F82 M4 Coupe
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).
I've had it a couple of months now and I'm really smitten with it, it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the V8 in the cabin though and the induction noise in the M3 was really addictive. But what you lose in sound you get back in performance because the M4 feels quick all over the revs. The performance has blown me away for sure. Just looking forward to getting to know it more now.
All I've done to it is change the front chrome grills to black gloss OEM ones.
Some pics.

Yeah that really is a stunning colour. I drove an e92 and M4 comp back to back at Donington, the difference in performance was unreal - and as you say although the m4 sound isn't as good as the v8, the noise is somewhat addictive! I hate to sound like a 17 year old but get some aftermarket airfilters fitted, you can hear all sorts of whooshes and flutters etc - that's really rather fun!
Congrats, really lovely car

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

Beautiful looking motor. I had an M3 a few years ago and I couldn't get along with it either.

That looks great Lee. Finally I have seen a car with worse fuel consumption than my X5M, 0.1 miles and your tank is empty

Beautiful car My next door but one neighbour has an Orange one but yours looks much, much nicer in Blue
As much as I like the way it looks imho on start up/idling it sounds truly awful, flat and farty. Better as it moves off but not brilliant. Surely it sounds like it should when giving it some beans ?

I'm totally with you on the noise that it makes on start up/idling/low revs for sure. It does improve over 4k revs when the exhaust flaps open though, but the noise of this generation(and the current generation) certainly is a let down in terms of what has gone before(the N/A engined cars did sound much better I think) for certain.

I do like the M4. Seriously looked at getting a cab recently, just couldn't justify the practicality for what I need as a main car.
My neighbours opposite have a competition cab M4. I think it sounds pretty good from cold tootling up the road.
Never cease to be impressed by the instantaneous gear change from the DCT aswell

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

That is definitely an option for sure!

Ideally I did want a manual, but there aren't all that many about so it does limit your choice a fair bit. I have been really impressed with the DCT up to yet though for sure.Pondrew wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 4:18 pm I do like the M4.

I test drove a M4 Convertible back in 2016 and I did think that it sounded pretty decent with the roof down to be fair.

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 .
