France in the spotlight! The model There's no doubt that France shines through the TDF (Tour de France) appellation, dear to Ferrari for its most exclusive versions of 3 models. BMW, too, uses the name of this famous race. But what exactly is it? As a loyal Tour Auto partner, BMW has decided to celebrate the 25th Tour Auto Optic 2000 with a special treatment for its M4. The M4 is the sportiest version of the 4 Series, a model that appeared in 2013 to give a specific name to the coupé and cabriolet bodies of the 3 Series. It replaces the BMW M3 coupé. The M4 F82 is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged in-line 6-cylinder engine, replacing the V8 that powered the previous generation M3. Its power output is 450 hp, 30 hp more than the 4.0-liter V8. For this Tour Auto version, only five examples will be available on the French market. They will benefit from specific equipment based on the Performance and Experience M packages. As a result, the power output differs from that of the basic M4 with 450 hp, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h. In terms of appearance, there's a specific "Tour Auto" logo on the B-pillar and embroidered on the headrests, a specific roof, a specific exhaust system, new front seats with perforated backrests and Merino Extended Schwarz leather upholstery with red stitching. There's no choice to be made for the exterior configuration, BMW imposes a white color and specific 20-inch forged light-alloy wheels. As an anecdote, this BMW M4 Coupé Tour Auto Edition was used as an usher car during the 2016 edition of the Tour Auto Optic 2000, driven by Ari Vatanen. The car This is a March 2016 BMW M4 Tour Auto Edition with 56,000 km on the clock. Its engine is a 3-liter in-line 6-cylinder developing 450 hp and 550 Nm of torque, all mated to a 7-speed DKG (dual-clutch) gearbox. The identification corresponds to the elements presented. The vehicle has not been subjected to an inspection as it is rare and recent, and shows no major wear or visual defects, with the exception of a few small scratches on the LM star-spoke rims. The vehicle is richly equipped with comfort-oriented options such as velour floor mats, heated front seats, adaptive LED headlamps and a parking assistance system.
