HIGHLIGHTS
- Thrilling performance
- Superb aesthetics
- Excellent maintenance portfolio
THE APPEAL
BMWs restructuring of its models back in 2014 birthed a new name, a new series and with it a new ‘M’ car. The 4 Series was introduced and at the top, the fierce and fanatical M4. As is the way with M cars, outstanding performance and striking aesthetics intertwine sensationally. Power, poise and lavish luxury are taken to new heights with the aim of showcasing the Bavarian brand's abilities. With performance being at the forefront of the design, a purpose-built S55 twin-turbocharged, three-litre inline-six was installed, bringing with it 431hp and 550nm torque. Paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-Speed M-DCT Automatic, the car reaches 62mph in just over 4 seconds. Advanced technology such as BMW's Active M differential and suspension are also equipped meaning allowing for a dynamic, agile driving experience plus configurable comfort settings.
This first-generation 2014 M4 Cabriolet is presented excellently, with a well-documented maintenance portfolio. It features a superb colour scheme, Black Sapphire metallic and Black Merino Leather plus a seductive interior, including carbon-fibre trim and Harmon-Kardon Sound-system.

THE INTERIOR
- Excellent interior
- Black Merino Leather
- Heads-up display
- Carbon fibre trim
Lavish, sporty luxury awaits the driver on this M4. Superbly specified, with the Black Merino leather seats and carbon fibre trim partnering perfectly. It's a mature, intelligent environment, with subtle M car hints such as red and blue stitching on the steering wheel and M4 digital emblem on the instrument cluster. The ergonomics are very driver-focused, with all the switches, buttons and gauges conveniently accessible to the driver, a concept influenced by motor racing, where control over the vehicle is priority. The condition of the interior is excellent, with only the smallest signs of wear visible. The Sports seats are supportive and hugging, a splendour to sit in, the leather is great, with only small creases visible, as are
the rear seats which look very much unused. There are some small blemishes located on the rear speakers and lower trim, but not entirely noticeable.
THE EXTERIOR
- Aggressive, impactful styling
- Good paintwork with some minor blemishes
- Alloys wheels would benefit from refurbishment
Aggressive contours meet elegant styling, beautifully combining to produce a sensational-looking car. Top-up or down, the M4 is a gorgeous sight, especially in the Black-Sapphire metallic, which looks polished and rich. The appearance of the M4 while impactful isn’t radical, it's mature, and tasteful while still being athletic in nature, helped by styling additions such as the rear diffuser, bonnet power dome and side M Gills. The overall condition of the exterior is very good, with some small blemishes present.
There's a small car park ding to the passenger side, a couple of small scratches to the rear spoiler, plus a small scuff to the rear bumper. In addition, there is a small chip in the windscreen that has been repaired but is noticeable. The 19’’ M Double Spoke alloy wheels sit in front of blue callipers and large M compound disc brakes and suit the car well, they would however benefit from a refurbishment. The added cabriolet element brings an enjoyable dynamic, allowing those bellowing notes from the rear quad to fill the space around you. The hard roof folds away quickly, seamlessly at a push of a button, with no clunky mechanisms or embarrassing noises, efficient and sharpish ideal for when the heavens open
THE MECHANICS
- S55 3.0L Twin-turbo inline-6
- 7-Speed Automatic dual-clutch M-DCT Transmission
- Rear-wheel drive
- Beautiful exhaust note
Performance is the very essence of an M car and the M4 is a magnificent advertisement of that. The S55 3.0L engine is nothing short of impressive, providing occupants with a thrilling, teeth-gritting experience. The dual-clutch gearbox flicks through the gears smoothly, allowing for a quick climb in speed if required or a gentle, easy operation for those more normal casual drives. The car's Adaptive M Suspension allows the driver to choose between three driving modes, comfort, sport and sport+, each mode electronically adjusting the stiffness and driving dynamics. The driving experience the M4 provides is exceptional, just as it should be, kept in good operational health with regular services and maintenance. Some recent work includes

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
