The M4 Coupé Competition is listed under the high-performance SEVs category. The M4 Convertible, Touring and CSL are listed separately. Always verify the exact variant against the Department of Infrastructure SEVs Register before booking — variants are listed VIN-range by VIN-range.

For an Australian buyer the LCT often exceeds duty and GST combined — it is the single biggest cost driver on UK luxury-vehicle imports.
No. Australian Border Force values vehicles using global price databases (CarGurus, AutoTrader UK, BMW UK list price) and will reassess undervalued declarations with penalty. Always declare actual price paid; if the price genuinely is below market, supply purchase contract and bank evidence.
