Welcome to the forum man. I just watched most of your Porsche videos. That really blows, and now you come to BMW and you're having airbag issues.

Good luck with the car, she's gorgeous. And you're never allowed in my car if that somehow happens. hahaha

On the negative side so far the M4 feels heavy, large and unresponsive after the 991. On the positive side it is far more torque, is more comfortable and has a few more toys. I am sure I will get used to it and come to love it.

As expected. Love the new M4 but if I had the choice between the two, I'd go after 991.

Anyways, GL with this vehicle. I hope you don't go through what you went through with 991.

The noise that you can hear when the car comes to a stop is from the new rotors.
It will stop after the little grooves disappear from them.

Has anyone else had the airbag issue?

Hope you had a great weekend my BM friends.

Nick.

Bmw of Bridgeport is probably the issue!

neversummer78 · 07-22-2014, 07:50 PM

Nice car, congratulations!

6underpressure · 07-22-2014, 08:51 PM

Really got me thinking I was looking into a 991s

kckc1016 · 07-22-2014, 09:46 PM

Great vid, off topic but what watch u wearing?

yoelev · 07-22-2014, 09:50 PM

Big and unresponsive uh oh. Not something you grow out of. Is that in comparison just to the 991s or also the e92 m3?

mntbiker · 07-22-2014, 09:51 PM

Such an awesome video! Really love watching all of your reviews, Nick.

I completely lost it when you flashed the gorillas in the back seat. Hilarious.

Congratulations on the new car and I hope you enjoy it! It looks absolutely stunning.

Spoolin Montego · 07-22-2014, 11:29 PM

Glad to see this guy ditched the lemon and got and M4

MaC-N54-E82 · 07-22-2014, 11:45 PM

Beautiful build.... Welcome to the madness.

kv12 · 07-23-2014, 12:40 AM

Great review! Very nice color combo, and I actually thought the Stuffed Gorillas and the dog in the passenger foot well gave this review a unique touch. An excellent honest and personal review!

Fester · 07-23-2014, 12:40 AM

Uh oh... Flashing light...hopefully it's not a sign!

Congrats on new wheels - the combo looks great. Wish you enjoy it trouble free!

Cheers!!

bobs619 · 07-23-2014, 02:18 AM

Do you get to drive in the carpool lane with the stuffed gorillas in the car?

24601 · 07-23-2014, 03:15 AM

Hasek9339 · 07-23-2014, 06:13 AM

I love my new m3... but still want a 911 at some point.

Glad you like it so far though! I really got a laugh when the airbag light was flashing. Your luck right?
Maybe it was because you had under 85lbs in the passengers seat?

Thanks for the comment.

another positive is that it works! lol and wow haha just ur luck to get an air bag issue

IS+1 · 07-23-2014, 09:44 AM

Very entertaining and laid back review. LOVED the gorillas! Watched that part over and over again and giggled like a little girl each time. Nice to see someone who still has an inner child and doesn't take themselves too seriously. Enjoy the new ride!

This may shed some light on the airbag flashing light...

That's for E46s only...doesn't apply to anything but and the issue manifests itself as a failure on deployment, not an airbag light.

THIS. I noticed this on our M3 demo and it has steadily been going away. The car has about 500 miles on it now and the noise is almost gone.

Congrats on the new car! Looking forward to more of your videos about it.

jeff@autocouture · 07-23-2014, 10:35 AM

Sucks about the Porsche, I followed your videos,
better luck with the m4, its a great car, and maybe we will see you around the area some time
