Which M4 is the Best?
Does it really matter if this generation is heading out the door? Every BMW M car has been desirable, and the resale values reflect that. If the intention is to do a lot of track days, think about the fade-resistant carbon-ceramic brakes. If it's going to be a daily driver, look at the Executive package and choose the blind spot monitoring package. Find a BMW M4 for sale
