F80 M3 / F82 M4 at the Calgary Autoshow

biglare · 03-25-2014, 11:15 AM

Thanks for the pics! I'm loving the yellow on the M3! The wheels do appear to be all black in certain lighting.

Nice.

BimmerNFS · 03-25-2014, 11:29 AM

I wish BMW would show Sakhir Orange more on the M3/4

Maddict3 · 03-25-2014, 11:45 AM

How does the M4 look compared to the 435?

M3Power79 · 03-25-2014, 11:46 AM

I like the "silver" wheels more than the black ones that look a bit "cheaper" and less premium - more tuning...
In fact the silver ones are not silver but Ferric grey which i like on existing BMW wheels.
I've ordered my M4 in Mineral White with these wheels and hope to see one before in goes in production last week of june.
I like also Alpine White but it hides a bit more the stance of the car compared with the metallic paint.

The wheels are actually two tone. Silver and Ferric Grey, which makes them look very upscale IMO.

Thank you for sharing but I am sure you will understand when I say "oh Yeahhh another set of show pictures with YMB and AYB because the previous dozen shows did not give me enough looks of these combos. Early adopters will just have go with the flow on other combos

jaehshim · 03-25-2014, 12:12 PM

been to all NY motor show for many yrs,
always thought it was too big, like you'd have 1 car then u walk 3 miles then there's another car lol but it's good because there's always so many ppl
this one, calgary (CA right?) feels like autoshow of 80s somehow lol

I would have loved to see at least one show car with the standard, non-CCB. I don't know why BMW is hiding them. A 4/2 fixed Brembo setup with cross-drilled steel rotors is nothing to be ashamed of.

M Passion · 03-25-2014, 12:18 PM

Really don't like the combo color with the calipers on the M3...Anyone know if is possible to choise the calipers color?? All I know is that gold calipers are only for composite brakes and blu calipers for standard.

Because the calipers that come with the non-CCB are the same calipers used in the F30 M Performance Big Brake Kit, there are additional caliper colors available.

The colors include: red, orange, and yellow. I'm guessing you would have to buy these calipers independently and then have them installed. I had the yellow/gold calipers on my old F30 M Sport 335i.

I wonder why none of these show cars come with the shadow line exterior? The matte plastic looks so cheap. Hope that's not standard in the US.

CiprianS · 03-25-2014, 03:05 PM

I am getting tired to see only AY and YMB M3's and M4's! I can't remember seeing other colors except that grey M4 at Houston Auto Show! It is just like BMW is trying to do a brain wash on us with those 2 colors...

got to be the ugliest shades of these colors in the market. it is sad the marketing dept is designing bmw cars now

Denk · 03-25-2014, 07:10 PM

Nice pics, my least favorite colors though. The e9x color options walk all over what BMW is offering on the f8x.

georgere · 03-25-2014, 07:59 PM

anyone understands what's the suspension upgrade for? I mean it used to be that M3 was the ultimate driving machine. You could add AT/DCT and leather but bare-bones car was all an enthusiast would need.
Now, M3/4 come with some basic suspension and you can upgrade with optional factory sportier suspension.
Can anyone explain?

Have a look in this thread. The YMB M3 from the Detroit car show has the blue calipers with iron rotors.

damnitBobby · 03-25-2014, 11:39 PM
