BMW M4 vs BMW M5. In the first of our Deadly Rivals series, we pit two of the best M Division cars head-to-head on track.
M4 wins.

Default BMW M4 Coupe pampered with Pyrite Brown metallic Individual paint


Click here to view more photos


Paint costs about $5,000

The BMW M4 Coupe has received the Individual treatment bringing a couple of cosmetic upgrades both inside and out.

It's dressed up in a Pyrite Brown metallic special color from the Individual catalog and depending on the light it shows various nuances. This high-end hue made its debut on the third generation X5 and has been available across the M3 & M4 lineup since last fall along with three other Individual paints called Citrin Black, Azurite Blue and Moonstone Metallic. Also noticeable is the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) along with a 19-inch set of five double-spoke 437 M forged alloy wheels.

The rather unusual exterior paint scheme which by the way costs around $5,000 is combined on the inside with a BMW Individual Sonoma Beige Merino fine-grain leather trim and a BMW Individual Sycamore Red-Brown fine wood trim adding some elegance to a sporty cabin of the high-performance coupe.

Default Too Much? Vorsteiner's BMW M4 GTRS4 Tries On Superman Suit


Click here to view more photos


Not that Vorsteiner's GTRS4 wide-body package for the BMW M4 needs any help to stand out, but combined with a Yas Marina Blue shade and red alloy wheels, things quickly get, well, divisive.

You can lay down your opinion about the car's looks in the comments below, but before you do, let us remind you of what this 10th year anniversary package from the US tuner includes.

The highlight, of course, is the wider fenders on all four corners that add 4 inches or 102mm on the front end of the M4 and 7 inches or 178mm on the rear, and which come with a new pair of bumpers (the rear with a different diffuser), and extended side skirts.

Completing the cosmetic changes are the 20-inch wheels wrapped in 275-wide tires front and 345-wide rear, bespoke exhaust finishers for all four pipes, special mats for the interior and an available KW Suspension kit that drops the M4's ride height for a more aggressive stance.

Default BMW M4 gets power bump and carbon aero kit from Alpha-N Performance


Click here to view more photos


Packs a 520 HP punch

German tuner Alpha-N Performance has released a complete aftermarket package for the BMW M4 Coupe.

Work started on the outside where the high performance coupe has been pampered with a carbon fiber body kit encompassing a new front bumper (€449), GT4-like dive planes (€449) and a rear diffuser that can get either short fins (€999) or long ones (€1,499). Alpha-N Performance is also providing a rear trunk lid spoiler (€1,299) or an adjustable wing (€2,199) with an optional spoiler (€199).

The more aggressive styling can be matched with a power bump for the six-cylinder 3.0-liter turbocharged engine which in its standard configuration delivers 431 HP (317 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm). Thanks to a multi-channel chip tuning box and a stainless steel exhaust system, output is increased to 530 HP (390 kW) and 506 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque.

Alpha-N Performance can also equip the BMW M4 Coupe with OZ Racing or mbDESIGN alloy wheels while starting June they are going to offer an Öhlins fully adjustable coilover kit.

the wife is ordering an M4, next month....since its damn near impossible to find a manual transmission WITHOUT a carbon fiber roof and with a moonroof. so since we have to order....why not get an Individual color?



i realize that she's not gonna go for the Java Green, but....



this Frozen Grey is the business. alas...it'll prolly just be the 'regular' Mineral Gray with Black interior. unfortunately, it will prolly be a 2016 build....with any accompanying price increase

Trust me...we thought about European delivery. But you lose all of your savings when it's two people traveling....right around $2000 RT per person on Lufthansa...and we've already taken our outta country vacation, this year. Besides...they were already filled up thru July for ED when we checked about 6 weeks ago. Lotta folks are doing it, now. With good reason...

But we WILL do the Performance Center Delivery in Greenville, tho. That's a no brainer...

ah, i hear you. indeed euro delivery is so popular now. if i do it, i won't expect any savings at all. i just kind of tell myself i will be getting the car at regular price and it comes with a "free" trip

but yeah, definitely do the performance school. i went for the 1 day m school when i got my m3, my goodness, one of my best days ever
