BMW is one of the biggest brands in the world. Most of the vehicles are justly priced but what about the premium of £787 for the 2016 M3 and M4 coupe and £918 for the M4 convertible? With their 3.0-litre straight-six BMW engines, which produce 425bhp and 406 lb-ft, is it all really worth it?
What we have learnt is that the 2016 BMW M3 is priced at £42,055 and the M4 coupe starts at £43,497 whereas the convertible goes at £49,069. So the question is, Why this increase?
Well, the increase is most probably due to the new standard features like the Comfort Access Keyless Entry, Harman/Kardon Surround Sound System and Satellite Radio, added for the 2016 model year. It also gets the body-matching door accents and the LED tail lamps.
Yes, they do. But you have to pay £1,114 for the Driver Assistance Package and if you opt for the Executive Package, you have to shell out £2,295. There is another option, the Lighting Package, which offers automatic high beams and adaptive LED lights, which will cost you extra £1,246.
The Performance packages, on the other hand, adds M double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic, but that will come with an extra cost of £1,901.
The most painful option is the M carbon ceramic brakes, for which you will have to pay a hefty £5,343.
If you have real deep pockets and are willing to shell out few more pounds, you can get M suspension, a sunroof, side and top view cameras, 19-inch wheels, a parking assistant, power rear sunshade, enhanced USB and Bluetooth with smartphone integration.
