Expected to be revealed in July as a 2022 model, the performance-oriented variant will follow in the footsteps of the fourth-generation Corvette ZR-1 from the 1990s.

A side-by-side comparison with the standard M4 reveals the mystery prototype sits lower to the ground, while its carbon-ceramic brakes and optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 track tyres align with its track-focused intentions.
