Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for an enthusiast. This specific Grey M4 boasts an exceptionally clean MOT record and very low mileage for its age.
While the MOT history is pristine, the primary focus for a buyer should be the service history. Ensure the vehicle has followed BMW's recommended oil change intervals, as these high-performance 2.9L engines require strict adherence to maintenance to ensure long-term reliability. Check for any evidence of track use, which may not be reflected in the low mileage but could impact wear on brakes and tyres.
Negotiate based on the current tyre tread and brake pad life, as replacements for M-specification components are costly. Request a full HPI check to ensure the vehicle's history matches the clean MOT record and that there are no outstanding finance agreements or hidden accident history.

Common Problems: BMW M4
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Crank Hub Slip / Engine Timing Issues(Serious)
The same S55 crank-hub concern that affects F80 M3s also hangs over the F82/F83 M4, especially on tuned cars making repeated hard launches.
- Adaptive Damper / Top Mount Wear(Moderate)
Stiff suspension, large wheels, and poor UK roads can leave M4s with worn dampers, noisy top mounts, or poor wheel alignment that chews through tyres.
- Convertible Roof Water Ingress / Module Risk(Moderate)
The folding-roof M4 Convertible can suffer from blocked drains, wet boot electronics, or roof-cycle faults if the mechanism has been neglected.
- Coolant / Charge-Cooling Leaks(Moderate)
Turbocharged M4s can lose coolant from expansion tanks, front coolers, or hoses. It is a common nuisance fault on hard-driven examples and should not be ignored.
