Current BMW Model Range

The new G87 2nd gen M2 Coupe launched in April of 2023, and improves upon its predecessor in almost every way. The most notable difference between the F87 1st gen and G87 M2 is that the engine produces just under 100 HP more power, and 50 more lbs-ft of torque. While the new M2 is slightly heavier than the first gen by about 450 lbs, it will still out-accelerate the older M2 by 0.6 seconds, and will continue on to jsut about 180 MPH. Of note, there is no current Competition series M2, but you can purchase Competition carbon-fiber seats, trim, aero packages, and the like if you want to personalize your M2 with a touch of lightness and carbon!

BMW introduced the latest generation M3 sedan and M4 coupe in 2021, and the 6th-gen siblings remain as driver-focused as ever. By not caving in to conventional wisdom - and in doing so, honoring the wishes of its enthusiast fanbase - BMW is offering the base versions of the cars with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard.

The M3 and M4 quickly divided the public with its big kidney grille appearance, but they also soon proved to be superior cars to their predecessors in every regard. More power and better chassis gave them formidable all-round performance worthy of their M regalia. That being said, the divisive styling and high-performing mechanics really came together well despite initial controversies.

The M4 is available only as a coupé.

Besides the notable increase in power and torque over the regular M3 and M4 duo, the Competition models are exclusively available with 8-speed M Steptronic transmission. While this may not be the purists’ first choice, the Competition models are better equipped for those who find lap times to be the more pressing matter at hand.

The M4 Competition is available only as a coupe.

So far the ultimate form of G80 and G82 M3 and M4 models, the Competition xDrive trim benefits from BMW's all-wheel drive system to squeeze extra performance from the dynamic duo. Despite added weight of xDrive paraphernalia, the M3 and M4 have recorded astonishingly quick 0-60 times and toque distribution to both axles improved their on-track performance as well.

BMW M4 is available as both a coupe and convertible in this trim only.

In keeping with the Competition formula as used in the rest of the lineup, the Competition version of the M8 offers up a more hardcore, track-focused version of the base car which was discontinued in 2022.

The M8 Competition also borrows its engine from its M5 counterpart, producing an additional 17 horsepower over the regular M8. While it's not realistic to see many M8s to show up to the race track, the Competition package is nevertheless a worth-it option for the more discerning pilots out there.

Available as a coupe, convertible and gran coupe body style.

For those who lean more towards agility than cargo space, the 2024 BMW X3 M checks off a lot of boxes. It comes equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder putting out standard 473 horsepower.

If one opts for a $7,400 Competition Package, their X3 M will get additional 30-horsepower bump and a host of go-fast upgrades throughout. BMW’s latest M SUV is capable, fun and attractively priced for buyers looking for a small, convenient and powerful performance SUV.

The sloped-roof counterpart to the X3 M, the X4 M is identical in every other way. It gets the same 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, and electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential as the X3 M.

While the BMW X3 M40i might be enough for most families, the X4 M is a better performance machine which will keep the enthusiasts happy.

Just like in the X3 M, the X4 M can get more power through the Competition Package, priced $7,400.

With the same powertrain as the M5 sedan and ample room for...well everything really, the 2024 BMW X5 M is a beast that can easily handle any family-oriented duties you can throw at it. Unlike the M5 though, this one's not quite a “track capable” performance SUVs, even in the $9,300 optional Competition Package. While you can track it, and even do respectable lap times, doesn't really mean you should track it, as that is not what it was designed for.

The X5 M however is a sublime road car packing tons of power in a practical SUV body that handles surprisingly well when you decide to give it a go.

Like the X5 M, the 2024 X6 M is available in both regular and Competition trims, and is mechanically identical to its sibling. The non-Competition model makes 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque.

When in Competition trim, the SUVs crank out 617 horsepower and the same 553 lb-ft torque. Sound familiar? That’s because the X6 M is equipped with the same engine used in the M5 Competition.

In 2019, the completely redesigned BMW Z4 returned to the lineup after a four year absence. Unchanged since 2021, the 2024 BMW Z4 is better than ever; and with its exceptional performance comes incredible value. At its base price, the car costs considerably less than its main rival, the baseline Porsche 718 Boxster – but still offers the same puristic roadster thrills.

While there is no dedicated Z4M roadster (yet), the Z4 M40i is about as close as you can get in 2024. It brings the 3.0L turbo I6 over from the partnership BMW has with Toyota for the new GR Supra, giving the car 382 HP and knocking 1.2 seconds off the 0 to 60 time of the base Z4. It also gains the 8-speed transmission from that same partnership, meaning lightning fast shifts, both manual and automatic shift modes, and integrated launch control that will do the first shift for you.
