Even though the M440i is not a full-fat M model, it still has a lot going for it. Look past its controversially designed grille and you’ll find an inline-six engine as seen in its bigger brother, albeit with only one turbo and significantly less punch. 369 horsepower (382 hp in the US) is nothing to sneeze at, and we could say the same thing about torque – at 500 Newton-meters.

A new video from AutoTopNL shows what those output numbers mean in terms of real-life performance, at least when it comes to accelerating in a straight line. The new M Performance version of the revamped 4 Series Coupe was put through its paces on an unrestricted section of Germany’s glorious Autobahn. In other words, no speed laws were broken in the making of this video. Follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
