BMW M4 Competition Rental in Orange County
The BMW M4 Competition in blue with a black interior is a Prometheus Exotics rental based in Orange County, the quiet, grown up choice of the four M4 Competitions we keep there, factory paint rather than a shouting colour. All wheel drive runs the same 3.4 seconds to sixty as its louder siblings, booked by a renter who wants restraint, not volume.
How It Drives
All wheel drive is the mechanism, and it is the reason the numbers undersell how the car feels. Power from the twin turbo straight six arrives as a rising wall of thrust that keeps building well past where a turbocharged engine usually flattens out, and xDrive puts it down without any wheelspin to manage. Climb Newport Coast Drive toward Pelican Hill and the car simply gathers speed without drama, which is the point of this particular blue and black car more than any of its siblings. The chassis is stiff enough that you read the road surface through the seat rather than the wheel. Switch to Sport Plus and the exhaust opens and the gearbox holds gears, then switch back to Comfort and it is a BMW again.
How It Photographs
Blue over black is the grown up way to have this M4, and it photographs as a serious car rather than a loud one. The blue is deep enough to read almost black in low light and then show real color the moment sun hits the flank, which gives two different looks from one afternoon shooting along Newport Coast Drive. The oversized kidney grille is the shape people argue about, so frame the car from three quarters rather than head on and it stops dominating the shot. The black cabin keeps the interior quiet in frame, which is what separates this car's photos from the red and yellow cabins parked beside it in our lot.
Why This One
This is the grown up M4 of the four we run in Orange County. Factory blue over black, no aftermarket color, no bright cabin to explain to a valet. It reads as a car somebody owns rather than a car somebody hired, which suits business content, a client dinner in Irvine, or anything where the yellow or Miami Blue car would say too much. Same all wheel drive and the same 3.4 second run to sixty as the Miami Blue and yellow cars in this lineup. The difference between them is entirely volume, and this is the quiet end of it, which is exactly why it anchors this cell of our fleet.
What's On This One
This M4 Competition is finished in blue over a black interior, running the xDrive all wheel drive system and the eight speed automatic standard to the Competition trim. Carbon roof weave, quad exhaust tips and staggered 19 and 20 inch wheels come standard on this trim, along with the M Sport seat unless a specific build carries the optional carbon buckets. Four seats and a full trunk carry passengers and gear the way any Competition in this group does. What sets this car apart from the other three is entirely the paint and the cabin, factory blue over black rather than a color BMW never intended to be quiet.
