M3 M4 Launch

[Trawler]

Anybody been/going?

[s.mac]

Yep but only because my car is in the showroom for the launch

I've been invited to test drive them so will see what they are like

Loved the M3 and the M4 ain't bad either!

Cooper Cobham have got both in Sapphire Black - Test drove the M4 this morning - M3 does look good too! :drool: :smt023

They were both in the same colour mate. It was too busy so test drive booked for mid week. They had already sold a few

The sales guy thought they looked better in other colours.

You know me, I have a fetish for SB :gayfight:
Yes do look good in other colours, as you can't see the colour splits, mirrors etc.
Very different sound.....

What did you think of it? Bland, too refined, fast? Would be interested in your thoughts.

Hi tbh I got 15 minutes in Saturday morning traffic, first day of the launch in the M4, had 40 miles on the clock, cold etc. Am arranging to go back for a mid week run in the next couple of weeks.... Initial impression felt very responsive, refreshingly different exhaust note, very torquey....

Am excited to try one - will wait for the initial rush to die down. The issue with buying one brand spanking new is that the depreciation will be galactic.

E92's at the moment, however, are a crazy bargain.

I had an extended, full on test drive in a Black M3 (by choice) few weeks ago on some twisty A - B roads Pete :thumbs:
Truly impressive in a straight line... less so through the corners as TC light was On through every corner, even in the M1 mode. DCT g/box is a perfect match for the Twin Turbo Straight 6 and proper brake callipers at last :smt023 Oh and there's a very sexy CF strut brace :smt055
A CSL replacement it most certainly is not ... but a practical CSL Support Vehicle & a daily grinder... Yes please, make mine in "Yas Marina Blue" Thank you please ... Good effort BMW :thumbs: Few pix from the day

Nice - YMB M3 for me too :thumbs:

Nice - YMB M3 for me too :thumbs:

The closest colour to "Laguna Saca Blue" :smt055 which can also be optioned out (at great expense) through the BMW Individual program :smokin:

Thanks
Sat in the yellow one at Elms. Lovely place to sit, but could not believe it was going to be fun so did not bother to follow up with a drive. Strange everyone seems to report the TC light keeps flashing.
Took out a pork :gayfight: for a test drive. Lots of positives, but again the overall experience left me flat.
