The exterior design of the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition 2016 is inspired by DTM racing cars and it will be exclusively available in Alpine White. To fuse more sportiness to its touring car looks, the maker has added carbon fibre inserts and elements to the M4. The carbon fibre treatment can be seen on the front splitter, ORVM caps, aero flicks of the front wheel arches, side skirt, and the rear diffuser, as well as the rear wing. On the inside, the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition 2016 gets Alcantara lining.

Behind the front bucket seats of the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition, a white rollover bar replaces the rear seat system making it a two-seater machine. In addition to other components, the bonnet, roof, instrument panel support and rear diffuser are made from carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). The end silencer of the double-flow sports exhaust system featuring two pairs of tailpipes is made of lightweight titanium. The M Sports steering wheel gets a grey ‘12 o’clock’ marker.
