2018 BMW M4
2018 BMW M4: Light Updates (Literally): BMW’s M4 has been a success at carrying the torch of the original M3 (the iconic M3 moniker has survived only on the four-door version, originally an afterthought). The downgrade from a high-revving V-8 to a twin-turbocharged inline-six has mostly helped the car. The lower peak revs and slightly less satisfying sound are offset by its higher, more accessible torque, and the lighter engine pairs well with the six-speed manual. For those who won’t be bothered rowing through gears manually, an equally competent seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is available, too. BMW is upgrading the M4 for 2018 with only the slightest of facelifts. Unlike on the lesser 4-series models, BMW hasn’t touched the M-specific front and rear fascias. What it has done is replace the head- and taillights with the latest units. And that means the M4 gets more angular, rather futuristic LED eyes up front, while the rear sports new taillights with flowing graphics. The overall shape is unchanged front and rear, but brand aficionados should be able to spot the new light signature. The interior gets a few changes as well: The front seats are now graced with illuminated M logos (the car is virtually littered with M logos), chrome is more liberally applied, and BMW has added double stitching on the instrument panel for a more upscale appearance. Finally, the infotainment screen is graced with new graphics. What hasn’t changed, thankfully, is the aforementioned turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, serving up 425 horsepower and a maximum of 406 lb-ft of torque. BMW still offers the Competition package, which increases output to 444 horsepower at 7000 rpm. This option also includes a less restrictive stability control system and a computer-controlled limited-slip differential, and it can be specified with black 20-inch wheels with a 666 designation that is full of symbolism.The two body styles also continue: You can get the M4 as a coupe or as a convertible with a retractable hardtop. When the 2018 M4 hits dealerships this spring, its price will stay close to the current model, which retails for $67,195 in coupe form and $75,695 as a droptop. It continues to face competition from the Cadillac ATS-V, the Lexus RC F, and the Mercedes-AMG C63 coupe and cabriolet. At the Geneva auto show in March, another competitor will make its debut: the newest Audi RS5. Still, we expect that BMW’s M4 will continue to hold its own even among this strong field of contenders.
2018 Audi S5
Regardless of body style, the S5 is powered by a new turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that Audi brought to the S4 and S5—a variant will appear in the RS 5 later. The turbo-6 is rated at 354 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque and can propel the S5 up to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The twin-scroll, single turbocharger sandwiched between the V-6’s banks that feeds one side of the engine first to reduce any lag from the forced induction. Mostly, the engine succeeds in providing willing power throughout the range. The S5’s torque comes on at 1,350 rpm and stays flat all the way to 4,500 rpm. The V-6 feels particularly strong in passing—the S5’s mission as a grand tourer that can chew through miles has been largely realized. The engine teamed with an 8-speed automatic exclusively—no manual this time around—and Audi’s all-wheel-drive system, which it calls Quattro. The all-wheel-drive system splits torque 40/60, front-to-rear for better performance. New for this year, Audi offers a sport rear differential that can direct more torque side to side in the back, for better grip and cornering.
