M3 M4 Launch - Page 2

Am excited to try one - will wait for the initial rush to die down. The issue with buying one brand spanking new is that the depreciation will be galactic.

E92's at the moment, however, are a crazy bargain.

Truly impressive in a straight line... less so through the corners as TC light was On through every corner, even in the M1 mode. DCT g/box is a perfect match for the Twin Turbo Straight 6 and proper brake callipers at last

Oh and there's a very sexy CF strut brace

A CSL replacement it most certainly is not ... but a practical CSL Support Vehicle & a daily grinder... Yes please, make mine in "Yas Marina Blue" Thank you please ... Good effort BMW

The closest colour to "Laguna Saca Blue"

which can also be optioned out (at great expense) through the BMW Individual program

Thanks
Sat in the yellow one at Elms. Lovely place to sit, but could not believe it was going to be fun so did not bother to follow up with a drive. Strange everyone seems to report the TC light keeps flashing.
Took out a pork

for a test drive. Lots of positives, but again the overall experience left me flat.

As a bit of a side to this thread - Witnessed the lauch of the i8 at Elms Cambridge this weekend, although i didn't bag a steer (so popular was the interest) the thing looked and felt like a space ship! Awesome...i believe they had sold 12 by the Saturday.
The acceleration of the i3 was also a massive/pleaseant surprise when i drove one last month, proves the old CSL adage power is nothing without lightness.
Its the future....cant wait for the iM3/4
Discuss!
