How much does the 2022 BMW M4 cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 267 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $67,138.36, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 BMW M4 a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating and 7.67/10 expert rating point to a strong overall package. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

The M4 is aimed at you if you want a focused performance car that feels rewarding behind the wheel, and the data backs that up with a nearly perfect driving score. It also brings impressive technology and free scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, which helps offset some ownership cost. The trade-offs are a potentially polarizing design and poor fuel economy.

30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 BMW M4 reliable?

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

The M4 is described as a performance car that still brings impressive technology, and BMW backs it with free scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles. Its performance hardware is substantial, and the expert evaluation notes that the car delivers a nearly perfect blend of power and handling. That said, luxury sports cars can become expensive to maintain once warranty coverage ends, so long-term ownership risk rises if you plan to keep it past the early years.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 BMW M4?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any car you’re considering, even if it appears clean on paper. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the brakes, tires, suspension, and electronics, since this is a high-performance car with expensive components. Focus on overall condition and maintenance records, especially if the car has been driven hard or modified.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is well executed and luxurious, but the design is polarizing and the base model leaves some desirable tech and safety equipment optional.
• Powertrain: The standard twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six makes 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, while the Competition version makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque; xDrive adds traction but slightly lowers efficiency.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control, park distance control, automatic high-beam headlights, Active Protection, and Active Driving Assistant; more advanced driver aids are optional.
• Infotainment: BMW Live Cockpit Professional uses iDrive 7, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and voice, touchscreen, and rotary-controller inputs.
• Fuel efficiency: The M4 and M4 Competition are rated at 19 mpg combined, while xDrive-equipped versions are rated at 18 combined mpg.

Which 2022 BMW M4 trim should I buy?

The 2022 BMW M4 is offered in 3 trim levels: M4, M4 Competition, M4 Competition xDrive.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The M4 gives you the core performance experience, but some safety tech remains optional and the standard setup is less complete than the higher trims.
• Sweet-spot trim: The M4 Competition is the best balance if you want more power without stepping all the way up to xDrive.
• Premium/top trim: The M4 Competition xDrive is the most compelling choice if you want the quickest acceleration and the best traction in daily driving.

The safety package is broad, but BMW notes that many features are optional on the base model.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 BMW M4?

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 267 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $67,138.36, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 BMW M4's resale value?

The current average of $70,298 sits slightly above last year's $69,727.

That kind of stability suggests the market has been willing to support this model year without a sharp drop in value. For a future seller, that can be a positive sign because it points to steady demand rather than a weakening price environment. The M4’s strong enthusiast appeal should help it remain desirable if it’s well maintained and presented cleanly.

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 2022 BMW M4 safe?

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

The M4 comes standard with adaptive cruise control, park distance control, automatic high-beam headlights, an Active Protection package that includes automatic front seat belt tensioning, automatic closing of windows and moonroof, fatigue and focus alert, and post-collision braking, plus an Active Driving Assistant package with lane-departure warning, speed-limit recognition, active blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear-collision preparation.

BMW also offers optional adaptive cruise with stop-and-go capability, front cross-traffic alert, extended traffic jam assist, lane-keeping assistance, evasive-steering assistance, parking assistance, and automatic emergency braking with full-stop capability. The main caveat is that many of these features are optional on the base model, and BMW does not offer pedestrian detection.

Should I buy a 2022 BMW M4 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The top-spec M4 Competition xDrive is newly available, adding all-wheel-drive traction and quicker acceleration.

Consider the 2021 if:

• It offers a manual transmission and a more driver-focused setup.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $73,807, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $70,298 average.
• It adds the limited-production M4 CSL for buyers who want something rarer and more extreme.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around choice if you want the strongest mix of performance, technology, and market stability. If you’re more price-sensitive, the 2021 can still appeal for its manual-transmission character, while the 2023 makes sense if you want the newer special-edition angle and are willing to pay more.
