How much does the 2021 BMW M4 cost?

Prices have softened 1.66% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 233 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2021 BMW M4 a good car?

Yes — the 2021 BMW M4 earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

The M4 is built for drivers who care as much about the experience as the destination, and its powerful engine plus available manual transmission make it especially appealing if you want a more involved drive. The trade-offs are clear: poor ride quality, poor fuel economy, and a cramped back seat.

For you, that means the M4 makes the most sense if driving enjoyment matters more than everyday comfort or rear-seat space. The market also shows 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2021 BMW M4 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The M4’s overall setup points to a car that’s engineered for hard use, with track-ready cooling systems, structural bracing, and performance-focused hardware. Its twin-turbo inline-six is described as smooth and eager, and the manual gearbox is praised for its positive engagement.

BMW also includes front and rear collision-preparation systems and a post-collision braking system, which add some peace of mind. If you’re buying used, the main long-term risk is that a performance coupe like this may have been driven hard, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 BMW M4?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on the brakes, suspension, steering, and any signs of aftermarket modification. Because this is a performance car, condition matters more than mileage alone, and you’ll want to confirm that the car has been maintained consistently.

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-transmission 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 M4 Competition raises output to 503 hp and 479 lb-ft.
• Safety package: The Driving Assistance Professional Package on the M4 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 technology. The manual-transmission car lacks several of these 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 M4 achieved 20.2 mpg on the testing loop, exceeding the official EPA estimate of 19 mpg in combined driving.

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 buy if you want the manual transmission and the most involved driving experience. It comes with the twin-turbo inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and the standard performance hardware, and it’s the better fit if you value engagement over outright speed.
• M4 Competition: This trim adds extra power and the eight-speed automatic, and it’s the better choice if you want the quickest version and access to the available driver-assistance package. It suits you best if you want maximum performance with more convenience.

The manual-transmission M4 lacks several driver-assist features that require the Competition’s automatic transmission.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 BMW M4?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 233 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.66% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 80.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $63,471, 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 $64,204 sits slightly below last year's $65,285.

That softer pricing suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you as a buyer but may temper what a future seller can ask. The current range also shows the model is trading in a fairly tight band, which usually points to steady demand rather than dramatic swings.

If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you should have a better shot at holding value than if you overpay or skip maintenance. 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 does not have crash-test ratings available from IIHS or NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

The M4 Competition offers the Driving Assistance Professional Package, which includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-centering assistance, evasive-steering assistance, active blind-spot protection, and extended traffic-jam assistant technology. On the standard manual-transmission car, several of those driver-assist features are not available.

The standard M4 still includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, speed-limit recognition, front and rear collision-preparation systems, and a post-collision braking system. The main caveat is that the manual-transmission version gives up some of the more advanced assistance 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:

• 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.66% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It’s the last year before xDrive and a convertible join the lineup, which keeps this version focused on the manual, rear-drive enthusiast formula.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $69,864, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $64,204 average.
• It adds xDrive all-wheel drive on the top-spec Competition, which helps drivers fully use the torque.

The bottom line: If you want the more focused enthusiast version and a lower average price, the 2021 is the better buy. If you’re willing to spend more for added traction and a broader lineup, the 2022 is the stronger alternative. For price-sensitive shoppers, the 2021 gives you the core M4 experience without the higher entry cost of the next year.
