BMW M4 vs Porsche 911 | Which Is The Right One For You

The BMW M4 and the Porsche 911 aren't really direct competitors but it seems like one is more of a natural progression to the other. And by that i mean a progression from the BMW M4 into a Porsche 911. Many BMW M4 owners generally move into Porsche 911's when they're ready to move on. Why is that?

The BMW M4 has been around a couple years now and its a wonderful car. The front end looks have grown on some people paired with amazing driving dynamics, the BMW M4 presents a compelling package if one was looking for a sporty coupe that could be driven on a daily basis.

The Porsche 911 has also been around for a while, 60+ years and it to is a remarkable machine. It still mostly looks the same as what it did 60 years ago but still managed to look modern and put up performance thats eye opening.

Now, why is it that many BMW owners gravitate towards Porsche? Not sure but im going to attempt to figure that out in this video.

I went from a G82 comp with the ultimate pack in to a 992 S as a daily. Totally agree on the bucket seats, look amazing and fairly comfortable once in but as I daily I got to the point of dreading getting in and out of it. M4 had all the tech but for me the PDK and the engine note sets the cars apart. The M4 inside the cabin sounded fake to me, the squeaky brakes were annoying and the side on profile could be mistaken for a normal 4 series. Brand snobbery definitely plays a factor but the 911 is iconic and there is certainly more of a wow factor when you put your foot down. Great video!

great review and comparision ! like your car reviews, very fundamental and detailed. keep up the good work !

[ojdgaf]

basic models, daily vs sport comparison, straight to the point, great review!

Great video, and excellent comparison. The M4 is plush and fast, but at the end of the day it’s a sporty car. The 911 is less comfortable but more serious and is a sports car through and through without the compromises of an M4 and it’s shared car platform. Both are excellent choices, my choice has always been the 911 or cayman but I wouldn’t complain about driving an M4 either.

Great video, and excellent comparison

I’ve been in both, not a track person. Personally for the price and use I would prefer the M4. In the future the C8 Z06.

18:33 there's a mistake. You called the 911 "a boxer engine, a flat 6 engine". It's neither of those; it's a horizontally opposed 6 cylinder. Boxer engines opposing pistons share the same crankpin & flat 6s are inline, but slanted 90*. Horizontally opposed don't necessarily share crankpins, but they cylinders are 180* off one another, and may or may not share crankpins between two opposing cylinders.

Really don’t think BMW see it like that sunbeam!

I'd love a 911. But my M4 is really hard to beat. Let's face facts, 99% of the time we're all driving in traffic. I'm thinking the M4 would be better for that. Also, mines got airconditioned seats. They're awesome.

Personally i find all car companies have ruined dashboards with ever bigger screens and ditching buttons. Same with later bmws. I hate the kitchen counter size screen.

[MarchedYeti]

have you had the chance to drive the new m2? Also would you say that the m4 is enough? This would be my only car. Some people say you HAVE to go xdrive. Either RWD m4 or new m2. I've taken the older 911 out of the equation.

[ronspiess]

I went from a 991.2 4GTS with all the bells and whistles to my present M4 comp. x drive. Loved the Porsche, but not as a comfortable daily driver. Great fun to go fast in but not so much around town. The M4 is SO much more comfortable and liveable for every day. I found the build quality to be the same. The performance is impressive and comparable on both cars but the price difference is over $50k. which makes the M4 a bargain.

You can't beat the practicality of the Beemer

I’m trying to figure out where non-owners get the balls to give advice and advise people that actually own and drive these cars, WHAT WE NEED ??? !!! 😮😊😂

[prazzy]

911 no Brainer unless you really need the greater usability, actually costs you less since the depreciation rate is significantly lower

[holymolys]

you should compare Xdrive M4 with 911S, it will be a different outcome

[joseortiz]

What a pity testing those incredible cars on a straight street!,

[MrElnuno]

These two cars are aimed at different markets, so not sure why thy the comparison. Also, these cars shine on fast, flowing country roads, so doing a review on straight suburban roads seems pointless to me. I'm a 911 and M3 owner so I understand these cars, and driving them in this way makes no sense to me. Just my $0.02 as always. Not right or wrong.

[DoubleChinzy]

So you have sections for exhaust mic, but can't stop talking over it nonstop. Nice.

[JohnMatthew]

There is NO comparison. The Porsche could be spectacular over the BMW, but the reality is it's 50% more expensive than the BMW. Case closed.

If you even consider either car then $ isn't really a thing.

This is a dumb comparison.
