BMW M4 - high Performance Coupes

Next we have the 2015 BMW M4. The M4 is listed with an MSRP of $64,200 making it the 4^th most expensive BMW coupe that has been released by BMW this year. The M4 is the name that BMW is using to describe their high performance coupes. It is the top model performance wise of their 4-series line.The M4 takes a big step up from the 435 with 425 horsepower. It is much smaller in size, however. It has a cargo capacity of 11 cubic feet. It seats 4 passengers and starts in rear wheel drive.

The M4 is incredibly well engineered which is the main reason for the steep hike in price. The drive feels very well balanced and comfortable. It features electrically powered steering which leaves a bit to be desired, although it is very accurate which the most important component of this feature. The shifting within this car seems to be perfectly designed. There never seems to be a point where you as the driver should feel that you are leaving anything on the table with its automatic shifting. It shifts at the perfect times in the same way that an expert driver would. The creators of this model have stiffened and reinforced the platform in the M4. It also has a new and upgraded suspension system. 

BMW 640 - Size Matters

Third on our list is the 2015 BMW 640. The 640 starts at an MSRP of $76,100 and is well worth every penny. It has 315 horsepower and is one of the largest coupes that we will talk about measuring in with a cargo capacity of 16.2 cubic feet. It gets 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway which keeps it in line with most of the other BMW models. It seats 4 passengers and has many safety features including stability control, knee airbags, overhead airbags, anti-lock brakes and many others.

It comes in an 8 speed automatic option and can be bought with rear wheel only or 4 wheel drive. The 640 has a beautiful design both inside and out. The first thing that you will notice about it is its elegant yet aggressive look. It has comfortable front seats and is much roomier than the other models. The 640 offers one of the best combinations of driving performance and passenger comfort that your money can buy. Next, we will talk about the two most expensive coupes that BMW has releases for the year.

BMW 650 - Size and Power

The 2015 BMW 650 is similar to the 640 in many ways, but it focuses on performance and in a big way. It is listed at an MSRP of $87,400, making it the 2^nd most expensive coupe that we will talk about here. It has the highest horsepower that we have mentioned so far coming in at 445. It has 16.2 cubic feet of cargo space which keeps it on par with the 640 as far as roominess goes. It seats 4 passengers and can be bought with rear wheel or 4 wheel drive types. Although it is the largest and most powerful car on our list so far, it struggles in one category which is its fuel efficiency. It gets 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway which puts it next to last in our top 5 most expensive BMW coupes here.

BMW M6 - The Cream of the Crop

Last but certainly not least, we have the most expensive 2015 BMW coupe, the BMW M6. The M6 is listed at a whopping $111,900 making it the only BMW coupe to start at a price point in the 6 figures. It tops out with 560 horsepower which makes it far and away the most powerful car on our list. It seats 4 with 16.2 cubic feet of cargo space. It gets 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. It is the worse car to choose if you are concerned about fuel efficiency, however, if you are going to spend this much on a vehicle, I can't say how much of a concern that really should be for you. If you are looking for the absolute best in performance from BMW, the M6 is the car to own.

Summary

Overall, the M6 cannot be match in performance. If you are looking for something a little more affordable and practical, the 640 may be the best option to consider. The release of the 435 allows BMW lovers to own a new vehicle without spending a fortune. BMW offers a wide selection of coupes so that you will be able to find exactly what you want no matter what your preferences and budget is.
