CarGurus Analysis: 2016 BMW M4

Summary
With 212 currently listed for sale and an average price of $39,912, 33.5% of 2016 BMW M4s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 BMW M4 5 / 5 stars.
53.8% of 2016 M4 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2016 BMW M4 stands out as a compact high-performance coupe that blends everyday usability with serious speed. It uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six with 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, and BMW paired that engine with rear-wheel drive and either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission. The car also brings the kind of chassis hardware expected of an M model, including an Active M Differential, special M compound brakes, and available Adaptive M Suspension. Standard equipment was generous for the price, with leather upholstery, climate control, LED headlights, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
What makes the 2016 model especially distinctive is the way BMW sharpened it further that year. BMW added the M4 Competition Package as an option, bringing 20-inch alloy wheels, an additional 19 horsepower, uprated springs, dampers and anti-roll bars, black chrome tail pipes, and Shadow Line exterior trim details. That gives buyers a clear path to a more focused version without leaving the core M4 formula behind. The car’s two-door body styles, carbon-fiber roof on coupe versions, and pumped-up M Division bodywork also help it look and feel special.
At the same time, the 2016 BMW M4 is not without compromises. It is a high-end performance car, so running costs and purchase prices can be significant, and the convertible’s boot is small. Still, for buyers who want a fast, well-equipped, rear-drive sports car with strong handling and a manual transmission option, the 2016 M4 has a lot of appeal.

Very reliable, quick, and stylish. Gets a lot of attention, even from haters, which there are a few. With Xdrive and launch control it catapults from the intersection. Very quiet. Brakes are awesome from high speed (M package). The rear hatch allows for a ton of room. Highly recommend.

How much does the 2016 BMW M4 cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $39,730 |
| Year-Round Low | $39,730 |
| Year-Round High | $48,369 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $42,868 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −7.32% |
Prices have softened 7.32% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 211 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.
Is the 2016 BMW M4 a good car?
Yes — owners give it 5/5, which is a strong signal that it delivers on what shoppers want. The review summary repeatedly points to sharp handling, powerful performance, and stylish design, and it also highlights the manual transmission option as a standout feature. That lines up well with the model’s role as a compact high-performance coupe that still aims to work as an everyday car. With 32.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively while still finding attractive pricing.
Is the 2016 BMW M4 reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The review summary also emphasizes the manual transmission option for its reliability, along with the car’s strong performance and braking. That combination suggests you’re looking at a model that owners feel good about living with over time, especially when it has been maintained properly. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the car’s appeal and more about how hard it may have been driven and how well it was cared for.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 BMW M4?
At 54% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with accident records. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, with extra attention to the brakes, suspension, steering, and any signs of aftermarket modifications. Because this is a high-performance car, condition matters more than mileage alone, so focus on maintenance records and overall wear.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 BMW M4?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 211 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.32% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 54.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $39,730, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 BMW M4's resale value?
The current average of $39,730 sits slightly below last year's $42,868.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also mean slower appreciation if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key is to buy a well-kept example and avoid overpaying, because condition will matter a lot when it’s time to list it again. Strong demand for a performance coupe with a manual option can help support value, but the best resale outcomes usually come from clean history and careful ownership.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 BMW M4 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 54% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.32% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
If you want the strongest mix of value, owner satisfaction, and current market softness, the 2016 is the one to target first. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can also compare nearby years to see whether a cleaner or cheaper example better fits your budget, but the 2016 already gives you a compelling balance of performance appeal and market opportunity.
