F82 M4 Coupe

[LeeZ4MR]

Great looking car Lee , was out with a friend last weekend in his M4 , lovely motor
When the time comes to part with the RS the M4 is one of only 3 cars i would consider , the 981 Cayman & 991 911 being the other 2 .

Thanks bud.

I bet that your TTRS is an absolute flying machine for sure.

Another who loves the colour.

Looks great Lee. Great colour! Glad your really chuffed with it!

Was there a reason for the M4 over the comp? Doesn't seem like a huge price gap and good low milage comps with carbon packs being around 35-40 they look great value for money.

Ive been thinking along the same lines as I have two dogs now and the Z4M just sits in the garage as we never leave the dogs behind. We could get away with having one on my partners knee with a seatbelt attachment as they are cockapoos. I don't have a lot of time to use it as a weekend car as we have a second house we spend most weekends traveling up and take the dogs... the Z4M has done 400 miles since November...

Been looking at an M3 for the convenience of 4 doors and really like the squat back of the saloon body. The noise on tick over is something that is also something to try and get over. What's it like as an experience? the big worry is that apart from planting your foot its a 3 series. The thing about the Z4M is that it feels special and has the sense of occasion, does the M4 still feel like that? I haven't driven one and probably need to.

Same on my list is a 991 as dads had one a couple of years and its just a fabulous car just incredible at everything and has 4 seats, but the dogs would ruin it getting in and out and would probably ruin the ownership experience for me bit of a big price difference with decent ones being 50-60k.

Thanks so much Tom.

M4 or M4 Comp was a difficult one for me to be honest. I prefer the chrome exhaust tips on the M4 in comparison to the black ones on the Comp, and I just love a bit of Autosol polishing lol! I also personally prefer the wheel design of the 19's over the 20's on the Comp(however I didn't realise until after I got it that you can get the Comp with the 19" wheels though). I also had a difficult experience with the 20" wheels on the 640d I had(such a terrible ride) and I always said after that I would choose a smaller wheel if I have the option. I also believe that the boost is limited in the lower gears in the Comp and I'm happy to have a wilder ride in the M4 for some reason!

What I would've liked with the M4 Comp is the extra 19bhp and they also come with a sports exhaust as standard which I also find desirable. San Merino Blue was a must for me though and I spotted this one and just decided to go for it. I hope that gives you a little bit of insight into my decision making.

In terms of it feeling special that is always difficult because the M3/M4 are built to be very good all round cars so they are a compromise I reckon. However I'm really happy with it and I get a lot of satisfaction from just looking at it and the performance is awesome for sure.

Cheers.

Very Nice indeed

Thanks very much both.

I've loved the colour(San Marino Blue) ever since I first saw it on a BMW M6.

Yeah, one of my favourite colours in the M4,San Marino is very nice ....my mate recently bought a 10 months old one with 2k miles on ,with the light grey leather in it, which also works well with the blue.
They don't half shift,at just over 4 seconds to 62, and as you say,pulls well all over the rev range.

Nice one,enjoy

[LeeZ4MR]

Thank you both.

I do really like the blue exterior/light interior combination as well(had that combo in the 640d), but decided this time with 2 kids that the black interior will be a little easier to maintain though. The 640 had cream carpets and cream mats as well and they were a nightmare to keep clean as you can imagine!

My mates....

Gorgeous.

Thanks for the pic.

I had a E92 M3 back in 2013 that I didn't get along with overall(relative low torque/a chunky kerbweight/max power at 8300rpm). So when the M4 came out I've wanted one ever since(far better brakes/lots of torque/more performance).

That’s a lovely looking car. You’ll have loads of fun with it!

Outside of the noise, the Alpina B3 was probably a better overall package in the E9x series. The S version wasn’t far off the power of the next gen M3/M4. The torque from virtually no revs makes these feel so fast compared to the older N/A cars.

Yes and I've always admired the B3 for sure. It is definitely my type of car in comparison to the older N/A cars(torque definitely seems to float my boat rightly or wrongly!).

Yeah,would be my choice of colour too.
Amazing how much these can be bought for,less than a year old at £46k with competition pack,m pack etc and all the toys possible,new list was well over 70k !!

I would have one too,if not for the need for something a bit more practical for family transport...hence why me and the wife went for a new Merc AMG 250 SUV,at 40k.
We both would rather had the M4,lol.

Next car after the Merc will be something along those lines, hopefully.

I live the M4 cs,but they sure are expensive compared to a Standard M4/competition,etc.
Big jump in price fir those, though they are lovely too.
Someone on here has bought an m4cs not too long ago,in same colour. It's a beauty.

If only, haha.
Enjoy

I had my M4 since September last year , it’s a great all rounder and it’s pretty frugal to run

Quick and well balanced , it does all things well.

Mine did close to 440bhp on the rollers and it’s common that the M4 non comp and comp can overlap in power in standard trim.. mine pulls on my mates 2017 comp consistently, I half think it’s the 20’s that cause that ..

If you want the car to start with flaps open..

Ignition on, press sport button twice, press throttle pedal and then start the car.

Gives a nice morning bark

Your M4 looks stunning in that colour Lee.

Very nice and yours looks lovely for sure.

Thanks for the tip regarding the start up.
