Sounds like your getting a great deal on a superb car.

I'm in a 335d with adaptive 2107.

I'd be interested in the ACS coil overs, strut brace, ARBs and all things suspension really.
How many miles have they done?

Congratulations, an excellent move IMHO!

M-cars do make for great daily drivers as well as fun cars and I feel like everything I've had since my E46 M3 CS has been a backward step to a greater or lesser degree. My E92 335i and current F31 both have similar straight line performance - and in some respects more usable performance as well - but all that does is demonstrate there's far more to a driver's car than straight line urge (although the M4 will obviously have plenty of that as well! ).

As manual M4's from stock will be like the proverbial rocking horse droppings I assume you've gone DCT?

Thanks, yes agree with that sentiment. I went for the M car as I wanted that drivers car without having to modify to get it.

DCT as it's a daily driver, so that was essential for me and Mrs Tengocity. And besides, the bmw manual box isn't exactly the finest, and I've got the Boxster for manual fun still.

Yes indeed, externally it will be, though looks like yours had a black interior?

You didn't like yours?

Were the black grilles on from new or did you have to change them?

Yes, although I'm a big fan of a manual gearbox for fun I'd have to concede that for a daily driver the DCT makes a lot of sense and to be honest it's probably the way I'd go in your situation.

An M4 CP DCT and a manual Boxster S is the sort of car combo any petrol head would be very happy with - enjoy!

Yeah mine had full black leather interior.
Black grilles are standard.

Yes, I think so too, and to be fair, I feel like the proverbial dog with two tails.

I'm very thankful that Mrs Tengocity allows my indulgences!

I've driven a car before and after, and the performance is extraordinary, so perhaps at some point, but quite frankly the standard performance was more than enough for me.

Dependant on where you go, you could conservatively get over 520bhp/680nm (+70/+130) on a traditional stage 1. With Bootmod3, it really depends what you want and whether you get OTS (off the shelf) or one of the bespoke maps. As with all maps, its not always about headline figures but altering the mid range ability.

Might be interested in the diffuser, as was thinking that and the CF boot spoiler might be good. How much?
