The car doesn’t meet stricter European emissions limits.

The company will stop making the car in August since it won’t conform to Europe’s more stringent emissions limits. The car, which makes 431hp from its turbocharged straight-six, needs a new particulate filter to meet the requirements set by the new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP).

The next-generation 3-Series will be revealed in October, so BMW has decided to end the current car’s production alongside the rest of the 3-series range. The M4 and its 4-series siblings will remain on sale into the following year though.

A representative from the company said, the M4 would go off sale “for a couple of months” while it is rehomologated, but that it would return to showrooms with its WLTP-certified filter to meet emission norms.
