We do not consider the M440i to be amongst the two trims mentioned above, even though all the three trims belong to the 2021 BMW 4 Series. Even officially, the M sport versions are considered differently. The M440i is a standalone trim as a sport version of the BMW 4 Series.

"The M440i xDrive's spectacular inline-six can't quite make up for the rest of the car." - Caranddriver

The 2021 BMW M440i is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-L gasoline engine. This 3.0-L engine churns out 382 hp and 364 lb-ft of peak torque and comes mated to an 8-speed automatic Steptronic gearbox. The car comes with an AWD drivetrain. The power to weight ratio of the vehicle is great and results in brisk acceleration and impressive performance.

Push the car into the corners, or drive it in a sedate manner, the engine will always have optimum performance output for every situation.

BMW’s xDrive AWD system puts down the power most efficiently eliminating any wheelspin at the launch and thus the M440i is the quickest of the lot closely followed by the AMG C43 which takes 4.5 seconds to reach 60mph. Audi S5 takes 5 seconds dead as the DSG gearbox holds back some of the power at the launch to protect its internals

The Mercedes AMG C43 is the most powerful coupe here but it is the Audi S5 coupe that offers the most bang for the buck, at least on paper in terms of horsepower per dollar. With that said, the performance is strong for the most part. If the performance figures are taken into consideration, the BMW M440i works out to be one of the fastest vehicles in the segment.
