M4 Owned For 3 Months Now To Start The Mods

[Turboextreme]

As the title says I have now owned my Yas Marina Blue M4 for 3 months so I thought it was time to buy some M Performance parts for her

So far I have purchased a steering wheel (non race display), handbrake handle and gaitor, carbon door handles, floor mats, pedal covers and carbon rear spoiler. I am still awaiting the arrival of the arm rest, foot rest and black M4 badge.

I am also using this thread to post some pictures of the car

Looks great and the backdrop is stunning. Needs a splitter on the front

Lovely, I think some black gloss grills and side bars would complete the look, I love the black chrome trim finisher that continues on the doors with the LCI F82 but for some reason it doesn't with the F80.

Bloody annoying....

What took you so long?!?

I'm very jealous of the scenery you have there by the way, it looks lovely

If you guys want to keep quoting a post full of pics, feel free to delete the pic part of the quote, otherwise it gets annoying always scrolling so much more than needed just to get to new posts. You shouldn't need to be told, it's basic forum etiquette.

BTW, nice car, look forward to mod progression!

Maybe we all just like looking at the pictures of the cool car as we scroll through the posts

Car looks good but not bothered with any other outside parts yet as can't decide if to trade it in for a Competition Pack car or not.

You'd be bonkers to trade in for a CP after 3 months. Would cost you a fortune. Buy that black bits and then sort suspension. I'm not convinced MY16 hasn't shared a lump of diff/traction updates anyway. You've got same rear dampers and if you decide to lower it's academic re springs.

Ordering from scratch the CP makes sense but trading in a nearly new car? I'd just mod it.

Completly agree, the choice however is always yours , but IMO you have the newer model, I drove a 64 plate M4 demo and it was difficult to live with, all over the place in the wet, snatchy and lumpy, i ditched the order, then drove a 15 plate M3 and was hooked, what a diffrence in 2 cars, ordered the 2016 M4 and was worried what it would drive like, exactly as the M3 did, the CP brings along a lot of tricks and extras however reading between the lines a lot of the mods are on the current cars, excluding forged wheels, exhaust mod / black tips, black boot badge and some new seats and trim, but the main changes in the way the car handles and drives were masked around Sept 15 to improve on the issues found.

I would as suggested Mod it and make a great car your own to your own spec, if I had the choice at order I would go CP but that wasn't available at the time, everything evolves, cheers John

Nice build.. That interior looks great! But must be hard to keep clean. It will drive me nuts to worry about dirt and stain on those.

I agree with both of you 100% a serious amount of modding can be done with less money than it would cost to change. You can also make the car 100% individual, I would suggest coding the car as well to bring out some of the hidden gems that lurk within

Point at hand is my BSM M4 which has went through a complete transformation in its 12 months of ownership, once the modding bug bites it is with you for life

I have a pack of leather wipes in the glove box just in case.

Hi
How does the manual box drive. Im wanting an M3/M4 manual but not driven one. I have driven the dct.

[Magna_Flow]

Lookin good! Any plans for performance mods?

[AIRPOWER]

Turboextreme, looking good! Love the mods.....be careful.....it's hard to stop!

Best of luck and do not trade-in for a CP, you would crush her!

I like it but I have never driven the DCT so can't comment on how they compare
