It's here...

Unloading video here: http://greg-w.smugmug.com/Cars/2015-BMW-M4/i-Gf2GzjN. My CA sent me that - I would have been nervous watching. I pick it up tomorrow morning (would be today, but going to a concert later). Won't sleep well tonight.

I love you, too! Installed painted engine cover & reflectors today and did setup. Only drove 40 miles, but I'm liking it! Photos & report tomorrow.

We have to set up an Oregon Washington meet for later, when I'm not driving the Prius anymore.

Still hating though.

What DA? Looks like he is unloading in the middle of an interstate! Wow would not have been able to watch that either in person..so much can go wrong with one slip of the wheel but looks like she is safe. BTW yes I would have absolutely blown off the concert. I already told my CA I am ready to drop everything when she arrives this week and want to see everything. I will not let them go home until she is mine to take home finally back from ED trip.

It was actually only a 2 lane street with center turn lane. Not much free area around this dealer. My CA said about 8 employees were watching him unload it - no pressure! Worked out good because by waiting until Saturday morning I was able to play with it all yesterday.

Congrats Greg! I remember when you got your e46 M3 and your e92 M3. This will be my third M car; build supposed to take place this week.

Saw a Silverstone M4 yesterday at BMW Seattle and liked it so much I considered buying it. But want 4 doors this time.

My Silverstone/Sakhir coupe

A few quick pics.



Sakhir Orange interior is hard to photograph. It doesn't look this orange to me IRL. Like it a lot as a complement to the Silverstone.





Engine cover to go with the interior (brake calipers are next) I also did a little polishing on the intercooler.



Black grille surrounds installed. I also installed painted side reflectors.

Damn you Greg, I love that color!

Congratulations you devil, I hope you won't have any problems to report.

Review comments

A few quick review comments, after only 75 miles, in no particular order.

- Power is impressive, speed is deceptive. I find myself going faster than I think.
- Suspension is quite firm, even in Comfort setting. Fine by me, but this is no luxo cruiser.
- Stitched dash with Full Leather make a huge difference in cabin quality.
- Love the HUD. Beware that polarized sunglasses make it very hard to see, although that is not a problem with the main screen.
- Didn't know we got a heated steering wheel (maybe I need to reconsider the luxo cruiser comment!).
- Was also not aware of the gear display with the manual. Also shows in the HUD when switched to MMode. Efficient dynamics economy prompt is stupid; wants me to shift to 6th at 30 mph!
- Don't care for the rev match downshifts much; I'd rather just do it myself. Maybe it can be coded off?
- I like the exhaust note quite a bit. It's no V8, but it has a lot of character, even listening with windows down. However, the Dynamic exhaust is a little weird with it getting really loud all of a sudden. I'd prefer just to have two manual settings.
- Like the E92, there is little buffeting with one or both windows down.
- Unlike the E92, seat button must be held down while moving the seat. Of course, there are key-dependent settings that will automatically adjust it.

All-in-all, nothing is really bugging me. Pretty much everything I've prepared myself to expect from a year on this forum. No problems so far.

Thanks for the pictures, and congrats, Greg! That Full SO interior is so sweet. How hard is it to remove and ship the brake calipers to iND for painting? Painting it to SO seems like a good idea. How much would it cost to paint them?

I worked out a deal where they are prepainting some takeoff calipers so they will send those to me before I take mine off. Then it will be a one day swap. Contact Nate @ IND for more info.
