29, no family, I ordered my M4 to progress away from a history of "boy racer" cars (history is below)

'94 Honda Civic - 16yo (only automatic car I ever owned, the rest are all MT)
'96 VW GTI VR6 - 17yo
'91 Nissan 300ZX - 19yo
'06 Civic Si - 20yo
'10 Subaru STI - 24yo
'14 435xi - 28yo (big mistake here, should have waited for M4)
'15 M4 - 29yo (arriving soon)

The GTI, Si, and STI were all heavily modified but you would never be able to tell looking at them (no silly cosmetics, all engine/suspension/drivetrain)

EDIT: I do think the M3/M4 can be made more "adult" depending on the color. For example YMB and AY are more towards the "boy racer" side of the scale than colors like MG/AW/MW/BS. I'm not saying YMB and AY are boy racer colors (please don't flame me!!!) just saying they are more attention grabbing. I absolutely LOVE AY, but I don't want the extra attention that comes with it (mainly from cops)

I mean no offense I am just saying the majority here may think the M3 is more manly and the M4 looks softer and less chiseled. Hope I don't get run over by an M4 on my way home.

I know it's all in good fun, but more than likely you will probably not get run over by an M4 on the way home. However, you may get bumped to the side by those hips, haha.

Thats what I did when i was younger... used infiniti and GMC yukons carried me through. Even tho you I could afford a 80K car I didn't buy it, and glad I didn't! My advice to anyone in their 20's with limited responsibility is to save as much as you can now, it comes in handy later.

LOL... I would do that if just to check out your car. Ill let you know how the bottom looks. Maybe I should just wait for the check to come in and use that to buy my M3

Actually I have to go pay for it tonight. Ugh.. Hate dropping coin like that and walking away with nothing. PDC on the 10th.

I've been prowling the forums for a while now researching and gathering as much info as I can in order to make the best decision upon purchasing a new car in the coming weeks. Long story short, my 335is is going to be out of warranty in November of this year, and I am in the market for a new car. Originally, I was holding out to find a great deal on a slightly used F10 M5. Well, the other day, I test drove a YMB F82 M4 and completely fell in love. I left the test drive smiling like a 5 yr old with a new happy meal toy haha. Anyway, what I am looking for here is,

1) How old are you M4 owners? I cant find any age demographic info
2) Were any of you in the market for an m5/m6 before the M4?
3) Regrets? thoughts? comments?

I am 26 years old, and part owner of a restaurant, and my fear is that if I order an M4, I will feel like it isn't as much of a "mans car" as the M5 is (dumb, but we've all thought it). Last thing i want is to spend $80k and feel like its a boy racer. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!

Regards, and drive safe,

Brochop
If you think the M4 is a boy racer's ride, and you don't like that, then don't get one.

Why on earth would you give the slightest damn what anybody else thinks.

Time to be yourself, and screw anyone who doesn't approve.

You do realize that there will be some folks who won't approve of either ride, because who needs such power? Uh-oh, boy racer with either choice.

PDC is going to be sweet! I was too impatient to add a few weeks to my delivery. Enjoy!

Absolutely... As ol' Ricky Nelson once sang: "you can't please everyone so you gotta please yourself". I'm 65 so I remember this crap.

I'm 31 with M4. It is not boy racer at all.
Boys cannot afford these toys. Men can.
M5 is a great vehicle but ask yourself if you really have a need for something that big now?

I considered the M6 GC because it is probably the most beautiful car BMW has made for a long time but stayed away from it because of the size. Nothing wrong with the car it's just a personal thing.

Get an M4

The M5 and M6 are TOO HEAVY, well over 4000 lbs. each. I'm 68, and have been retired for five years. I have an M4 on order, now scheduled for Week 36 production. It will be the replacement for my 2010 335i M-Sport.
