Out running errands today and as I am heading home I spot a new M4 parked on Magazine Street. I did manage to find a parking spot a get a quick look inside and snap a pic with my phone but had to get home. When I get back into my car the M4 is driving away so I managed to follow for a while before he headed in a different direction...

There is nothing wrong with the current stock calipers. Most of the "upgrades" on here are more for aesthetics than performance.

is that the goldmember edition?

except with those brakes and a few other options it's probably a 80k+ car

No thank you. Cool ceramic brakes but at 88k it's time to move on past this car.

Thanks for posting pics.

Dannys M3 · 04-05-2014, 06:28 PM

Is it me or does the wheel gap look less that what I've previously seen?

My3rdM3 · 04-05-2014, 07:52 PM

Nice car! Starting to wish they didn't choose this as the launch color...starting to get sick of it... Please forgive me if anyone is offended.

kscarrol · 04-05-2014, 11:56 PM

Wouldn't be my personal color choice but overall a good looking car. Can't wait to actually drive one...

UK6 · 04-06-2014, 02:16 AM

Suspension wheel gap will always look bigger on a new car, it takes time for it to settle, this one might have done a few miles, I've observed it on my own cars plenty of times.

Bmwbreed · 04-06-2014, 05:37 AM

M4 in the dirty south!!!

Tonymiabmw · 04-06-2014, 03:38 PM

Tonymiabmw · 04-06-2014, 03:41 PM

Also why would this car be in Louisiana? Just interested are these cars making rounds to dealers?

kscarrol · 04-06-2014, 05:46 PM

Good question! I was shocked to see it... Perhaps the driver is a big wrestling fan. WrestleMania is tonight in the Superdome!!!

It's Hulk Hogan's!

Hulk Hogan announced as host of WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans

It's gotta be! He'd totally drive a new gold M4!

kscarrol · 04-06-2014, 07:52 PM

^^ If I had not seen the driver, I could totally believe that it was Hulk's car!

But the driver was an Asian man, looked to be late 20's/early 30's...

This is not true. Suspension doesn't change height unless something breaks or wears out.
