In August, BMW Korea will introduce the M4 Competition M xDrive Coupé First Edition and M4 Competition M xDrive Convertible First Edition, the M440i xDrive Coupé Pro First Edition and the new M440i xDrive Convertible Pro First Edition, as well as the M4 Competition M xDrive Coupé First Edition and the new M440i xDrive Convertible Pro First Edition, to celebrate the launch of the recently refreshed New M4 and New 4 Series.

All limited edition models are available for purchase via BMW Shop Online (https://shop.bmw.co.kr/), BMW Korea's online sales channel.

The M4 Competition M xDrive Coupé and Convertible First Edition is the first limited edition to celebrate the official Korean launch of BMW M's high-performance models, the M4 Competition M xDrive Coupé and M4 Competition M xDrive Convertible, which are back for a second generation facelift.

The M4 Competition M xDrive Coupé First Edition features a special exterior colour of 'Chalk' with black high-gloss M graphics, which visually conveys its powerful performance, agile movement and driving exhilaration. This is complemented by a range of M-specific design elements, including the M rear spoiler and M carbon roof, to create the intense aura of a high-performance model.

The interior features merino leather in a race-car-inspired 'Yas Marina Blue' with black trim. M carbon bucket seats, M carbon fibre interior trim and M seat belts add to the sporty feel.

The M4 Competition M xDrive Convertible First Edition is painted in 'Velvet Orchid', a colour that enhances the elegance of the convertible, and is complemented by M compound brakes with red calipers and silver double-spoke M Silver wheels, which add to its dynamic and sophisticated character.

The cabin is bright and luxurious, with merino leather in a combination of silverstone and black, and the M Sport seats are supportive and comfortable for sporty driving.

The M4 Competition M xDrive Coupé and Convertible First Edition are powered by the latest in-line six-cylinder 3.0L petrol twin-turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 530 hp and 66.3 kg-m of torque. Acceleration from rest to 100 km/h is just 3.5 seconds for the new M4 Coupe and 3.7 seconds for the new M4 Convertible.

Add to this the adaptive M suspension that adjusts damping depending on the driving situation and mode, the M Sport Differential that maximises cornering performance, and the M xDrive system that seamlessly switches between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, and you have the exhilarating driving experience that only BMW M can deliver.

The new M4 Competition M xDrive Coupé First Edition is priced at $145.1 million and the new M4 Competition M xDrive Convertible First Edition is priced at $151.3 million (including VAT) and is limited to 15 units each.

The M440i xDrive Coupe Pro and Convertible Pro First Editions are the first limited editions of the new M440i xDrive Coupe and new M440i xDrive Convertible, which are due to launch in September.

The M440i xDrive Coupé Pro First Edition stands out with its striking 'Fire Red' exterior colour. This is complemented by M Sport brakes with red calipers and exclusive 19-inch visual Y-spoke wheels for the First Edition to make an even bolder statement.

The interior is upholstered in black Burnesca leather. Red trim throughout adds a touch of freshness. M seat belts, carbon fibre interior trim and a Harman Kardon audio system are also standard.

The bodywork of the M440i xDrive Convertible Pro First Edition is painted in Tanzanite Blue, a colour that is only available in BMW Individual. In addition, the 19-inch Indispensable Y-spoke aluminium wheels are the same as the Coupé model and are exclusive to the First Edition. Inside, the cabin is luxurious and elegant, with ivory white merino leather and carbon fibre interior trim.

The M440i xDrive Coupé Pro and Convertible Pro First Edition are powered by a straight-six 3.0-litre petrol turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 392 hp and 55.1 kg-m of maximum torque. The new M440i xDrive Coupé Pro accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, while the new M440i xDrive Convertible Pro reaches this speed in 4.8 seconds.
