2025 BMW M4 Coupe With M Decals Photographed Up Close
We’re spending quality time this weekend at the BMW Welt where the M4 LCI is being showcased. After getting up close and personal with the convertible, it only seems fair to check out the coupe sitting next to it. This is an interesting G82 spec since it does away with the standard carbon fiber roof in favor of a metal top with a sunroof. It’s a no-cost option in Europe and comes with a high-gloss black finish regardless of the car’s color.
This non-Competition M4 Coupe has the optional M body decals that were originally introduced in Europe back in May 2022. With the Life Cycle Impulse, BMW is bringing these graphics to the United States as well. Another extra this car has is noticeable at the rear where the speedy coupe features laser taillights. First seen on the M4 CSL a couple of years ago, the swanky rear lights with a 3D effect are now available on all 4 Series and M4 models.
There are changes at the front as well, but not where some people were hoping BMW would modify the design. The 2025 M4 Coupe retains the controversial kidneys, which are now flanked by sharper-looking headlights with new daytime running lights shaped like arrows. With the mid-cycle update, the luxury marque is dropping the optional laser lights. Instead, the adaptive headlights now have an anti-glare matrix high beam with the blue inserts the old laser lights had.
The new optional headlights have something called an urban light function. What does it do? BMW explains that it ensures optimized illumination of the roadside areas when traveling at low speeds on roads identified by the navigation data as built-up areas. In addition, the low beam is activated only when the car is traveling at speeds of 22 mph (35 km/h) or higher. As usual, customers can get the headlights with a Shadowline treatment, in which case the clusters are heavily darkened.
Introduced this week, the M4 LCI will enter production in March at the Dingolfing factory where the hotter M4 CS is expected to hit the assembly line in July. The limited-run special edition will be manufactured until June 2025 as a two-door coupe version of the M3 CS Sedan but with the new lights. The regular G82 is expected to bow out in mid-2028.
The 2025 BMW M4 Coupe has been causing a stir at the BMW Welt, where the M4 LCI is currently on display. This particular G82 spec comes with a metal top featuring a sunroof, departing from the standard carbon fiber roof. The coupe also sports a striking high-gloss black finish, regardless of its body color. Apart from its unique design features, this non-Competition M4 Coupe showcases optional M body decals, which were first introduced in Europe in May 2022 and are now making their way to the United States with the Life Cycle Impulse.
One visual highlight of the M4 Coupe is its laser taillights, borrowed from the M4 CSL introduced a few years ago. These swanky rear lights add a 3D effect and are now available on all 4 Series and M4 models. At the front, the 2025 M4 Coupe retains its controversial kidney grille design, but it receives sharper-looking headlights with new arrow-shaped daytime running lights. The optional laser lights are being dropped in favor of adaptive headlights featuring an anti-glare matrix high beam with blue inserts.
However, the most notable feature of the new optional headlights is the urban light function. According to BMW, this function enhances illumination of roadside areas when the vehicle is traveling at low speeds on roads identified as built-up areas in the navigation data. Furthermore, the low beam is activated only at speeds of 22 mph (35 km/h) or higher. Customers can also opt for the Shadowline treatment, which darkens the headlight clusters for a more aggressive look.
The M4 LCI, introduced this week, will commence production in March at the Dingolfing factory. Buyers can look forward to the arrival of the hotter M4 CS in July, as it joins the assembly line. The M4 CS is a limited-run special edition that will be produced until June 2025, featuring the new lights and resembling a two-door coupe version of the M3 CS Sedan. As for the regular G82, it is expected to be phased out around mid-2028.
The 2025 BMW M4 Coupe certainly makes a statement with its unique design elements and optional M body decals. With its metal top and sunroof, this G82 spec stands out from the crowd. The laser taillights and sharper headlights with arrow-shaped daytime running lights add to its striking appearance. While the controversial kidney grille remains unchanged, the new adaptive headlights introduce an innovative urban light function. The M4 LCI is set to make its mark on the automotive world, showcasing BMW’s commitment to luxury and performance.
