Just collected my new M4 Cp
Well just flown up from Southampton to Scotland to collect my new car.
Had a great steady drive home and managed 32 mpg and 355 from a full tank. Not that I will ever see these figures again. Still very impressed after coming out of an F10 M5 Just need to sort out an exhaust, spacers and suspension but I think I may have to wait a little while or me and e good lady may fall out. What do you think? https://ibb.co/nkUn5R https://ibb.co/jAfAQR https://ibb.co/c7SqQR https://ibb.co/jAHDem https://ibb.co/fMxUKm https://ibb.co/htnks6

Looks very good to me - congrats!
Tell us more about the M5 comparison, which was on my short list last time around? Why are you impressed with the M4? What's your plan for the suspension??

Also as its not my everyday car I felt I wanted a non 4 door car as felt more of an occasion if that makes sence. The M5 as an only car is hands down very hard to beat in every way. I had the previously V10 and the running costs were super car money but the F10 is no different to an M3/4. On the suspension front I am undecided as I have Nitron on my E36 and had it on my E92 and the quality is hard to beat and it doesn't ruin the day to day driving experience , however you pay for it. Tempted just to go for springs currently, would very much like to meet and see yours in the flesh as you are Hampshire based aren't you? Always used Eibach but not sure on the M4 as yet? Was going to get a MP exhaust but heard a few comments on them breaking and making strange miscues so a little undecided also. Akra would be my first choice as the M5 system was stunning in both sound and quality but for £7k I would hope so.

I plan to have the car corner balanced and properly aligned at Center Gravity when I an find the time. Center Gravity quoted the same price as Cotswold to fit (slightly higher parts cost with cheaper labour) but I decided the franchise option gives full 2 year warranty on the whole setup.

I came out of an F10 M5 into the M3, it's swings and roundabouts in that what you lose in sheer grunt and interior quality you gain in terms of handling and eagerness at more sensible speeds.
Enjoy....

Lovely cars you have there.
What made you travel to Scotland for the car? Curious which dealer you used also.

And if honest the drive home is a great way to bed the car in without loads of stops etc . It was 430 from door to door and sat at 80 ish all the way. Would defiantly recommend them as a dealership 👍

I seemed to always run out of road with the M5! Haha!
The M3's agility has been alot more fun on the usual roads and streets i drive in!

That, and the fact it seems to steer itself with the rear wheels

It's an amazing ar isn't it. Would be keen to drive the new one but way to much money and probably no deals on for a while?

I defiantly agree with you there. Be a great car as the F10 is not an easy car to drive on the limit in the dry yet alone in our standard weather conditions.
