Steel brakes + active suspension vs carbon brakes + normal suspension
Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy an M4 coupe and after some searching i narrowed it down to 2 choices within my price range: -an austin yellow car that is equipped with carbon brakes (basically full option) but has no adaptive suspension -an orange car with a bit less options and no ceramics which has 2000 km more (but it has adaptive suspension) The question is: Since I am moving away and will have quite a few tracks nearby which car should I get? I plan to track the car but i will also travel long distances. I never had a car with ceramic brakes before but I have m sport brakes on my car which I heard are similar to the stock m4 brakes Thanks in advance |

I would go with the adaptive and steel brakes. You can go aftermarket for brakes or alternatively retrofit CCBs

I checked a few days ago at my local bmw dealership and you can't retrofit the brakes nor the adaptive suspension. But after checking all the options and seeing the car i think i will go with the yellow m4 since it will take much less time with the paperwork and is a very good spec. Thanks for all the answers anyways

If you plan to track a fair bit, stay away from the CCB, they are cost prohibitive for track use.
Further, EDC makes for an excellent compromise on a dual use car. My M4 is my 4-season daily driver and I also use it for 16~20 track days per year. The Comfort and Sport settings a perfect for the street while the Sport+ setting takes car of track duty decently well. IMO, EDC accentuates and complements the dual nature of the M3/4 very well.

However, EDC is quite difficult to retrofit and not offered by BMW.
