Price changes for the BMW M3 and M4 in South Africa
Although they won’t be sold at retail until March, the most contentious BMW M vehicle(s) in recent memory have already begun to arrive in South Africa, and we figured you would be curious about how much they will cost.
We can confirm that the new BMW M3 Competition and M4 Competition will have suggested base prices of R1,860,000 and R1,940,000, respectively. Just a friendly reminder that the first models will all be rear-wheel-drive and that BMW South Africa will only be bringing in the Competition variations (thus no Manual versions to be available).
Considering how expensive everything is these days, that price puts the C63’s replacement about in line with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S, which could cause problems for the C63’s local pricing.
Although the base price is very costly, you will need to spend more money if you want items like carbon ceramic brakes, calipers in colors other than the normal blue, the external carbon pack, and the stunning carbon bucket seats.
The AWD variants will be available at somewhat higher prices before the end of the year, which is impressive given that they will have the same M xDrive as the current M5 Competition.
Recall that the Competition models have a twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 503 horsepower (375 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque that enables them to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 290 kilometers per hour (180 mph) when equipped with the M Driver’s Package.
You will also need to exercise a little more patience if you’re interested in the abundance of M Performance Parts because they won’t be available until closer to the arrival of the AWD models.
Price and specifications for the BMW M4 Competition Convertible in South Africa
The new M4 Competition Convertible is now available for purchase from BMW in South Africa, with prices starting at R2,119,596.
Local price for the X3 M Competition and X4 M Competition was also disclosed alongside this potent convertible.
The starting pricing for these high-performance SUVs are R1,970,562 and R2,070,562 in South Africa, respectively.
Additionally, the new X4 line is now available locally, a few months after its X3-related sister.
This is because the X4 is produced in America whereas the X3 is produced in Pretoria.
A track and road test of the new BMW M4 is conducted in South Africa.
Since South Africa is recognized for having breathtaking scenery, it is not surprising that the local BMW chapter uses this to showcase some of their most recent goods. The new photograph includes the new BMW M3 and M4 without exception. The M4 is painted in Sao Paulo Yellow, the sports coupe’s launch color, as is to be expected. One of the various paint colors offered to the new M brothers, and undoubtedly one of the most divisive, is the lovely yellow.
There is probably a hue out there for every M owner, from non-metallic to metallic and matte possibilities.
The marketing campaign for the new M vehicles includes a significant contribution from the BMW Individual program. Customers could order paint jobs such the Tanzanite Blue II, Dravit Grey, Oxide Grey, Frozen White, Frozen Brilliant White, Frozen Black, Frozen Dark Grey, Frozen Orange, and Frozen Portimao, among many others. Some of those can be ordered from the BMW Individual color chart, while others are included in the standard color palette.
The interior of this M4 Competition is just as interesting. The black and white two-tone leather covering the carbon fiber Competition bucket seats complements the carbon fiber inlays incredibly well. Additionally, a standard BMW Individual Anthracite headliner and high-gloss black console trim are included with the new BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe. The Carbon Fibre high-gloss kit comes with carbon fiber trims and carbon inlays for the steering wheel and shift paddles. Aluminum Tetragon ornaments are another available addition.
The S58 engine, which was specifically improved by the BMW M division using the B58 unit as a starting point, is the driving force behind the recently unveiled M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe. Two output stages of the straight-six petrol engine are available. The base M3 and M4 cars are equipped with the powertrain that produces 353 kW/480 PS (473 horsepower), while the highest Competition models are equipped with the S58 engine that produces 375 kW/510 PS (503 hp).
Either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with M Drivelogic management unit is used to deliver power. For both the 480 PS and the 510 PS Competition models, the output practically hits the rear-axle wheels.
The new high-end M3 and M4 variants now offer a power increase of up to 44 kW / 60 PS and a jump in peak torque achieved of up to 100 Nm compared to the preceding Competition models (74 lb-ft). The Competition iterations are capable of no less than 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) that are continually provided between 2,750 rpm and 5,500 rpm, while the normal models guarantee 550 Nm (405 lb-ft) accessible over a wide rev range between 2,650 rpm and 6,130 rpm. At 6,250 rpm, both engine declinations reach their maximum output, while the red line starts at 7,200 rpm.
New BMW M3 and M4 Competition models officially launch in SA!
In South Africa, the new BMW M3 Competition and M4 Competition are now available. What you should know is as follows.
Only the 375 kW Competition variants will be sold locally, as we noted when the Munich-based company unveiled their new midsize performance twins in September 2020. Therefore, SA consumers once more won’t have the choice of a manual transmission.
How much of this are you actually looking at? The G82 generation M4 Competition coupe is priced from R1 940 000, while the new G80 generation M3 Competition sedan starts at R1 860 000. BMW SA’s online configurator wasn’t yet operational at the time of writing, but if your budget permits, there will no doubt be a variety of delectable alternatives to choose from.
Although these initial models come standard with rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, BMW claims Competition models with the company’s “M xDrive” (rear-biased) all-wheel-drive system will be offered starting in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Recall that the S58 twin-turbo 3,0-litre inline-six engine used in the new M3 Competition and M4 Competition produces 375 kW and 650 N.m (peak twisting force is available between 2 750 and 5 500 r/min). The rear-driven Competition-badged sedan and its coupe brother are both touted to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in only 3,9 seconds (and, according to BMW, from a complete stop to 200 km/h in just 12,5 seconds).
According to the Munich-based company, the model-specific exhaust system, which includes electrically operated flaps, offers a “emotionally rich symphony.” Adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers, variable-ratio steering, and an M-specific braking system with two settings for brake reaction and pedal feel are all included as standard features.
Additionally, the standard equipment features forged M light-alloy wheels, with the front 18-inch wheels wearing 275/40 ZR18 tires and the rear 19-inch wheels sporting 285/35 ZR19 tires. While the roof is made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic.
Although BMW also offers optional M Carbon bucket seats that allow the use of multi-point seat belts, the interior features “newly developed” electrically adjustable M sport seats and fine-grain Merino leather upholstery. Three-zone automatic climate control, LED inside lighting, and BMW Live Cockpit Professional are all included as standard interior features (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality).
Why it’s worth waiting for the new BMW M4 Competition Convertible
JOHANNESBURG:
Both the 2021 BMW M3 and 2021 BMW M4, both in Competition flavor—the flavor South Africans prefer—have recently undergone testing. However, BMW has recently unveiled the all-new drop-top M4, and it looks better than ever. Yes, we are rating the M4’s appearance based on its enormous grille. We are eager to get our hands on the most recent BMW Motorsport 4 Convertible for the following reasons:
1) Under-4 second 0-100km/h
The BMW M4 Competition Convertible is advertised to reach 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds from a standstill when equipped with M xDrive as standard and 375kW on tap. BMW claims that it will consume 10.2 l/100 km in a combined cycle, but good luck getting there if you intend to use the powertrain.
As an open-top, high-performance sports convertible with all-wheel drive, the BMW M4 Competition Convertible with Mx Drive sets new standards for BMW M. It supposedly combines exclusive driving experience with majesty performance in a fascinating way. A rear-wheel-drive option that lets you throw doughnuts when necessary is one of the several settings the all-wheel-drive system offers.
For the M4 Convertible, BMW has created a new motorized folding fabric roof that helps control the vehicle’s already bloated (two-ton) weight. According to reports, the soft top is 40% lighter than the roof of its predecessor, and the boot has an 80-liter capacity increase. Thanks to its sturdy drive mechanism, the soft-top can be opened or closed in 18 seconds, even while the vehicle is driving.
4) Full-fat performance in competition
You get two turbochargers, improved direct injection technology, and a number of mechanical parts created using knowledge gained from racing, just as the M3 and M4 Competition coupe. An eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and three shift programmes transfers power to the wheels, allowing you to adjust the car’s personality according to your needs. This transmission also has many engine, suspension, and steering modes.
BMW hasn’t officially announced prices for the new M4 Competition Convertible, but you can anticipate paying about R2.35 million for one with nice appointments.
