2017 BMW M4 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 BMW M4 describes a two-door car built two ways, convertible and coupe, around one turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with double overhead camshafts running on gasoline, in a single Base trim. One engine means one set of boost, fuel and cooling specifications; two bodies mean the structural and trim procedures split partway through. Torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic sequences are given per system, so the reading follows the repair rather than the model line.

Engines covered

• 3.0L inline-six — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 2-door convertible
• 2-door coupe

Trims covered

• Base

Known issues on the 2017 M4. Three recalls are on the federal record. One is mechanical: the connection between the driveshaft and its flange can fail, taking drive to the rear wheels with it. The other two describe the same fault in different production batches, a seat-mounted side air bag whose inflator initiator may not ignite in a crash, leaving that bag undeployed. Two owner complaints are recorded, both against the power train. Driveline overhaul and the restraint system's wiring and diagnostics are both covered in this manual.
