The 2020 BMW M4: The Car That Makes You Say "Hold My Beer"

Ah, the 2020 BMW M4. A car so packed with performance, luxury, and tech that it might just make you question every other decision you've made in life—like that time you went with the “cheap” pizza on Friday night. (We all know it’s never really a good deal.) But this M4? Oh, it’s the Ferrari of the “affordable” sports car world. Affordable, of course, if you define affordable as "what’s my mortgage again?"

Let’s break down why the 2020 BMW M4 deserves a place in your dreams, and probably your driveway. Spoiler alert: It’s not because you’ll be getting the best fuel economy, but it's definitely because you'll be getting all the looks and all of the power.

1. The Heart of a Beast: Power That Makes Your Friends Jealous

First off, the 2020 M4 comes with the kind of engine that would make the Gods pause mid-golf swing. Under the hood, you'll find either the 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 or, for the truly ambitious, the 503-horsepower Competition model. That’s 503 horsepower that’s ready to explode from 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds. To put it in perspective, your coffee’s probably not even done brewing before the M4 is already halfway down the block.

This engine sounds like an orchestra of thunder and fury—if an orchestra was made entirely of angry cheetahs. Whether you’re on the highway, the track, or just pretending you're in an action movie while leaving the grocery store, the engine is your personal soundtrack. And honestly, who doesn’t want to sound like you’re in a high-speed chase at all times?

2. Drift Mode: Because Who Needs Control Anyway?

BMW didn’t just design the M4 to handle turns; they made it so it can dance through turns like it’s auditioning for Dancing with the Stars. The M4’s rear-wheel-drive system, coupled with a specially tuned suspension, means this thing can get tail-happy with a snap of your fingers.

You’re probably wondering, “But what if I don't want to look like a weekend warrior trying to drift in front of a bunch of high schoolers in the parking lot?” Well, don’t worry, BMW has you covered. Enter Drift Mode—because why settle for “driving” when you can make everything a high-speed Tokyo Drift homage?

With Drift Mode engaged, you can do things with the M4 that would get most sedans a one-way ticket to "Oops" town. And when you're done, just give the car a little fist pump and casually drive off like nothing happened. (Of course, if you do end up in a ditch, well... good luck explaining that one to your insurance.)

3. Inside the M4: Luxurious Tech That Makes You Forget About the Outside World

Now, let’s talk about the inside. BMW is known for its luxurious interiors, and the M4 is no different. The seats are so comfortable, they might as well have been made by a team of highly trained masseuses. And yes, we’re aware that doesn’t make sense, but you know what? This is the 2020 M4. Logic goes out the window the moment you turn the key.

The interior is a nice mix of premium materials, sporty design, and a digital interface that makes you feel like you’re piloting a spaceship. The 12.3-inch digital display provides more information than you’ll ever need, but let’s be honest: you’ll spend most of your time just watching the tachometer rise while your grin expands like the Grinch after a few too many cups of eggnog.

Apple CarPlay? Yep. Android Auto? Of course. But no matter how many apps you try to open, you’ll probably end up just listening to the soundtrack of the car anyway—because, remember, this is a performance car, not a tech gadget.

4. Handling: Like a Road-Hugging Ninja on Roller Skates

Let’s talk handling, because let’s face it—this is where the M4 really starts to show off. It’s precise, sharp, and utterly intoxicating. Think of it like a road-hugging ninja on roller skates. With adaptive dampers, an active M differential, and optional M Carbon ceramic brakes, this car can take a corner like it’s your best friend holding your hand during a scary movie.

Whether you’re doing a quick run through the mountains or flying down an open stretch of highway, the M4 sticks to the road like it has an iron grip on reality—and it’ll make you question every other car you’ve ever driven. If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, this car feels like it’s glued to the road,” the M4 takes that to a new, superhuman level.

5. Looks: The Car You Will Drive Just to See Yourself in the Rearview Mirror

Let’s not overlook the looks. The 2020 M4 is aggressive, yet undeniably stylish. It’s like that friend who shows up at the party in a leather jacket and instantly becomes the center of attention, but instead of talking about themselves, they just know that everyone’s watching. With its wide, menacing front grille and muscular stance, the M4 looks fast even when it’s standing still. Seriously, it's like the car equivalent of a lion with a Mohawk.

If you think you’re going to get away with being subtle while driving the M4, you’re kidding yourself. This car was built to attract stares. You’ll be stopped at the traffic light and witness people whip out their phones, taking photos like you’re the star of the next Fast & Furious movie. And honestly, you’ll love it.

6. Price: The “You Don’t Need to Know” Territory

The price tag is... well, let’s just say it's a conversation starter. Starting at around AED 260,000 for the base model and going up to over AED 280,000 for the Competition, the M4 isn’t exactly in “economic car” territory (although you can get it from Al Qassim Cars for just AED 189,999 now that's a steal)  However, when you see how this car launches off the line and handles like a dream, you’ll understand why it's worth every penny. It’s one of those cars that makes you wonder if you should sell your kidney on the black market to make it happen (but hey, that's just a suggestion, not financial advice).

Conclusion: If You’re Looking for Perfection, the 2020 BMW M4 is a Very Good Place to Start

So, what have we learned today? The 2020 BMW M4 is a beautifully crafted machine that combines speed, luxury, and sheer driving joy in a way that leaves almost every other car on the road in the dust. It's the car you buy when you want to let your inner race car driver take over—or if you just want to make sure that everyone knows you're having more fun than they are.

Does it come with some downsides? Sure, it’s not cheap, and it’s a bit of a handful when it comes to practicality. But if you're looking for a car that’s more about thrills than spreadsheets, the M4 is waiting to make every day feel like a high-speed chase. So, go ahead, hit the gas. Life’s too short not to drive the ultimate driving machine.
