Nice pics !

The rising door crease/window lines on modern cars is very noticeable on the M4, as taken probably a step too far on the Evoque

Agreed.....However M4 is rapeeeeeedo....Elms Cambourne had a Mineral Grey M4 just before crimbo........stunning with the black rims.

Are any folk on here toying with the idea of M4 ownership?

Have been thinking about it now that Litchfields are doing mods.

Agreed... but only in a straight line I test drove M3/M4 last year back to back and they were just plain embarasing through corners by comparison to Cecil which I drove to the test drive ... and then back home, without chopping it in for one of the young guns
The problem was the nature of the TT straight six is just too darn torque peaky when attacking a corner CSL style, with either TC ON which kills power mid corner/ up on enthusiastic exit... or TC Off which just looses traction far too easily by overwhelming the MICHELIN Super Sports into a cloud of smoke.
Oh and the stearing just felt numb... again by comparison to Cecils

i disagree matt, m4 through the welsh mountain roads was quite and very grippy in the dry, felt nimble to me, much better than the E92

It would do Shimmy as you're comparing the M4 against a heavy E9X ... and I was comparing it against a lightweight & very nimble CSL on a back to back test drive on East Anglia's bumpy 'B' roads
