CarGurus Analysis: 2021 BMW M4
overall

Summary
With 241 currently listed for sale and an average price of $64,329, 32.0% of 2021 BMW M4s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 BMW M4 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.5 / 10.
80.5% of 2021 M4 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 BMW M4 stands out as a performance car built for drivers who care as much about the experience as the destination. Its appeal starts with a powerful engine and the fact that a manual transmission is available, a combination that makes it especially attractive to enthusiasts who still want a more involved driving experience. The overall impression is simple: this is a car meant to be fun to drive.
That focus on performance comes with tradeoffs. The 2021 BMW M4 is described as having poor ride quality and poor fuel economy, so it is not the most comfortable or efficient choice for everyday use. It also has a cramped back seat, which limits its practicality. Even so, for buyers prioritizing driving enjoyment over comfort and space, those compromises may be acceptable.

Is the 2021 BMW M4 a good car?
Yes — with a 5/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating, this is a strong pick if you want a driver-focused performance coupe. The 2021 BMW M4 is built around a powerful engine and, in standard form, a manual transmission, which makes it especially appealing if you value engagement over convenience. The expert take also points to a car that is meant to be fun to drive, with the tradeoff that ride quality and fuel economy are not its strengths. The cramped back seat also limits everyday practicality.
The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.
The M4’s 34.0% good-or-great deal share suggests there are still worthwhile listings to find if you shop carefully.
Is the 2021 BMW M4 reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2021 BMW M4’s appeal is rooted in its performance-first design, and the expert evaluation reinforces that it delivers the kind of driving experience enthusiasts want. The twin-turbo inline-six is described as smooth and eager, and the car’s hardware is set up for serious driving with track-ready cooling, structural bracing, and performance-focused brakes and suspension. That said, the same performance focus also means you should expect a used example to have been driven hard.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is finding a car that has seen aggressive use without the maintenance history to match.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 BMW M4?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. A pre-purchase inspection matters here because this is a high-performance coupe that may have been driven hard. Pay close attention to wear items, signs of track use, and overall condition, especially if the car has been modified.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The standard M4 comes with a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, while the M4 Competition adds an eight-speed automatic and extra power. The manual car lacks several driver-assist features that require the Competition’s automatic transmission.
- Powertrain: The standard car uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Competition raises output to 503 hp and 479 lb-ft.
- Safety package: The Driving Assistance Professional Package on the Competition includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-centering assistance, evasive-steering assistance, active blind-spot protection, and extended traffic-jam assistant. The manual car lacks several of those features.
- Infotainment: Standard equipment includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite radio, navigation, connected services, and a Harman Kardon premium surround-sound audio system. The Executive Package adds a WiFi hotspot, wireless smartphone charging, gesture control, and a head-up display.
- Fuel efficiency: The car is described as having poor fuel economy, though the expert test loop returned 20.2 mpg and beat the official 19 mpg combined estimate.
Which 2021 BMW M4 trim should I buy?
The 2021 BMW M4 is offered in 2 trim levels: M4 and M4 Competition.
Here's the short version:
- M4: This is the one to choose if you want the manual transmission and the most involved driving experience. It pairs the twin-turbo inline-six with rear-wheel drive and keeps the car’s enthusiast character front and center.
- M4 Competition: This is the better pick if you want more power and the automatic transmission. It also unlocks the available driver-assistance package, so it suits you best if you want the quickest and most feature-rich version.
The manual-transmission M4 lacks several driver-assist features that are available on the Competition.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 BMW M4?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and move quickly on the right car.
- Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 241 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 1.47% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 80.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $63,460, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 BMW M4's resale value?
The current average of $64,365 sits slightly below last year's $65,326.
That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper short-term resale upside if you sell soon. For a future seller, the current trend implies you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than broad market appreciation. Well-kept examples should still draw interest because this model year has strong enthusiast appeal.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2021 BMW M4 safe?
The 2021 BMW M4 earns no published crash-test ratings from IIHS or NHTSA.
It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.
The standard safety equipment includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, speed-limit recognition, front and rear collision-preparation systems, and post-collision braking. If you choose the Competition, BMW offers the Driving Assistance Professional Package with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-centering assistance, evasive-steering assistance, active blind-spot protection, and extended traffic-jam assistant. The manual-transmission car lacks several of those driver-assist features.
Should I buy a 2021 BMW M4 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 1.47% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- It offers a manual transmission and a highly engaging, performance-first driving experience.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $69,580, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $64,365 average.
- It adds xDrive all-wheel drive on the Competition.
The bottom line: If you want the better value and the manual-transmission experience, the 2021 is the smarter buy. If you’re willing to pay more for added traction and newer-model-year upgrades, the 2022 is the stronger alternative. For most used-car shoppers, the 2021 is the better starting point unless you specifically want the 2022’s xDrive setup.
