Compared to the series production BMW M4, the edition model, which is limited worldwide to 200 units, delivers a power output that has been increased by 69hp to 500hp and a maximum torque of 600Nm, an increase of 50 Nm. Top-class motor racing technology for drive and suspension as well as a specific design following that of DTM racing cars built by BMW Motorsport render the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition a high-performance coupe with a focus on racetrack deployment and a collector’s item.
The M4 DTM Champion Edition completes the sprint from 0 to 100kph in just 3.8 seconds. Top speed is limited to 305kph. This level of performance is due to the use of water injection technology featured in the straight six-cylinder power unit also found in the M4 GTS.
Inside the two-seater M4 DTM Champion Edition 2016, both driver and co-driver sit in M Carbon bucket seats covered in Alcantara/Leather Merino. The entire interior is lined with Alcantara, also used on the M Sports steering wheel sporting a grey “12 o’clock” marker. Behind the front bucket seats of the M4 DTM Champion Edition, a white rollover bar replaces the rear seat system.
The car doesn't lack comfort and safety; it has BMW navigation system Professional, air conditioning, adaptive LED headlights with BMW Selective Beam (glare-free high beam assistant), OLED taillights, Park Distance Control (PDC) at the front and rear as well as automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors.
In addition to other components, the bonnet, roof, instrument panel support and rear diffuser are made from carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). The end silencer of the double-flow sports exhaust system featuring two pairs of tailpipes is made of lightweight titanium.
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 high-performance tyres size 265/35 R19 at the front and 285/30 R20 at the rear are designed specifically for use on the racetrack and mounted on light alloys boasting a star spoke design 666 M in Orbit Grey matt. M carbon-ceramic brakes guarantee fade-free braking even in tough racing conditions. The individually adjustable 3-way coilover suspension is mechanically adjustable both for rebound and damping, thus allowing the car’s handling characteristics to be adapted according to personal taste.
The M4 DTM Champion Edition 2016 is available with immediate effect at a price of 148,500 Euros (RM689,000) in Germany.
