2015 BMW M4 coupe -- "worth the wait"

2015 BMW M4 coupe -- "Worth the wait" is the headline on the Car&Driver article and this is why;

The M4 uses a 3.0-liter straight six it can rev up to 7600 rpm and is fitted with a pair of Mitsubishi sourced turbochargers. The twin-turbo six cylinder is rated at 425 hp from 5500 to 7300 rpm, with a maximum torque of 406 lb-ft starting from 1800 rpm.



Standard transmission is a six speed manual (yeah!), which automatically revs on downshifts. There is an optional transmission, a seven speed dual-clutch automatic.

BMW says that the M4 can do 0-60-mph (97 km/h) in roughly 4.1 seconds with the six speed manual, and the dual-clutch automatic drops that number to 3.9!
Top speed is limited at 155 mph, there may be an option to raise the limiter to 174 mph.

For the first time the M4 coupe will have it's own dedicated chassis called the F82. It comes with an electronically controlled rear differential called Active M Differential which is borrowed from the M5 and the M6. 18 and 19 inch wheels will be offered using 255/35 in the front and 275/35 in the rear. It will use an entirely new electric steering system which will offer the driver selectable modes of  comfort / sport / sport plus (adaptive suspension options are available).  Brakes are carbon-ceramic, same as those found on the M5 and M6.
