Used Car of the Day: 2015 BMW M4 Coupe

Today's used car of the day is a six-speed manual BMW that comes at a dear price.


Forty-five large gets you into this 2015 BMW M4 coupe -- if you want it in stock form. If you want it as-is, the seller wants $50K. Although the car isn't exactly stock, the modifications aren't mechanical -- they are in terms of audio and cosmetic additions.

The seller says the car has never been tracked and has only suffered a small amount of cosmetic damage that has been repaired.

There's a long list of M bits, and the mileage is around 38K.

Take a look here if this sort of thing interests you.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Not really that into late-model M3s/M4s. Whereas prior M3s are defined in part by unique engines that give them a unique character apart from other 3 series at any speed, even Bimmerphiles admit that the S58 isn't superior to the B58 driven with anything less than go-to-jail intent. I'd be okay with that if the rest of the car were compelling, but the F3x generation seems to be a case of BMW trying to restore that missing differentiation (and the connectedness of the 3 series altogether) through overly firm chassis tuning that really only works on the track.


    Hard pass for me. It just doesn't seem to be the kind of wide-spectrum fun past M3s could be. I'd just get an E9x 335i or M3 six-speed and earmark the difference for upkeep.

    Mineral Grey is actually a great colour! Except in my M3 it is paired with the Sakhir Orange interior and the combo is money. You want a later F8x because it has many little driveability and driving feel improvements, better iDrive, and the possibility of the Competition package. Overall the F8x is very robust but consumables are costly and pretty soon various leaks will start to crop up. I've had mine for 5 years and 70,000 glorious km and I have really fallen in love with this car.

  • Kwi65728132 Nothing surprising here, give a company an inch and they'll take a mile (and your data)...If it bothers someone that their "connected" car is spying on them then maybe they should make a tin foil hat for their car, or buy an older car without connected tech or old enough that the connected tech can no longer phone home due to that generation of cellular service being turned off; my 2014 Hyundai is no longer connected as 3G service has been turned off as of last year and so far, car manufacturers have not clued in on the idea of a common interface standard for cellular modems so upgrades in wireless service would be plug and play.Not that being able to remotely start your car from 10,000 miles away was a smart idea anyway.
  • Dartman Blah blah blah. Methinks some people doth protest too much; hiding something? If it really bothers you so much follow John Prine’s sage advice: “Blow up your TVThrow away your paperGo to the (another?) countryBuild you a homePlant a little gardenEat a lot of peachesTry an' find Jesus on your own"
  • Bd2 Please highlight the styling differences.
  • ToolGuy @Matt, not every post needs to solve *ALL* the world's problems.As a staunch consumer advocate, you might be more effective by focusing on one issue at a time and offering some concrete steps for your readers to take.When you veer off into all directions you lose focus and attention.(Free advice, worth what you paid for it, maybe even more.)
  • FreedMike What this article shows is that there are insufficient legal protections against unreasonable search and seizure. That’s not news. But what are automakers supposed to do when presented with a warrant or subpoena – tell the court to stuff it in the name of consumer privacy? If the cops come to an automaker and say, “this kid was abducted by a perv who’s a six time loser on the sex offender list and we need the location of the abductor’s car,” do they say “sorry, Officer, the perv’s privacy rights have to be protected”?This is a different problem than selling your data.
