How much does the 2023 BMW M4 cost?

Prices have softened 2.77% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 363 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $71,568.82, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 BMW M4 a good car?

Yes — the 2023 BMW M4 earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Technology.

It stands out as a performance-focused coupe and convertible with strong handling, a manual transmission option, and a motorsport-backed identity. The 2023 update adds the M4 CSL, a lighter, more powerful limited edition that pushes the platform harder for enthusiasts who want the most focused version.

The trade-offs are clear: the design can be polarizing, and fuel economy is poor. The CSL also narrows everyday usability, so you should think carefully about whether you want the rarest, most extreme version or a more balanced M4.

Good and great deals account for 30.6% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 BMW M4 reliable?

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

The M4’s appeal is reinforced by its performance-first engineering and BMW’s attention to detail, and the expert evaluation describes it as having an unflappable character. That said, it is still a high-performance BMW with a complex powertrain and premium hardware, so upkeep can be more demanding than on a mainstream used car.

The twin-turbo six-cylinder is presented as a more efficient alternative to the V8 in the previous M3, but the car still prioritizes speed and capability over thrift. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that performance-focused components and premium maintenance needs can make repairs and running costs more expensive over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 BMW M4?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.1% — 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 the M4 is a high-performance model with specialized hardware, and you’ll want to confirm that the car has been maintained properly. Pay close attention to wear items, cosmetic condition, and whether the car’s equipment matches the trim and options advertised.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard M4 emphasizes the core performance formula, while the CSL adds a more extreme setup with lighter construction, fixed-height carbon-fiber front seats, and rear-seat deletion. If you want the best balance of usability and performance, the standard M4 is the safer bet.
• Powertrain: The standard model uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six with 473 horsepower and a six-speed manual, while Competition versions increase output to 503 horsepower and use an eight-speed automatic. The CSL raises output further to 543 horsepower and uses the automatic with rear-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist are part of the Driving Assistance Professional Package on M4 Competition models.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a head-up display, and BMW iDrive 7.0.
• Fuel efficiency: The rear-wheel-drive M4 coupe and M4 Competition coupe are rated at 19 mpg combined, while the AWD-only M4 Competition convertible and rear-wheel-drive M4 CSL are rated at 18 mpg combined. The optional xDrive system lowers the Competition coupe’s combined and highway ratings by 1 mpg.

Which 2023 BMW M4 trim should I buy?

The 2023 BMW M4 is offered in 4 trim levels: M4 coupe, M4 Competition coupe, M4 Competition xDrive coupe, M4 Competition convertible.

Here's the short version:

• M4 coupe: This is the one to choose if you want the manual transmission and the purest version of the M4 formula. It gives you the core performance experience without stepping into the pricier Competition models.
• M4 Competition coupe: This is the best-value trim if you want more power and quicker acceleration without moving into AWD or the convertible body style. It adds the stronger engine and automatic transmission while keeping the car relatively focused.
• M4 Competition xDrive coupe: Choose this if you want the quickest all-weather-friendly version of the regular lineup. It trades some efficiency for added traction and stronger straight-line performance.
• M4 Competition convertible: Pick this if open-air driving matters most to you. It keeps the Competition powertrain but adds the convertible body style, which makes it the most lifestyle-oriented choice.

The standard safety equipment is solid, but adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist require the Driving Assistance Professional Package on M4 Competition models.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 BMW M4?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 363 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.77% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $71,568.82, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 BMW M4's resale value?

The current average of $73,417 sits slightly below last year's $75,506.

That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means resale value will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car is equipped and maintained. Rare or especially desirable versions may hold attention better, but the broader market is still sensitive to price and specification.

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 2023 BMW M4 safe?

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

BMW equips the M4 with standard lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist are part of the Driving Assistance Professional Package on M4 Competition models, so you may need to step up in trim or options if you want a fuller driver-assistance suite.

The main caveat is that the M4 does not have published crash test ratings from IIHS or NHTSA for this model year, so you’re relying on equipment content and expert evaluation rather than formal test results.

Should I buy a 2023 BMW M4 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.77% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model year adds the rare M4 CSL, a lighter and more powerful limited edition.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $70,051, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $73,417 average.
• It emphasizes an engaging driver’s-car character with strong power and handling.

The bottom line: If you want the newest version with the CSL addition and a slightly softer market, the 2023 is the better target. If your priority is saving money and you’re happy with the core M4 experience, the 2022 is the smarter value play.
