M3/M4 Sightings

Cooper Croydon has a Black Sapphire BMW M3, boy it sounded evil as it was driving off.

Stephen James of Bromley, has a Sakhir Orange M4 Coupe. Sat inside it, turned it on, OMG!! What a beast!!!! By far louder and sounds better than the E9x M3

Those of you who ordered, you're in for an amazing treat!

Btw, Sakhir Orange is Good but Not as good as in some pictures. Saphire Black is better IMO

Annoyingly I could get one, with a reasonable discount, however just not practical.

This is why the M2 would be great, I can justify that as a second car lol.

Even better when the tourer x drive version M3 comes out 2015.

An M2 or M4 will outsell the M3, why do it in a four door?

It's well known M series drivers don't have enough friends to fill 4 seats

Must be me, but I don't think that looks anything special (looks like an M Sport) - maybe it's the colour...

Sounds a nice day, have you worked out your test route?

I do prefer the 4 over the 3.

Certainly have.... up the A449/A40 to Monmouth, then back across and down the Wye Valley past Tintern to Chepstow, then M48, M5 up to Gloucester then across up to Hereford, Hay-On-Wye then back down across the beacons to Abergavenny for lunch, then round the lanes near Blaenavon down the valley then back along the M4 to Newport for drop off.

God I hope it lives up to expectations (I'm fairly sure it will)

Top Gear prefer the M4 (just) to the Cayman GTS. With the BMW, you can carry a few more humans. You should go for an M3 instead. BUT, the BMW is a land yacht and that's why I have changed and maybe you feel the same.

My next car will probably be the Golf R400, i.e. if they produce it. Nothing like a small car to whizz around in.

Yup, already been along to Porsche to find out when i can drive one. Thought you'd probably be rather keen on it.

Reality is we'll never get one as only two seats and just can't justify a third car of that expense.

Expect I'll be replacing my car on its 3rd birthday with an M4 unless something else takes my fancy in meantime..... By then discounts should make it pretty attractive.

Whatever, 335d here until its third birthday. Clearly not stopping me from doing back to back test on Monday in M3 and my car :-)

I agree the colour is pants, belongs on baby clothing!

But it does not look like an M Sport!
