The 2016 BMW M4 is a perfect case study of the age-old debate about the merits of automatic versus manual transmissions. When equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, the car was capable of a 0-to-60 acceleration time of about 4.1 seconds. But when optioned with the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, it could hit 60 in closer to 3.7 seconds.
Ultimately, personal preference dictates any given driver’s dream machine. If sheer speed is your thing, the M4 automatic takes the cake. We have just the vehicle for you to test out its performance credentials – on a closed course or racetrack, of course.
Featured on AutoHunter is this 2016 BMW M4 Coupe. The car is being sold by a dealer in Fort Myers, Florida, and the auction will end Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. (PDT).
Finished in Silverstone, this 94,000-mile sports coupe comes equipped with plenty of performance-oriented goodies like the Competition Package, an active M differential, and an adaptive M suspension. An aftermarket Dinan free-flow exhaust system has been added for some extra growl too.
The 4 Series first went into production in 2014, when the BMW brand decided to split its coupe and convertible variants of the 3 Series into a separate line. The coupe was dubbed the F82; the convertible was the F83. In keeping with tradition, a high-performance “M” variant made its debut shortly after the initial reveal. Depending on options and configurations, the M4 stickered for between about $75,000 and $90,000, so it was targeting buyers in the same range as the base Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the Porsche Cayman GT4, and the Cadillac CTS-V. Needless to say, the competition was fierce.
The CARFAX report for this car shows it was first offered for sale in late 2015 at Five Star BMW in Florence, South Carolina. Five Star continued to service the car for about its first 48,000 miles. In 2018, the car was relocated to North Carolina, and it subsequently traveled to Tennessee and Florida, where it is now listed for sale in Fort Myers.
Power comes from an S55 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six that was rated at 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic was the transmission of choice. According to the documentation provided, BMW of Sarasota, Florida, performed an oil change, a brake service, and a maintenance inspection about a year ago at 91,005 miles.
Whether or not your “Ultimate Driving Machine” comes with a clutch pedal, there is no doubt an M4 is plenty fast to get your heart beating. Click over to the auction and picture yourself behind its carbon-fiber-wrapped wheel.
