0 mph.
We have verified test data for 9 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a BMW M4 can do, not a single marketing claim.
