BMW M3 Vs M4: Engine Differences That Matter during Engine Replacement

Any BMW bearing the M Series on its body is bound to reign supreme in power, precision and performance, something that driving enthusiasts crave worldwide. M3 and M4 are performance machines that are considered a delight to drive and own due to their capability to perform at higher levels and affordability at the same time.  Both machines boast powerhouses as engines and can produce amazing figures but what when it comes to replacing the engines in them? What engines do they use and what are the best replacement choices when it comes to complete engine replacements? It is time to discover why BMW M4 engines are the ultimate solution to get the engine replacement.

Differences between the BMW M3 and BMW M4

BMW M3, the original trailblazer in the sports sedan category was introduced in 1986 and has evolved over decades to become the revered vehicle it is today for its practicality, luxury and track ready performance. On the other hand, the BMW M4 carried the DNA from the already established M3 bringing the monster out with aggressive design and enhanced aerodynamics to the M family.

The most visible difference between the two is that M3 is a sedan and more practical while M4 is a coupe with two doors. M3 supports a concealed stealth look while M4 has an aggressive stance with a lower sleeker roofline. M3 is heavier due to the luxury features it carries and M4 has lots of weight reduction features such as a carbon roofline and a lighter yet stiffer suspension that makes it more track-ready than its counterpart.

Engine Comparisons: M3 vs M4

Surprisingly both M3 and M4 share a similar base as far as the engines are concerned. However, there are some major differences that set them apart. In fairness, BMW M3 has been established for a long time and has evolved from a high revving S14 inline four in the E30 to a turbocharged S58 inline six in the latest outing. The M4 may mirror the same engines but includes significant performance based upgrades. M4 GTS uses an advanced technology that uses water injection to up the power to 493 hp from the standard 425 hp in the base models.

M4 edges ahead in performance but it's not all down to its engine though as M4 takes advantage of its aerodynamic profile, lighter weight due to weight reduction practices and stiffer suspension, making it a perfect vehicle for a thrilling driving experience.

Why the M4 Engine Stands Out for Replacement

Although BMW M4 engines make good use of the latest technologies and tweaks such as twin turbocharging, improved cooling systems such as water injection and increased power output, those engines can face their own set of problems as well. Being performance-oriented vehicles, those cars face constant strain on all systems and can easily face issues such as turbocharger wear, oil leaks, or cooling system inefficiencies over time.
