[New To Me] F82 BMW M4 Individual

AlexBG · 03-09-2023, 11:18 PM

I recently picked up this 2018 BMW M4 Individual in Smoked Topaz Metallic with 11k miles. I missed my MGM F80 M3 too much. I decided I needed to get back into a BMW. Once I picked up the car I installed the lip, splitters, side skirts, diffuser. It came with the M Performance spoiler but the whoever installed it. They did a horrible job and the spoiler seems to be bubbling. So I ordered a brand new M Performance spoiler that's on the way and should be installed on Monday.

I snapped a few photos while out and about. The weather has been crap in Missouri. So the car is a little dirty.

Awesome photography and choice of color for your F82, congrats and enjoy it in good health!

What did you use to snap those shots, btw?

Thank you!
I had my Nikon Z6II and Nikkor Z 40mm f/2.0 with a B+W Circular Polarizer in the passenger seat yesterday.
I am impressed with the 250 dollar lens.

All my nice lenses were at home in the Pelican case. I wasn't really planning on shooting.

Amazing colour. I’ve only ever seen one for sale in Uk or Ireland

I’ve been told it’s 1 of 17. I haven’t seen any place to verify that for the F82 but I know they only made 58 of them in the F80 in this color.

Johnny250 · 03-10-2023, 07:53 PM

wow, amazing color!

NickyC · 03-10-2023, 08:41 PM

Hey Alex looks great, I'm a long time member here in STL with a FDB2 M4 CS so I hope I see you car around sometime! Also it's a small world, but did you happen to buy the set of wheels from my YMB M4 about five years or so ago? Your name sounds familiar.

I see you already have side skirts, but if you want a nice deal on some great carbon ones let me know (though I think you already have it covered).

Congrats and Beautiful! I saw a Smoked Topaz F80 last year and it is a stunning unique color. One that looks even better in person…although your pics capture it quite well but who are we kidding…it’s hard to take a bad pic of an F8x

Enjoy!
