Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 M4.
The 2025 BMW M4, fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission, returns EPA fuel economy ratings of 16 mpg city, 23 highway, and 19 combined. With only six owner complaints on record, it sits well below the model’s peak of 21 complaints in 2016, though its two recalls and top complaints in service brakes and forward collision avoidance indicate that the 2025 model year has not yet matched the near-flawless 2020 model, which saw just a single complaint.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 BMW M4 represents the first model year of the generation’s second facelift, following a clear trend of declining complaints and recalls since the 2015–2017 peak. While the federal record for 2025 shows only four complaints—three related to crashes and one each in braking, suspension, and steering—the data doesn’t specify root causes, limiting deeper analysis. Compared to prior years, the 2025’s recall count remains unrecorded in the dataset, but the broader generation has seen recalls drop from three annually (2015–2017) to zero in 2022, suggesting improved build quality or fewer systemic issues. The 2025’s complaint volume aligns with the low levels seen in 2018–2022, indicating stability rather than a mid-cycle correction. However, as the first year of a refresh, it may carry unproven updates in braking and steering systems, which account for half of its complaints. **Takeaway: The 2025 M4 appears to be a low-risk entry point in the generation, but buyers should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection of its revised components.**
