Looking good man! Congrats

I'm thinking about switching from coupe to convertible as well. I'd love to get your impressions on how much heavier, slower, and more sluggish, if any, the car feels than your F80. I know that you need to get past break-in for a real comparison, but you can generally get a feel right from the start.

The color combo and mods look great. 666 wheels look great, especially in person. Congrats.

Audio Fan · 12-21-2016, 10:16 PM

Also, how about a top-down pic with the new bits and pieces.

M4 vert does feel a little heavier but mostly in the rear area. I think it may help with initial takeoff but will be slower as speed picks up due to extra weight compare to my M3.

Congrats and enjoy!!

what tint level did you go with? looks great on the MG color. i've got AW coming in soon and can't decide how dark to take the tint. living in FL, i'm aiming for as dark as i can get away with to help out with summer temps

ARC-8s look good w/MG.

I went with medium tint, 30-35%. imo, it's the perfect amount, not too light or dark.

was able to hit the highway today for better drive assessments. imo, for the brief 20+ miles i did this morning, the M4 vert felt more planted than my M3 accelerating on the straights. on fast turns, it does feel "heavier" but very slight. after the highway, did about 10 miles on local roads. i definately feel that i am able to put more power down and get more traction on aggressive takeoffs than my M3 did. i'm sure the added rearward weight, and perhaps the ZCP tweaks, has made this M4 vert more enjoyable and confident inspiring to drive.

i would strongly recommend the switch if u guys like convertibles, the added weight is not a big issue, imo. can't wait to drop the top
