Is that really an M4?! It looks like an ordinary 4 series to me. I have to agree with Mr Wilks, modern M cars just dont look special at all, they could all pass for run of the mill ?18i/d etc in M Sport trim.
Honestly I think your car in the background is much more eye catching/striking, but I biased, I I do love silver cars! :)

Duplicated post (which would have meant that you would have seen those words often!)

Yep I think the op's brother is getting a bit over excited, that ain't no m4! One of these oh I have an M... Sport 420d types? Deary me :oops:
Here's my neighbours m4 for reference. Note the 4 pipes, deep dish rears and completely different rear bumper. Also his rear discs are not drilled which a real m4 definitely has.
Did he honestly tell you he'd bought an M4? :lol:

Can't see the point of having two cars the same colour. If you want a different coloured zed change the car but silver and red look good to me

That’s not an M4 OP, but either way it’s a non-M 4 Series.

If you want to try out a new colour, I’d suggest you get it wrapped. This will cost you circa £1,000 and will not devalue your car (as you can always take it off come re-sale). A proper paint job is around £5,000 and is just not worth it imo.
