2024 BMW M4 Competition M xDrive: Exterior 

The 2024 facelifted version of the BMW M4 underwent extensive visual changes. 

Its front end has received newly designed Adaptive LED headlamps, paired with numeric ‘7’-like shaped LED DRLs that also work as indicators.

The front radiator grille with horizontal slats is finished in high gloss black, complemented by an ‘M’ badge. 

Coming to the side profile, the new M4 looks the same as the pre-facelifted iteration. That said, the overall silhouette is unchanged, except for a few additions. However, on the top of the car, you will find a carbon fibre roof, which reduces the car’s weight, as a result, it reduces the centre of gravity for better stability. 

The additions comprise black inserts on several panels of this German performance car. You can, however, notice the brake callipers, finished in a high gloss blue colour. Red-painted callipers are also available as an option. Further, this vehicle stands on lightweight ‘M’ forged alloy wheels with optional 19- and 20-inch rims.
