2022 BMW M4 Competition xDrive: Bavarian cruise missile

This all-wheel-drive coupe is by far the most capable member of the M4 family, and it's also the most expensive.

Craig Cole
Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

Yep, this car still has a huge schnoz.

Aside from that gaping grille, the M4 is a pretty handsome coupe.

This car's interior is nicely built and surprisingly roomy.

There's more headroom and legroom in the backseat than you'd probably expect.

The $3,800 M carbon bucket seat options package includes unique front chairs with hard carbon fiber on their backs. This is less than ideal for passengers.

A turbocharged 3.0-liter I6 provides the firepower, 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque.

There's a surprising amount of surfacing on the M4's front end.

iDrive 7 is super-responsive, but it's not the easiest infotainment system to use.
