In Montreal, we had the exact opposite colours for the M3 and M4 that you had in Calgary/Vancouver. To me, the AY M4, with its black interior, felt much more cramped in than the YMB M3 with the Silverstone interior that felt nice and airy. The M4 rear quarters felt especially cramped in all black as there is not a single colour accent in the back with the all black option. The rear quarters of the M4 are definitely more cramped than the rear quarters of the E92 M3. I sit comfortably in the back seat of my E92 with plenty of head room to spare. My head was rubbing on the roof in the back of the M4. The lower and sloping roof line can definitely be felt. There was no such issue in the M3 though. I usually prefer black interiors, but going back and forth between the two cars for over an hour got me to decide on the Silverstone interior for my M4 because it feels so much airier. |

Silverstone might not be the best choice for MW though. Have you thought of SO with MW and the black wheels. I personnaly really dig that combo . I am 5'9", and yes, it was tight in the back of the M4. Last edited by CanAutM3; 03-30-2014 at 09:58 PM.. |

Damn you Sir Loin, because of you I have to find Canada! Tomorrow I will (for the first time) use the navigation system of that engineer dream in the garage, and I will take a long needed road trip up there. According to Americans, I will have no problems, because I'm used to wrestle polar bears, so if I find a parking place, the car show will have one pissed visitor.

Yes, me too. It's really funny to read the stuff I write, my written English sucks big time. The saddest part is that my brain seems to work like Google translator, so if most of the words translate the right way, I don't spot the problem at all. My old English teacher, Mrs L would have had me in detention for hours if she had read even half of the stuff i write.
Well, my excuse is that this is my third language, so all I should know is how to say thank you. Which I wont say to you, dear Sir, because of you I will end up in Mexico tomorrow. I always rebel against a female giving me directions, reminds me too much of childhood. |

I think they were there for the 3/4Series, officially. But looks like they would fit the new M cars with regular brakes, so I took a picture of them.

I made it! I found Canada all by myself, and even back here. To many this would not be a reason to celebrate, but this was the first time while using a navigator, I went where I was supposed to go! I keep arguing with them, and I'm so stubborn I always take the option not recommended.
Well, first of all, I have to say, that the Canadians are the best! they work on metric system, and they have a sense of humor, and when I lost my way totally, one even found me a map from his truck. I may have to go there again, if I can spot the right highway again. Then to the show. I here by take back my positive comments on the smurf. I will not be able to live with it, and hell will freeze over before that will end up in my garage. I have to say, that my brain always had twisted it in to a shade darker color, and that was enough for me. I tried to picture it with the carbon fiber roof and all, but the sad truth is, that that color is too girly for me (and till I finally give up, I'm a specimen of the wrong sex when it comes to buyers of these). I'm sorry to say this, but without more space to see the cars, and in that light, the M3 stole the show. I'm sure the 4 has more presence in some other color, and with less kids running around it, but today and only on this forum I will confess doing the wrong choice in two things. I think the 3 looked meaner, and beefier, and I'm not sure it's all because of that smurf poop. I don't know if someone else has a thing for the (they might be called side mirrors) mirrors, but hell yeah, in Ye they made the 3 and the (even in smurf) 4 look like the devil himself. Even the atheist in me shook in fear. They have a presence and both of them ( in any other color than the smurf) made me want to be the one who walks to them. People here complained about the dealers, and I have to say, that treatment I received was great. I had no trouble getting in the car, the dealer would have left me there for the rest of the day, it seemed so. I did all the boring things, adjusted the mirrors, checked how good the rear view is and so on, I was there probably only minutes, but I think that the four will be driving machine, as the slogan says. I did tell the dealer, that I have ordered one already, that did not make him look at me as a goner, he seriously was willing to spend his time explaining things to me. My English is horrid when it comes to this stuff, I never needed these words in this language. Someone mentioned looking like they had the money, but the attitude I received was not like that at all. I had dirty jeans on, and an old leather jacket with me, I would have been the last person I would guess had the cash to buy these. Last edited by Lups; 03-31-2014 at 12:06 AM..

Btw, if anyone wants to know about minivans, I'm the person to talk to. I was haunted by the minivan industry, and even if you take away the ego, no one in their right mind would even try to sell me one in real life. Still, at that show, minivans and the Smart something (name of a brand, not the people selling them) wanted to talk to me.
Guys, you get of so easily. You have no idea. |

I will take the M4, but apparently I crew up and I may have to rethink my attitude towards black or white, my two least favorite colors when it comes to cars. I have to wash the smurf off of my brain first, and then think this again.
I know it's a color many of you will love, but to me it just won't work. It made me think of nannies again, and that is not a good thing. Last edited by Lups; 03-31-2014 at 01:33 PM.. |

I'm 173cm tall, and I didn't have enough headroom in the four. Still, other adults will probably ride in it every other year, so it doesn't matter much.

You ain't kidding Double Bubble, I was so lucky to find a brand new 2013 FROZEN WHITE << ( I just love saying it ) a few weeks ago from Nebraska, it had something like 29 miles on the odo probably from a few test drives since the body of the car was still wrapped in the factory tarp, and by the way thats how the car arrived for me in L.A. I can't even put into words the joy and excitement of driving this little beast, I mean just walking into the garage and seeing it overwhelms me. . Don't get me wrong I love Mercedes, I mean Benzes are pretty sick I've been driving my sisters 06 CLK 55 Cabrio around since she got married last summer and bought herself an AMG Gangsta Wagen G63. It's been nothing but pure joy driving it around on the daily, but you just know when you're driving a BMW,and man you know they don't play when they say they build only one thing and one thing only...... .............................................. "The ultimate Driving Machine" everything from how it grips the corners, to how it sounds when you peel at a stop light and I'm talking stock. Even the interior smells like you're sitting in a Bentley. I need some guidance though because I do plan on moding it but I also plan on talking my time and perfecting it as well. Any ideas?? So far I've tinted the windows with Huper Optiks, and had the wheels dipped in gloss black, powder coated the calipers, and redid the interior trim in carbon fiber. Next up will be Napa Leather and Alcantara Recaro's from Europe. About $6k each Feel free to give me any suggestions, hopefully other members can advise as well. |

Hum, I think Double Bubble was referring to the new F80 M3, not E9x M3, the one you just purchased. this thread and forum are for the new F8x Ms, after all.

What a difference a couple months can make! Let me begin by saying, "I admit I made too many ignorant judgments in this life and the Porsche one is one of them." I recently drove Panamera .. meh not my thing, Cayenne... not feeling that either, Tesla ok, but not really.... which led to... ahem.. 2014 Porsche Carrerra 4S. The car to end all arguements. Forget the M3/M4... this is my new drool thing on 4 wheels. And boy was I wrong!! I didn't even want to drive it. I was going home and salesman insisted on a courtesy ride then cajoled me into driving. Just blown away. I completely get it now. I actually had a deal drafted and only left to go sleep over it and make sure it was right decision for me. The car was Optioned to 135K and thank God I walked out of there without it that night because I wanted the damn thing so bad the price seized to matter all that much. After going hme I sobered up and decided to wait. I likely wiull loose the battle with myself ande get one anyway. But I just want to say don't judge and until you get to wring out one of these. Pure sex on wheels. I am completely sold.
