Because the car and location are very familiar to me.

How could anyone be sure from a shaky 5 second cell phone video shot on an overcast day from between 50' and 100' away?

I'm sure it could be either, but people default to Alpine White as mineral white is far less common.

I borrowed an Mineral White M4 for a few days. Especially at a time of a full schedule for family commitments.
It was very .....interesting.

It does gather attention.

Yes, this really needs a bit more explanation. I am sure you're under an embargo but...."interesting" needs a bit more fleshing out...

I like it..

If I'm reading between the lines correctly, I'm guessing he's saying that was him driving it?

Without giving up the plot, can you tell us in not so many words what your impression is? You're the only one here who has driven the car, and I'm sure many would value your opinion (..except for those that will immediately call 'horseshit' just because you work for BMW).

You won't miss the V8 it inherits the essence of that engine.

[dmk08]

Is it true the M3/M4 will have active engine noise from the speakers that you cannot turn off?? That will drive me nuts.

Interesting.

LOL.

I'm assuming you mean a similar manic pull to the redline and an appetite for revs.

I'm going to ask questions you might not be able to answer. Did the car you drove have the adaptive suspension? And if so, is it worth it? Comfort floaty or well tied down?

Looks good in motion.

Fudge up thing is I want red intertior and white goes well with it but I can't....just can't do it again!

I'm in the same boat. May go wild with Mineral White!

Some still snips.

Its the actual engine noise from the M4 in this case it is not synthetic that filters through the speakers.

Ok, so how is the throttle response and power delivery?

Is there a noticeable jerk (acceleration drops noticeably) as you cross the 5500rpm range (where torque falls off), or does it pull "manically" all the way to the redline?

Can you turn it off somehow? Hopefully if not by default you can with coding. Last thing I want is more noise lol.

No you can not! Listen to the videos of drivers inside and it sounds really good and it's not annoying. It's not fake noise, it's the actual engine sound they is muffled by the engine bay and all other sections around it and you only hear parts of it. I actually welcome it.

I would rather hear the stereo than the engine! Oh well I'm sure itll grow on me.
