Very fair review. I have a 2016 BMW M4 with Competition Package / M Performance Exhaust here in Austin Texas and I absolutely love it......puts a smile on my face every day 😀

I owned one of these magnificent cars for two years. It was a simply amazing car and head turner. You have to treat it with respect but is a lot of fun to drive.

Good video - enjoyed it. I pick up my M4 comp on Wednesday! 🥳

Great review. The bhp figures you quoted were a bit out - the regular M4 are actually 431 bhp and the new Comp version is 13 bhp more at 444 bhp, it all counts and like you say there are a host of differences - it’s the Comp for me ! 👍

Stef, great video. I've owned both cars. They both are different and great in there own way. The alfa qv has better balance and phenomenal steering and pulls hard at the top. The m4 pulls like a train down low. I sold the alfa I kept the m4. Dealer network complete trash. They dont even have loaner cars they send you to enterprise rent a car. I shop 4 bays for alfa and Maserati. The alfa doesn't get going all the time until your half way through second or going into 3rd. That sucks. The bmw always has power. Alfa depreciation is awful. The m4 market is so much stronger. The alfa is a great car. In time I will give them another chance.

What is the rear seat room like in the M4? Note the QV has heated steering wheel. Edit: a KZfaq reviewer called Fezza has had a lot of reliability issues his standard M4.

I Love the carbon fibre bits in the interior! It's a real neat finish 💪

Just amazing ❤️

Love the M4! So much more aggressive 🔥

i just loved the intro on the M2 competition you should do it for the m4 aswell ;

Both m4/3 comp and alfa QV are briliant

I cannot comprehend how the same BMW e46 are churning out cars that sounds like an amplified electric motor, that synthetic sound does not sound mechanical and appears bulky. However, my limitation are that I have not driven both cars....I will take the Alfa, it evokes emotions and sounds more like a mechanical propelled vehicle. Brilliant comparison Stef.

I think the non Comp pack cars have more like 425hp don’t they? Not 400?

I have the exactly same m4 competition. It's really fun to drive. But the stupidest design of this car is my s10+ is too big to fit into the wireless charging pad :(

In my opinion, they might be close performance wise, but when it comes to look and the present m4 is the winner for me. I believe M4 f82 is the best-looking bmw

Is amazing but stil prefer the Giulia!! And remembering that in a few months the new version of Giulia will be presented!

Good review, got the m3 cs and love him, sound all of it. And the style is perfect.

Has this got a GPF filter in it?

Horrible sound inside the cabin because of the Active sound design (sound coming from speakers) you can disable via coding your car with Carly Pro for exemple

Evening stef it's the Alfa for me all day long, the Beemer doesn't get a look in. By the way, was the sound generator in the Beemer switched on because the sound of the engine from the inside sounded strange. Regards Simon.

This Clip going back a few years but for peoples interest. Went to the dealer to test drive a Quadrifoglio, came home with a BMW M4 Competition after driving both back to back. Preferred the low down torque and brutish nature of the M4 over the Alfa. I also wanted a car that I could go hard on the track. BMW just build for punishment. But Both cool cars, just depends on the driver and driver preferences.

I think both are beautiful cars

I own that Very car same color 2020 M4 Comp without the carbon Fiber Brakes I can tell you the first thing that needs to be done on these cars is to TURN OFF the "Active Sound" I did it with a Burger Tuning JB4, and get VRSF Cat-less Downpipes Then the Car is a BEAST! The drone of that Stupid Active sound drove me crazy, It now sounds like an F1 car. The active sound tried to make it sound like a V8, but fake. That fake active sound comes from the Subwoofers by the way.

Wow a m4 never seen one before

Both great drivers cars, although we are comparing a 4-door sedan with a coupe....for me the answer is easy....QV! Just wait for the coupe version of QV....then we can compare properly. Alfa is also only on their 1st version which means still a lot to refine...isn’t it....

When I took the M3 into the dealer to get my annual maintenance I got a 2019 M340i loaner for the day not too shabby and it was all new tech inside....not an M car but not bad at all know what they give you as a loaner when you bring your QV in......? A fiat 500 or a chrysler 300 LMAO

Yes, agreed! 🍀😍👍

My dream car

Am I the only person who watches these videos and hasn't previously owned this car, the previous model, all the competitors and knows all the ins and outs of all of them?

Just wait till the new M4 comes out, later in 2020, using the same format of the new modeled M340i. And if they use the same Xdrive system, which I'm sure they will use (As in the M5!), it's going to be a truly stunning car. So, begs the question. Have you driven the new model M340i with BMW's new 7th gen infotainment system? If not, why not? And if not, when are you going to drive it? Great video Stef. Good to see a Brit driving a British, RHD version of the M4 too.

Pick mine up today 😃

M4 comp will always hold its money well the Alfa won’t,I think personally the M car takes some beating

Ciao Stef. I check carefully your video. Sound much better Alfa🍀 Price Alfa is little bit cheaper. Interior quality little bit better BMW Steering much better Alfa🍀 Exterior Alfa🍀 is better. You are very professional👍👍 very good review

Bmw depreciation is horrible but the alpha is catastrophic, mainly because of all the mechanical and electrical issues. Dealer support on the alpha is lacking as well. I really like the body style on the alpha but the interior is where you live and it is subpar at best. My nod goes to the m4. Btw, I roll in a f13 m6 coupe.

Great and informative video. All BMW M are good cars with pleasant engines. However there is much passion with Alfa Romeo. And the sound of the Quadrifoglio is much better with a design that any BMW will never have. BMW will be an option if Alfa Romeo is focusing on SUV's in the near future.

Quality review. Nearly on par with Joe Ach😉

Nice video as always and an honest opinion though the comparison is rather tough as the one is a 4 door sports saloon and the other a 2-door sports saloon with about 60 HP deficit in favor for the Giulia Q. Personally, I would not change my Giulia Quadrifoglio for an M4 Competition alone for the emotional part, the nimbleness and driver thrills that the Alfa offers against its competition when it is driven as it should. The Giulia Q platform literally feels like it dances on the tarmac while accelerating and changing gears while the M4 makes you think of the application of robotics and mechatronics in car design and construction. I have test driven both the M3 Comp and the M4 Comp. Both of them work without a doubt but in a clinical manner but I do prefer the M3. In the end of the day, it all boils down to what you want: warm or cold technology. Both are amazing cars and within fairly acceptable price ranges considering the segment and what they offer. Rather irrelevant to this video but here it goes: have you tried to test the new MY 2020 Audi RS7? Obiously this car fills another bracket compared to the Giulia Q and the M4 Comp but I'd say that I was pretty impressed. It is a machine I would drive anyday, would I be in the market for a 4 door sports saloon made in Germany. It's only a pity that a well spec'ed RS7 is that expensive.

🍀♥️

I do like the look of the M4 sounds nice as well.

Its a handsome coupe. It has all the performance specialties one would expect from a M car. I still prefer the Alfa Romeo.

いい音！

Im not a big fan of the Alfa, gotta be the m4 for me

Now drive the 6MT and compare to DCT version and see the difference.

Is there a hint of fake sound in there? Sounds a bit synthetic.

Both cars are great. Alfa is let down by reliability, quality and dealer network but I do love the QV. I know Alfa lovers say they are reliable but if you look on the forums , the reviews and the warranty data it's just not true but I wish it were.

Coupe 2 door styling is a win for me. Perpetual development too. Let’s not mention after sales support & dealer coverage!!

The noise in the cabin sounds sooooo fake

📝

As far as I know the m4 is no where near 1500kg as you said. It's more like 1650-1700kg. Even my e46 is not much less than 1500kg. The alfa Romeo has a more interesting engine in my opinion. The s55 is a bit boring and soulless. The previous generations had much better engine s54/s65. But the build quality and feel of the bmw would be much better than the alfa. The only new bmw I like is the m2, m4 is huge, more like a american muscle car.

5:23 the Ricky from LLF lean there

So many reviews complain about Alfa’s Race Mode switching off traction control. Even in Race mode, it not totally off. It’s a driver’s car and driver’s cars put the car in the hands of the driver. Alfa all the way 🤙🏼🍀

What if Alfa came out with the competition Giulia?

It's rather sad to think the Giulia is even on the same level as the M4. Pathetic. M4 is king everyday.

Great review Stef 😎 I have to say the Alpha for me is a better car 👍🏻 the M4 is nice but the Alpha is a Beast !!

Its true, in this World, there are Heroes and there are posers....chose...

What once was BMW M now needs "Competition Pack" to be as good as Alfa Giulia - BMW M rival. Either BMW watered down M division, or Alfa really made some brilliant car worth chasing by others.

This plastic engine sound from speakers... Horrible ...

In answer to your question.... HELL NO!

60k on autotrader 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Depreciation on the Alfa is eye watering! A good value used option as they head sub 30k in 2020. The Alfa is rare and noisy so gets the thumbs up

M4 🔥🔥 it’s beautiful, reliable, better build quality, more fun, refined, etc....

Alfa Romeo have been producing cars for approx 20yrs longer than BMW, that's why they're generally more fabled. With a racing pedigree, which can only be envied by even Ferrari's own accomplishments. God bless the Italian automotive industry, yet I'd never doubt the capabilities of the German car industry either.

It doesn’t make sense! 😂

Dont forget the New M4 is also on the way......

QV 0-62MPH In 3.9 top speed 191mph BMW 0-62MPH in 4.1 top speed 155mph

A 2015 year Porsche 911 for the same price is a drivers car and sounds better 🤷🏽‍♂️

The Alfa rules. Best sedan ever

Stef...you're awesome, the Alfa has made significant strides in the segment with the Gulia, it is a well accomplished machine that like the golf MK5 came from nowhere and instantly became the talk of town. However, just like the well accompliished Audi, the Alfa, is the bastard child. It simply has a very longway to go untill it can compete with the german trio pound for pound, this amazing machine is not selling, the numbers on the road are very insignificant because consumers simply see the Alfa for what it is. Believe it or not, this amazing machine will soon be discontinued just like the 4c..Alfa makes amazing beautiful characterful cars that have zero value, simply what we can call, beauty with no brain cars... This M4 may be slower but simply is untouchable by the Alfa..

BMW M4 is coupè, Giulia is sedan.

Sounds awful

i’m a massive BMW fan and currently have a 6 series coupe (amazing interior) but the dash in the M4 is just the same as the 1 series. it’s very cheap looking in my opinion.

The Giulia also looks better.

Really no point in comparing the two cars, the QV could be half the price and twice the car and still "the sheep" will follow each other into the BMW dealers to pick up their M4. Personally it is the Alfa for me!

*Nah mate 4doors are better*

Giulia all the way long.

wtf

M4 all day long. Friend of mine rejected two brand new Alfas. due to the bumper and fuel flap being a different shade to the rest of the car.Nearly asked for his deposit back. 2000 miles later he wished he had. The car needed a new diff and guess what. Alfa didn't have any. when it finally went in, the dealer lent him a diesel fiat. Complete shower. Cars have the build quality of a wet Kleenex.

Alfa everyday.

nothing is better than the alfa!

Worst sounding inline 6 bmw has ever made.

NÜRNBURGRING: GIULIA Q: 7:32 MINUTES M4: 7:52 MINUTES RIP BMW.
