Let’s learn how to draw a BMW M4, one of the most beautifully designed and performance-oriented coupe cars in the class.

The BMW M4 has all essential features of any cool coupe car, such as a low and sloping roof, large wheels, strong arches, and long hood.

In this tutorial, we’ll draw all these features in a very realistic stye using really simple techniques.

Basically, the BMW M4 is a high-performance version of the BMW 4 series, so you can use this tutorial to draw a BMW 4 series, i4, or a 5 door gran coupe version.

How to draw a BMW M4: step-by-step tutorial

Step 1 – Depict the outline of the BMW

Begin with the basics and depict the body of the car using very light lines. Define the long hood, flat roof, and sloping roof. Don’t make the lines too dark or add details on this stage.

Step 2 – Add the front and rear wheel arches

Now, detail the bottom the car, tracing the bottom edge and creating the wheel arches. The wheel arches should be identical in size and shape. Locate them close to the front and rear edges of the car.

Step 3 – Draw the BMW M4 headlight and taillight

On the front of the car, draw the headlight and detail the front bumper. After that, draw the rear bumper in detail and depict the taillight. Then, draw the spoiler on the top of the trunk.

Step 4 – Detail the top of the car

Using long and smooth lines, trace the hood and roof of the car. After that, draw the windshield and add the antenna on the roof. After that, draw the window frame using long and smooth lines.

Step 5 – Define the windows and mirror

Let’s detail the windows of the car and draw pillars. Then, draw the side mirror on the front section of the window frame. After that, draw the handle. Here you can draw another window for the five-door version.

Step 6 – Draw the door of your BMW M4

It’s time to make the body more detailed. To do this, draw the BMW M4 door using long and thin lines. Again, you can draw another door for another version of the body. Sketch additional decorative lines and elements.

Step 7 – Draw the BMW M4 wheels and rims

First, draw the BMW M4 wheel outlines using two perfectly round shapes. Next, draw the edges of the rims inside the outlines of the wheels. After that, mark the very center of the rims and depict the spokes diverging from the center to the edges.

Step 8 – Remove the construction lines

Now remove all unnecessary construction lines from the BMW M4 drawing and outline the entire sketch using darker and clearer lines. Also, here you can add final details for more realism.

Step 9 – Add shadows and highlights to the BMW

Now is the time to give your BMW M4 drawing a realistic look by adding colors or shading. Your task now is to create a sense of light and shadow in your sketch. Additionally, you can add highlights to glass surfaces using hatching.

As we have already said above, BMW M4 is a variation of BMW 4 series, so it’s time to draw other versions using this lesson. You can also try to draw BMW 8 series, a car even more powerful and luxurious.

It is worth noting that cars in this body often have very similar parameters, so if you have completed this lesson, then other drawings of cars in a coupe body will be much easier for you in the future.

This body is characterized by sloping shapes, low stance, relatively large wheels and, of course, the characteristic smooth roof and the presence of a single door on each side.

It is also typical for cars with a coupe body that the more luxurious the car, the more pronounced these features are.
