M4 F82 new addition to the fleet!
Discussion
I Sold the m135i (F20 LCI) a couple of weeks ago and have replaced it with an M4 F82. I finally gave in to my temptations. Ive wanted one since they came out and was going to go Yas Marina but I decided something a bit different was the right thing to do.
Having enjoyed for 5 months owning a lovely M135i and 2 Euro road trips covered, I gave in to my emotions and decided to buy an M4 which I had really wanted.
Its bold spec but I think it works very well. Im done with greys and silvers and decided something more fun was the way to go.
The spec of the car is a step up on m135's as well. Electric seats (better shape) heated seats etc the HK stereo is a fair bit better than the HK in the m135 as well.
Other goodies like rear camera, full leather doors and dash, head up display, parking package and lane warning are some of the extras that will no doubt be difficult to do without on the next car!
San Marino Blue -its just stunning. Its an M6 colour and Ive loved it everytime I see one in that colour. BMW nailed it with this colour. The colour reminds me of the blues and royals horse guards.
Power- 110hp more than the m135i so no surprise it is quick! For sure it can chew back tyres versus the 322hp m135i actually had pretty good traction. The engine noise sounds reasonably good, its not m3 v8 goodness but its quite a barky 6 cylinder. Very different from the m135i. I do like both noises. Exhaust is standard and probably wont fiddle as its a daily car and no need for that at the moment.
In comparison to the late model 2016 M135i, the M4 is of course a much more grown up car. The chassis composure and aggressive engine noise is a clear message that this is a bigger and more expensive car.
Bumpy b roads are much improved albeit Ive not had any crests to go over with change of direction and I shall be wary given my m4 is not a competition pack car. The composure over bumps versus the m135 is significant.
