Such a great daily

Such a great daily. Entertaining chassis yet ride is super compliant with 18s and adaptive suspension. Comfortable seats, great headroom. Easy to get in/out of. Abundant torque. Manual transmission is never boring. Adequate tech & safety features. Good looking. Car is remarkably livable given its capabilities. What's not to like!

Wait till you install some track pads and put better brake fluid in it and take it to the track!

^ This is the magic of the M3/4, such a good practical daily driver that can become a real track weapon on weekends. This dual nature is what the M3(4) has been all about since its inception.

i've been going to the grocery store 2-3x more per week since i got my m3 just because i get excited to go drive it.

I agree, OP…

18s + Adaptive Susp =

Ever since I stepped into the M4 I’ve just been driving just to drive regardless of time of day.

Smiles per gallon.

I hear ya!

Agreed! This is why I wanted the 4-door. So practical: 4 adults fit comfortably for long road trips, easy to get my little cousins seated and buckled up in the back. I can do airport runs with tons of luggage. I don't worry about street parking it or handing it to a valet.

Yes, sport purpose cars might be more fun, but we end up driving our Ms more because they are more usable, and they make daily use really fun!

sicck_m4 · 03-04-2021, 07:35 AM

Couldn't agree with you more. I try to rotate my wife's F32 when she is not driving it but I always end up taking the M4 to work/errands.

Just pulled mine out for the first time today since winter started here in northwest Chicagoland...gosh I missed this thing. Fellas...this is a fantastic vehicle! Long live the beauty that is the F80/82!

Fun daily is a great way to describe this car!

Also gets to the mountain in the snow. Just needs a little weight in the trunk with winters.

I’ve yet to try this but I guess a sandbag or two would help a lot keeping grip.

Makes a huge different.

If the car is packed with bags etc in the trunk it's fine. Around town on heavy snow days I put a couple 45lbs weights in the back and get around just fine. That's using the staggered wheel sizes. I'd imagine it would be better with something narrower in the back

Agree. Perfect blend of fun and every day ability. Will be at a a full year of WFH next week. Very few daily driving needs these days. Its been ~5 weeks since I drove mine. This is the longest ive gone. But roads look pretty salt free atm. So its coming out this weekend!
