New M4 on the way.

[JustChris]

Long day collecting today. 500 mile round trip! Well worth it for the TRL service, great car guy. He’s had it ceramic coated and detailed too (not charged for this)
Short review PERFECTION
Adding MXDrive is a revelation Vs F87, F80, F82 I had.

Same for the ZF, no cold start DCT lurching and you can creep or Auto Hold of course, so damn convenient and more civilised. Flawless.

Not a very M comment but Driving Assistant Pro is an absolute revelation and transforms the cars dual ability. Motorway miles home x220 were the most relaxed I’ve ever driven. It’s magic.

Took the family out to fill up when home and have it a 3/4 send. Plenty of noise and drama, missed this!

Heading to bed after an early and PT tomorrow but getting up an hour early, Sunday morning, clear roads 😍

The looks have deceived for a while too long for many, it’s an absolute peach of a platform.

Same here. I’ve always liked the looks. Entertaining reading all the nay-sayers comments going from “they’ve ruined it. I’m never buying one” to “I’ve placed a deposit”.

Lovely car, liked the front as soon as I saw it, aged the F80 straight away!

That looks amazing, congrats, I'm very jealous!

We need a good old report into what its like Chris, I have heard they are superb to drive. I also think the M4 is better looking than the M3 on this model, which I was leaning towards the M3 on the previous model!

That is simply stunning, well played sir.

Congratulations Chris. That looks awesome. I think they’ve nailed the front end on the new 4.
Is it a year since you sold the F-type? Wow!

I can remember his F type being due to arrive. I do not remember any reports on what it was like????

Apologies for the delay, been on my travels...

Absolutely loving that colour Chris and whilst everything is a personal taste thing, I do find that to be the most complimentary colour I have seen so far for the shape of the car... with he black trim and wheels it (to me, and I am sure to you, also) just works...

As an aside, I happened to be in the dealer yesterday (I trashed one of my alloy wheels and was getting the repair/replace options priced... I am not being too hard on myself... shit happens from time to time...)... Things seem, if anything, getting worse out there for people ordering new cars.... and I think the days of discounts (on factory orders, at least) are going to go... I suspect we will be moving to a system of set retail prices and that's be that, for factory orders.,.. Of course, cars in stock, then there may be some wriggle room...

The problem for me, with BMW's, is that the many ways in which you can spec a car with/without various options leads me more into the factory order line, rather than stick cars... But that may change in future...

What was interesting to me, being in the dealers, was a) how quiet it was (loads of space in the car park etc) and b) that many of the cars on the showroom floor were not available for sale as they were BMW's cars, not the dealers cars ordered in... so there was not much unregistered stock to deal on... (there was a pretty nice low mileage white M135i for anybody interested in one of those)...

I'm rambling, sorry...

Nice car.... Looking forwards to reading your thoughts...
