In the first video of the 2017 BMW M4 Facelift, BMW M focuses on the motorsports genes of the in-house midclass athletes. On the race track, we see the M4 Coupe, the M4 Convertible and the technically, the identical BMW M3 Sedan, in spectacular drifts and in smoke-rising tires.

The video also shows how deep the roots of the BMW M4 and M3 are anchored in the world of motorsport and how the technology transfers from the track onto the road.
With the model update, the BMW M4 Facelift is therefore primarily receiving new lighting technology, from which also the 4 Series variants have benefited as well. The adaptive full-LED headlights are used as standard in the sporty top models. LED technology also ensures a highly modern appearance and a fresh touch.
Besides this, a number of styling touches have been added to give the cabin of the sportiest BMW 4 Series variants an even more sophisticated air. And the two M4 models likewise feature the updated version of the Navigation system Professional and other ConnectedDrive features.
There are no modifications under the mudguards and engine bonnet. Even after the model refresh, the 3.0 liter six-cylinder S55 retains its standard 431 hp, only with the optional competition package is the power increased to 450 bhp. If you want even more performance, you have to be a bit more patient and wait for the rumored BMW M4 CS, which has been re-sharpened in every respect.
LOL, if you listen really carefully, you can hear the 2 seconds where they actually play the real sound of the F80/2. This car sounds so embarrassing they have to dub in their other great engines to cover up the disgusting farty mess they really sound like. A triumph of marketing spin.
One passed me on the street yesterday, you are wrong. Since when does an inline 6 of any kind sound bad?!
Since I test drove an F80 M3 at a track day. Inside, the fake exhaust noise sounded like a wannabe V8. Outside it was a one note, farty blare. This was a car with the M Performance exhaust! Compared to the M2 (which I eventually bought) and its spine tingling straight 6 howl, the F80 and F82 don’t even sound like straight 6 engines. Unlike internet fanboys, I refused to pay for, or excuse an M car that sounds like trash and put my money where my mouth is. It sounds terrible in real life and I’ve heard plenty of them as a passenger and driver. Just wait till the F80/2 are replaced. All of a sudden everyone will realise that oh, they never really sounded that good, but it’s ok, the new one fixes that.
Didn’t hear much of anything @ idle, more of a growl as it took off, don’t really know what a farty blare is (aside from my own, which fluctuates), or how any M can go thru its rev range on one note. I’ve never heard an M 4, 6, 8 or 10 that I didn’t like, so yes, fanboy. Since so many self-proclaimed fans hate change from the most innovative volume manufacturer, I predict you are wrong about the f80, instead they’ll mourn it while complaining about the new one, as has happened with the e90 (a V8 M3? Sacrilege!).
its just a video.. car sounds awesome in real life
Traded in my e93 convertible for a f80 m3. Spent in excess of 8k attempting to improve the sound of this car and failed miserably. Has the vf engineering hex tune with full fabspeed exhaust and it sounds horrid above 4000 rpm. Sound is commensurate with my civic si from college.
