Everything You Need to Know About the Pre-LCI BMW M4 with M Performance Parts Before It's Gone
With the highly anticipated 2025 M4 LCI now making waves, it’s time to bid adieu to the pre-facelift G82. This isn't your average farewell, though. This stunning Competition model goes out in style, adorned in a vivid Fire Orange paint from BMW's exclusive Individual catalog, and dripping with carbon fiber enhancements from the M Performance Parts collection.
Among these enhancements, one can’t help but notice the lesser-known yet eye-catching M body graphics. First introduced in Europe back in mid-2022, BMW opted to finally bring these striking decals to American shores with the 2025 M4 LCI. Available in both black and red, these decals offer a unique spin on what is already a visually captivating machine.
Under the Hood and Upgrades
While the exterior remains a head-turner, this M4 reveals its age when compared to the latest model's redesigned elements. The new LCI versions come with fully updated headlights, laser taillights, stylish new wheels, and a significantly refreshed interior. Among these changes, drivers will find a revamped flat-bottomed steering wheel, re-imagined central air vents with new nozzles for adjusted airflow, and even contour lighting within the vents.
BMW fans who love carbon fiber won't be disappointed either. We can expect a slew of updated M Performance Parts tailored for the facelifted model. The model shown here sports an expensive, yet highly effective, set of carbon ceramic brakes, as indicated by its golden calipers. These brakes perfectly complement the carbon fiber roof, though buyers also have the option of a steel top with an electrically operated sliding sunroof.
Performance and Popularity
It's worth noting that despite the M4’s ongoing appeal, it wasn't BMW M's best-selling product in 2022 or 2023. That title went to the not-quite-M i4 M50, a surprising contender in the lineup. However, with the new and improved M4 now hitting the market, and the facelifted M3 LCI not far behind, the sales landscape might look considerably different in 2024.
To say farewell to the pre-LCI M4 is to acknowledge a significant chapter in BMW’s history of high-performance coupes. This final iteration in Fire Orange, brimming with M Performance Parts, offers a powerful and stylish swan song, capturing both the essence and evolution of BMW’s design and engineering prowess. As enthusiasts await the LCI model’s full rollout, this pre-LCI version remains a testament to BMW’s commitment to delivering exhilarating driving experiences.
