F Type R or M4?

Had to sell my M4 as my wife got a new job and was murdering her X3 lease. I got her a very lightly used X4 and now im stuck driving her car till next November when lease is up.

Question is once i return the car what should i get?


I was looking at two cars. Jag F type R convertible or obviously another M4 but probably a convertible this time.

So what do you guys think?

I think the JAG is funny looking and pretentious. M4 is a good do all everything well while not looking pretentious in my opinion. I would stick with an M4 vert.

Do a search for Kief's discussion thread on this sub about his switch from M4 to F type R and back to M4

Also, there seems to be a super sale on CS models right now, so my vote would be to try and cheap lease an M4 CS rather than getting an M4 vert.

I actually had two coupe r's...white and black. Love/hate relationship with them. Definitely pretentious which I struggled with, and quality issues. But I absolutely loved the design and sound. It was a beast and very special in my neck of the woods. And the lease deals I got them, particularly the black, was one of my best finds. About as good as my current M3CS! Lol. I'm not a fan on the vert however. GL

super sale is on leases and not really on buying. their price is so high up front that even with 10k discount its still a 90+k car...

Isn’t it something like $600-$700/mo to lease? That is a lot more acceptable to me than $100k price for CS given how much you can do with a $45k 2015 and $10k in mods

I guess if op is looking to buy lightly used and hold this obviously wouldn’t work out.

I had a M4 and a F-Type R at the same time. Best of two worlds . The M4 is more nimble and direct. It is clearly more engaging. On the other hand: the F-Type has more soul. It‘s loud, has awesome proportions and is more old school in a good way. I miss it and would prefer the F-Type over the M4. Only exception is if you track your car from time to time.

Not that low but close to $800, with msd's you can get into mid 700's.

Which is a steal for 100k+ car

Dude, the exhaust note.

Just make sure you get a good warranty.

Yes there are a few little flaws. The carpet on the drivers side was a little short so you could see the insulation. A few creaks from the carbon roof but that‘s all. Of course Not everyone is so lucky.

But nothing can beat that exhaust note .

Jag is beautiful, not pretentious. They still get looks, while m4 is just another 3 series. If you have to have a stick, then M is only choice. Jag's autobox is slower than dct, but the Jag feels more intimate and immediate. Its lighter but slower unless you get V8 version.

I had an F Pace loaner for a few days. I immediately wanted to burn it then push it into a lake. JLR's infotainment system is by far the most vile interface I have ever had to use. Unless they completely changed it from last year, I'd avoid anything JLR if you plan on using the infotainment system.

Infotainment sucks you‘re right. But you don‘t buy a F-Type because of the infotainment system . The car isn‘t flawless but is it the M4?

The F-Pace is another story. I‘m getting rid of mine because in this case I can‘t completely forgive the flaws.
