The two-door M4 coupe is painted yellow. Both get the polarizing new BMW grille style that&#8217;s larger than any BMW grille before it.<\/p>\n<p>The cars also have aggressive new hoods with vents (it looks like something off a Dodge Charger), angular headlights and shapely rear ends with aggressively styled rear fascia. The cars are bound to stir up some controversy with BMW fanatics. <strong>They&#8217;re a clear departure from what the M3 and M4 have looked like in the past.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The cars will feature twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight six-cylinder engines. The engines in these cars will be the same as the X3 M and the X4 M. It&#8217;s a great option and makes 473 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque. BMW will likely boost power a bit for these cars. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2020\/09\/2021-bmw-m3-and-m4-leak-online-before-official-launch\/\">Carscoops<\/a> suggest the power will be <strong>over 500 hp and over 440 lb-ft of torque in the Competition spec variants of the cars.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There will be an eight-speed automatic transmission, but BMW will also offer a six-speed manual in certain variants of the car.
