My new M4
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.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/10...8c7c6dc370.jpg Nick |
Looks nice, but doesn't look a millions miles away from the M3.
|
Great colour
|

Apart from a pair of rear doors... Anyway OP, nice car. I've got an M3 due in a week or two in the same colour :thumb: Scoobidude - did you have a Santorini M3 before? |

Strange comment as the m3 is a two door car, I know they did some 4 doors but that would look nothing like the above and more like a normal 3 series
The new M3 is a four door, that one ^^ is the M4, which is 2 door. Edit - I think we're at cross purposes here. You mean the new M4 looks like the old M3, yes? Well, I kind of agree. |

I think we've established that we've been talking about different cars!
This is the only M3 that matters... :thumb: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps8b786075.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps09641095.jpg |
What engine / power these running now
|
I did a quick look and they are 445bhp with twin turbos, now that is very nice once you decide to map it :D
|
3ltr twin turbo, 431bhp, 550nm
|
Very nice car, OP. Would be nice of you to let us know how you're getting on with it further down the line!
|
Thanks guys.
Yes i'll keep you posted and once I've bedded in I'll write an update. Zip yes mate I had Santorini M3 before this. That was a great car and took me to the 'ring and back twice. :) RS4 was great but not so good for fun factor. It was simply too nice and too heavy to throw around. The shocks are a weak point on those cars so I would recommend finding one with suspension upgrade and that should transform it. Engine power output is also questionable as there are apparent 'coking of valves' issues.. Nick |
awesome car, colour is really nice too!!
|
PS I do know the M4 will be amazing as I had an 24 hr test drive in the local demo car.
They fly! Max torque is between 1800-5500rpm. A lot different to the E92. Nick |
That colour is stunning. Car looks great too :thumb:
|
Cheers mate.
I was expecting to get flamed on this forum for posting an M4, but thought it would be ok in Other Marques. :) Nick |
My Alpina was Santorini - great colour and very unusual.
The YMB looks great, especially in the sun. |
Without wishing to sound too stupid, what have BMW done to the naming conventions with their cars
Is there a 4 series now The car does look stunning, and as I said fantastic colour - what other "alternative" colours do they come in? |

If I had that the urge to map it once they sort one would overwhelm me :). It has to be a fecking fun once mapped considering it's just a nice car. |

Much in line with Audi naming their A4 coupe as an A5. Other colours available on the M3/4 are grey, black, white, mineral white (metallic), and Sakhir orange (which isn't really orange). Can also pay extra for a few Individual colours that are slightly different to the above. |
Ah ok, a doors thing then
Hopefully they did not do a Z4 M car The haven't done a 4 door M series for a while have they? Mmm just googled the Orange - no thanks, would be better with a flat orange like the blue |
wow. that is gorgeous!! I've just seen "prices start at 57k" that must mean you've had a decent job for the last decade since being a poor scooby boy!
Congrats and enjoy |
The blue isn't like a flat orange ;) it's metallic.
BMW made some of the previous M3's with 4 doors - quite rare to find one though. And they did make a Z4M... 2 doors, you see... I wanted ours to be the orange - until I saw it in the metal. It's more a burnt red, whereas I was hoping it was more orange akin to my Exige. Opted for the blue. |
