Beautiful car, love the colour. I saw a yellow one the other day when I was at the tyre fitters, didn't even know they were out and it looked stunning in the metal.
I really like the new 3 series saloons too, seen a few the same (which must be some special they've done) In what looks like Estoril blue with large multi spoke rims.

Added £30 per month to the total, and considering the run in service at 1200 miles is about £300, I think it's a no brainer.
I'll get through at least one set of tyres in 3 years plus brakes plus at least two services.
I believe most people who've bought one of these themselves have negotiated the service pack foc.

Zip, how do they regulate the replacement tyres? Since I assume you couldn't do numerous track events, shred them at will and appear at the dealership for some nice new replacements whenever you fancy it.

In the past it was up to me to decide that the tyres needed changing - just ring Kwik Fit ( unfortunately not my choice) they come out and check they need replacing and they just replace them (1.8 mm)
As for track days - well no...
It's fair wear and tear, including punctures.

As I'm leasing mine I've taken the full maintenance package - tyres, servicing etc.

Stunning m4! I pick mine up in a couple of days in the same colour, going to be gutted to say bye bye to my x5 but needs must and also it's worth every monthly payment who wants to be the riches man in the graveyard.

But looking at the fuel efficiency, amazing figures 194g/km and over 40mpg (extra urban)
That is pretty impressive

That's all very well, but you couldn't put 10k miles per year on a Cosworth AND watch it appreciate.
In fact, you couldn't put any miles on it at all for it to appreciate.
So not really a great comparison.

It's just far too big a car for the wife unfortunately.
I agree the M3 is expensive, and had it not been for a very generous car allowance we wouldn't have had it.
But I'm here for a good time, so **** it

At the time of agreeing the M3 lease I could've had the M5 for about £50 pm less.

Must say, I had a 24 hour test drive of a 428i late last year. In just lightly damp roads it couldn't get the power down. The ride felt vague, so did the steering and gearbox. Felt like a very large car too.
I'm sure BMW have made the M4 ride and handle completely different. But I'd hate to think what the traction is like with all that power?
OP & Zip. Both look nice cars though.

Hi,
It's been 10 years since I sold my last Scooby (V6 Type-R Ltd) and since then I've had a 350Z, B7 RS4 Saloon, and up until a few days ago my 2012 M3 with Competition pack which was awesome.
Anyway I ordered this beasty back in Aug as a factory build but also added some front end parts - black grill, CF side blades and front lip spoiler.
Really pleased with it so far..

Wasn't fussed on the M4 when they first came out. Saw one in the flesh yesterday and I think they look lovely. I parked my E92 M3 next to it and mine looked dated all of a sudden . I might go and have a test drive but not sure about the sound that I've heard on Youtube.
