Matt Farah Drives FBO 525hp M4 (The Smoking Tire)

"This BMW M4 has had what I would call a "major overhaul." By far the most modified M4 I've driven to this point, Tom's track toy boasts a 525 HP VF Engineering "Stage 2" engine tune, Moton Clubsport Coil Over suspension, AP Racing brakes, a full roll cage, and BBS wheels. This car is an absolute monster, and extremely intimidating to drive quickly. " - Matt

What a beast!

Imagine if M3/4 came like this from the factory, it would be awesome. Thanks for sharing.

tsela_f80 · 01-12-2017, 12:05 PM

Sick Build!

He mentions they are going to compare this car to a GTS. Does anyone have more info on that? Im curious as to those results.

zinner · 01-12-2017, 12:14 PM

sounds like Matt doesn't like the tune engine wise.

sittingmongoose · 01-12-2017, 12:21 PM

It seems like he went with the wrong tune. I don't have any of those problems with map 5 & 7 on the jb4.

Also seems like the susp and brake mods didn't help.

Hey that's my car!

Chicken_Joe · 01-12-2017, 12:30 PM

"FBO". That's like a JB4 and e85 with down pipes type of horsepower. Maybe. .....

Yet another "Fast but...." F80/F82 review. Par for the course.

I really struggle with this guy's review style and his personality. How many times did he say, 'oh, wow, it's fast.' Yes, we know. Any other thoughts, champ? Oh, it's twitchy? Nice review.

The M4 owner was more entertaining and personable than that donkey behind the wheel

Great choice! I love the track oriented look

stylinexpat · 01-12-2017, 01:27 PM

Does not sound like someone could take that car out and drive it at its limits. I guess one has to decide between stupid fast and being able to drive the car at its limits. I found that I could easily do that with the Porsche Cayman S. I could go around any turn and go full throttle where one could most likely not be able to do so with this car up where they were driving this car in the video. Probably a good car to drive to Vegas in though ?

x.shell · 01-12-2017, 02:07 PM

Every time I skip through the video, I always land on a spot where Tommy is saying, "yeah........".

I think he was struggling to find the words to say. He didn't like the car and didn't want to insult the owner in the passenger seat. He was trying to think of positive things to say. I find myself doing the same thing when people put me in similar situations.

Another 19/20 user. How are you liking that setup sausagelink

to_riffic · 01-12-2017, 02:21 PM

With that much power, I'd think of trying to survive going around the track rather than what your time will be like on the track.

I'm sure it's stupid fast and makes gobsss of power (500+), but I'd rather focus on suspension; dial it in for the track and heat management. That's it.

redpriest · 01-12-2017, 02:41 PM

Sounds like you need to dial the suspension in more for the street as well as having a track setting.
