Anyone disappointed?
So I have 2500 miles on my m4,installed DPs,so far I have been disappointed with the M4 ,I think I hastily traded in my e92 M3 for this car,it feels light ,that's ok ,sounds like crap and just does not have the feel of the e92 M3 ,am I the only one with buyers remorse?? I m thinking about trading it in
May be once a tune comes out perhaps it will be more exciting to drive

To each their own. For example, I never thought Angelina Jolie is that hot, but many people would call her a 10.
The new m3 is a 10 in my book. My e92 always felt like an 8 since the first day I picked it up. |

m6 plus 800 lbs. more car = more car. No right or wrong.

I think that the M6 doesn't feel any faster until you're at go to jail speeds and you give up a lot of the tossability for some additional luxury. |

Your would be happier with the E92 M3. here whys.
All the tune is going to do is add more power, its not really going to change the car completely. I would go back to the E92, and put a supercharger on if you feel the need for power. Also if you like the M6, i would go for that. IMO the M6 is the only M car i would buy right now. Many people think the M4 sound like crap BTW. IMO a full exhuast S65 or S85 puts the F10 and F80 to shame in the exhuast department. but if you dont care about sound, they make good power. because it seems as times goes on, all people care about is power. |

I think stock exhaust sounds ok when you leave it stock.
Maybe little bit on quiet side on certain rpm... Problem with stock exhaust is apparent when you start freeing up exhaust gas flow. With my secondary cats delete, I noticed some bad exhaust note at upper rpm range and during cold start (plus incredibly stupid metallic rattle from valve flaps). Mid range rpm still sounds good. I think sound on my exhaust would get really bad across all rpm range if I have both primary and secondary cats deleted. Best thing to do on exhaust system is to either do nothing to it or get quality aftermarket exhaust if you want to make it louder. |

Honestly, my e92 was too heavy to have fun with on track, and likely my f80 will too. My E92 was probably as fast or faster than my Boxster, but the 981 is way more fun. |

This thread sure has been side "tracked" for OP's original topic

I test drove a non CCB M4 with DCT that had an 80 k sticker without full leather . For that price it is not an appealing enough package in my opinion . The chassis is amazing , but the old style McPherson strut front suspension is a huge let down for track use as it has zero camber adjustability . The luxury GT M6 has a more track oriented front suspension geometry. One member used up his front tires on his M4 after one weekend at VIR . For 80 k it should have come either at the initial advertised 33xx weight or had an adjustable uneven A arm suspension like the C7 vette . My two cents . |

OP, that sucks. Been there a few times myself. They're different cars, just sounds like the e92 put a bigger smile on your face. Nothing wrong with that, just different strokes. Best of luck getting that feeling back.
