Seven day poll for a bit of fun.

Followed a shiny new M4 for several miles home this evening. It was a while before I even realised it was an ///M. Heavy rain so I couldn't make out the tail pipes and badge, until I was stationary behind it at a roundabout. When I did realise what it was my first thought was. Oh is that an M4, very ordinary.

Any one else agree.
 
Looks alright, but I don’t like the blacked out badges on the competition pack, especially on a black car. Love the competition (?) star spoke alloys you sometimes see though, and it sounds brutal under load :driving:

I’d probably still have the M3 though, just looks a bit better.
 
I would love an M4 especially the CS.

They both have the same track, but because the 4 series is already slightly wider than the 3 series, the effect gets lost a bit with the M4, but the M3 looks a bit more dramatic.
 
I like the looks (although I'd possibly also prefer an M3).

But what I don't like is that it doesn't have an engine that is exclusively "M" Division - more like a 440i with a remap, which just doesn't make it special enough for me. :(

THIS^^^^

M division has been so diluted by BMW these days it just doesn't have the significance that it used to 10 years ago. M badged everything.

Hell..I even got some M badged condoms from the main dealer the other day. Looked good with the light blue / dark blue / red ribs, but nowhere near the performance of the old butyl rubber ones that I used to get from the greengrocer with a wink and a cabbage.
 
2 a penny in manc.

Sick of seeing them. They also sound like a washing machine. Apart from the performance they arent even close to what I consider an M car.
 
it looks like every other M car, understated.

I'd say if I could, I'd be in the m3. much better looking thing.

They look good in Austin yellow but sound terrible.

White certainly does not suit them. Can't say I noticed any interesting sound coming from it either. Just another saloon car. Guess that's part of the appeal. Not my cup of tea these days. When I was younger the M3 was an icon I aspired too. Not any more. :(
 
My mate was in his mk3 focus RS, sitting next to one at traffic lights. He said he didn't even realise it was an M4 until it left him for dead.

I didn't believe a 'car guy' wouldn't realise it wasn't an M4, but it seems I was wrong! If i'm honest, they do look quite similar to a normal 4 series.

The question is such stealth a good or a bad thing?

I can except ordinary looking form and Audi, cos I don't like em much any way. But I quite like BM's, so a few machine guns, to back up the speed, would fit my brief. :thumbsup:
 
too sedate in standard guise for my liking. I think they're gorgeous but they lack a little wow factor for me (although it comes back with some of the slightly modded ones I've seen)

If I'm spending that sort of money I want something that's the whole package rather than something I look at in the driveway and think 'yeah that's alright'.

I dunno, I have some sympathy - as a car guy, I've largely given up with keeping track of modern BMWs; there's far too many variants.
