What to look for when buying a 2018 M4

dadcab · 01-26-2022, 10:09 AM

I am seriously considering a low mile (under 10k) 2018 M4. It has the executive package but does not have the comp pack. It has a very clean CarFax and he has all of the paperwork for the few services.

It was owned by a man in his late 60s and garage kept and driven occasionally.

What things should I be looking for? This is my first BMW and first M car.

The price of course!!

Those newer M cars are really reliable. If the owner kept up with all needed services then you should be good. Pay for a PPI before buying for a piece of mind.

Make sure 1200 miles service is done.

If his rotors look like this it has been driven hard on the track.
This one of my 19’ M4 rotors.

Honestly, there isn't a mark on the car. Anyway. I've check all the usual things.
