From the side the new sedan has the sloping roof giving it a coupe design, also, the carbon-fibre roof has two straight lines from the front to the back for added aerodynamics. It also gets 19 or 20-inch black alloy wheels with the rear getting a sharp spoiler on the boot and a diffuser in the rear bumper and four tailpipes. The new 2022 BMW M4 is taller, wider and longer than the outgoing model having 45mm longer wheelbase which will certainly help the rear seat passengers in terms of better legroom.
