New M4 on order

Hi Guys

I've finally have a M4 on order. Was planning on a 2nd hand one, but with the current offers, decided to jump in and go for new.

Planned delivery will be early next yet (tbc)

Colour & spec i hear you cry!!!

Gone for:
Competion Pack
Sakhir Orange II
Sakhir Orange leather
Black 666M wheels
Manual gearbox
Carbon Fibre Trim
HK Audio
Surround View + Rear cam (to keep the wheels kerb free I hope)

I would have loved to tick some more boxes, but that was my budget gone!!!

This being a forum, I know without pics it didnt happen, so until then, I've attached a BMW render.

Looks good, just one must have option you've missed - the two extra doors

Orange on orange is going to be bright!

I love the Sakhir Orange leather in mine I must say, although it's contrasted with sapphire black. Am sure it'll look fab "in the metal".

nice and bright - love it. welcome and may the painful wait pass quickly although if you're anything like me it will drag. enjoy watching M4 videos and making a ridiculous list of mods in your mind to pass the time.

Great build, and a 6MT at that! Not a fan of the icon adaptive lights?

Regardless, I hope the wait goes by quickly for you, at least the upcoming holidays will be a good distraction. =)

Hi Guys thanks for the welcome and replies.

Stooker:
I love the look of the new LED lights, but just couldn't afford that tick box. The new 'angel eyes' do look very cool.

Jimbooo:
The mod list has already started....

Cheers guys

The black was next on my list of favorites, and only second because I currently have a Shapphire Black 330D. I've had red interiors in the past, think the orange will really show up the comp seats.

The future is bright.....

Oh and I found the 2 doors..... they can go in the glove box....

Yeah, I guess if the budget didn't allow. You'll be loving the car regardless. It's a shame you didn't come to the dark side and get the 4-door. I think the F80 looks more brute and aggressive. The M4 is more elegant. At least you stuck with 6MT!

I actually used the UK configurator for the first time (I have a US spec F80 so never used the UK site), and it is way better than the US one. I configured one to match mine as close as possible just to see the difference. I always knew the options were done differently, but I didn't realize that some are free of charge, while others aren't, but vice versa in the US. For example, UK doesn't charge extra for other paint colors besides Alpine White, but you have to pay for carbon fiber trim. It's the opposite for US... AW is the only "free" color, but CF is free. I guess it makes sense to the bean counters.

The 4-door does have a great look, more stout & brutish as you say. I just love the big frame-less doors (until the glass sticks to the rubber in winter!!!)

Yeah the difference with the specs & options price, I had noticed that when watching "Scott BMW Smith from sunny southern California" (youtube) I guess right hand drive trim sell less, so costs more.

You missed off HUD and speed limit.
One of the best options...you don't realise just how good until you've used then for a while.

Yeah, although realizing your budget was tapped out, spacerat, I'll second the HUD. It was part of the exec part for me and I didn't think much of it at first when I put in the order, but I'm really glad I got it now that I have the car. If you have the chance to change the order and come across some extra coin, I highly recommend going for it!

Looking good! I also have the sakhir orange seats (bit of a contrast with my silverstone paintwork), they look great of course, hopefully yours will turn up after the worst of the wintry weather so you can enjoy it properly!

Cheers dude. Luckily down south, a hard frost is as bad as it gets....
