Looked at a frozen black M4 with ceramics and yellow contrast stitching when I was buying. Made a quick call to Damien at Final Inspection to discuss care and maintenance of said paint. Needless to say I really changed my mind on the car post the chat with Damo.

It’s a great colour for a collector, to leave in a Perspex humidity controlled box lol

drgmt · 10-13-2017, 07:31 PM

Honestly the frozen paints aren’t designed for an Australian summer. Time will tell.

If I was a detailer and you were a client I’d steer you away as well. I can’t do anything other than wrap or paint protection to charge you

My thinking is this. I’ll either get a wrap or paint protection coating. Beyond that any decent scratch and you’re repainting a panel anyway these days. If they can’t match the colour it’s the insurance companies problem not mine.

My new M4 Comp LCI2 in Sakhir Orange http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1462151

MPoweRo · 02-01-2018, 04:58 PM

A few select shots (iPhone only!) including having the front wrapped, carbon door pull recesses (thanks Modaddict79) and one of the engine bay where I was surprised to find a glossy, fully coated finish.

MPoweRo · 02-01-2018, 05:01 PM

...and some underbody shots in factory fresh glory!

MPoweRo · 02-18-2018, 10:08 PM

Went for a blatt to Kinglake yesterday early morning. I can't believe how much quicker and more stable the M4 is compared to the 1M. I was keeping the throttle below 80% and the revs under 5.5k but even then the performance is astonishing. I softened the dampers up for the C724 and it just hung on. A little understeer on the way in, neutralised with the throttle on the way out.

Just phenomenal.

kinglake was a favorite of mine back in the day, but it's a bit of a mess now with the double reflectors in middle of the road and new coarse chip surface

i haven't taken any car up there for a couple years now, i'd imagine m3/m4 is so wide you'd be running over reflectors constantly?

Yeah it's narrow and I was running over the cat's eyes a fair bit. Also, there are a lot of blind corners so you have to enter with ample reserve to manage a surprise. The increased width of the M4 was negated by the increased front end accuracy and overall stability.

Having said that it was still a lot of fun.

By the way, that video looks like it's playing at 1.5x speed! Those Evo's really hang on!

domino_z · 02-21-2018, 05:16 AM

The size of the f80 is my only real complaint about the car in terms of getting it out for a hill runs - it would be perfect if it were still e9x dimensions

Certain roads I know just won't suit it, and there is little option in placing the car accurately within the lane - for vic roads, reefton and gembrook rd are about as narrow as I feel comfortable pushing it

MPoweRo · 06-06-2018, 12:27 AM

Test drove an X3 M40i today.

While there, had a look at this pace car. Someone really leant on those PSS!

The M4 safety car was used at Phillip Island on the weekend for the GT 101 race

Mo from Melbourne BMW kindly organised for my Nephew who was visiting from Adelaide to be taken for a Lap around the track in it .... Thanks again Mo

What do people think of this: frozen orange, looks like Sakhir? This time at Brighton BMW.

dannyz_M4 · 07-18-2018, 06:37 PM

Just put a deposit down on a nardo grey M3 from Mo @ southbank. Taking a chance here... haven't seen it in flesh....

Take your word. Wife calls it the filing cabinet colour.....

OzcarM3 · 08-27-2018, 05:03 AM

Deposit down with Mo for an M3 finished in white Silver Metalic (a mini colour). Looks good on Mini so here’s hoping.

@Domino. I think both our cars may be arriving on the same vessel.

Whenever I see a Nardo Grey car I think it'll look great once they paint over the primer.
