This is news that should have BMW enthusiasts jumping around excited. While the current generation BMW 4 series has the Coupe, Gran Coupe, and Cabriolet, only the Coupe and Cabriolet had an M4<\/a> version made.<\/p>\n

As well, there will also be a lightly tuned and upgraded version of the 440i which will bear the moniker of M440i M Performance that will make it over to North America. Not enough M’s in the name, we think.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, or maybe not so, the most powerful 4 series car will be the BMW i4<\/a>. A direct competitor for Tesla and Porsche, the i4 will come with 530 HP equivalent from three electric motors and have a range of about 370 miles.<\/p>\n
