End of a wee era - 335d is going, M4 is coming!

nastynick83 · 07-22-2018, 04:20 PM

Congratulations!

Interesting that you're going from 335 to a 4 series. I assume you won't miss the rear doors?

I would be interested in suspension if you do decide to put back to stock-ish.

Where are you based (if you don't mind me asking)

Probs will miss the tourer at times, but have always gone for practical and sensible, but fancied a coupe for a change. Maybe impending mid life crisis or something! But having had the tourer and the saloon 330e, felt like it had to be the M4. Still have a 330e too so should be fine with that, then if we are missing the tourer the 330e can be swapped for an estate or suv next year when the lease ends.

I'm in south Oxfordshire btw.

More people have M4s than 320Ds these days

Enjoy the car mate M cars are certainly special, I get excited at the thought of driving mine, it's just so much more than a regular M Sport.

nastynick83 · 07-22-2018, 04:31 PM

It's a shame they don't do the 330e in a tourer. Or being really picky, I would have loved the X3 in a PHEV as we've just replaced the wife's car and that would have been perfect.

Great choice though; I think there's something a little more special about the M4 over the M3.

I'm in the midlands so not a million miles away. Just thinking out loud; if you were taking your suspension off could swap for stock (and or with ACS springs) from mine at the same time - but presume you have the stock stuff anyway?!

robwils · 07-22-2018, 04:34 PM

Congratulations, car sounds great, know what you mean about the 0% deals.

That's not a bad suggestion if the timings worked out. I do have standard adaptive to go back on though. I was thinking that it would be nice to put at least ACS springs back on, but I sold them after I got the coilovers.

Congrats and well played.

That's yet another M car owner.

Seems everyone has taken the plunge recently.

Hooded · 07-22-2018, 04:55 PM

Yes indeed, common as muck now these M3/4's in here lol!

But seriously, congrats and really pleased for you Tengo. I'm sure you will love it.

I guess you'll get some Bedford track sessions booked with Guy and Co sooner or later so you can stretch its legs properly.

lethbridge · 07-22-2018, 05:26 PM

Congratulations- seemed inevitable that common sense would prevail - really can't recall a better time to get into a new M car! I'm picking my M3 CP up tomorrow - it's been at the dealer for several weeks but had to delay as I've been doing a bit of a roadtrip holiday from the SW to north of Aberdeen and so the RIS would have been due mid trip which clearly wouldn't work and you really need it done on time due to warranty etc. + the extra space in the GT was handy... You must get the MPE is all I would add...

Zippee · 07-22-2018, 07:50 PM

Seems to be the trend at the moment, well done Terry!

Do you have a delivery date yet?

You'd think, and I'm sure there will be a bit of peer pressure there, but the intention is to use the Boxster for the track days. I'm sure I'll be tempted in to trying it on one of short sessions some time, but on track I'm enjoying really pushing it, which I just wouldn't be prepared to do in a new M4.

Kal101 · 07-23-2018, 03:27 AM

Congratulations.

Keep thinking of doing the same but head rules the heart

Junebug85 · 07-23-2018, 03:30 AM

Congrats mate

Just curious... What's the mileage on your 35d at the moment? I know it's more than 100k.

JustChris · 07-23-2018, 03:44 AM

Well Well Well. M4 indeed, nice choice, enjoy

and congrats

Lagemba · 07-23-2018, 04:22 AM

Congratulations I must say I'm very jealous. Hope you enjoy your new toy, treat that beast with the respect it deserves!

Will get some pics when I pick it up!

Silverstone exterior with black 666 wheels
Full Silverstone interior, so that includes dash and door tops.

HUD, SLD, HK, Adaptive LEDs, CF interior, reversing camera and other little bits and pieces.

I could have ordered one to exact spec, but I've ended up ordering an even more expensive one and missed having it this summer, and this one had all my must have spec items.

It doesn't have Comfort Access, which was my preference, to reduce risk of theft!

Congratulations.

Silverstone would be my choice if I had 60k sloshing about.

I'll be saying goodbye to my F31 335d in a couple of weeks.
It's been a great car, but i'm sure I'll have forgotten all about it after an hour in the next one.

Enjoy.

Rukka · 07-23-2018, 05:05 AM

Well played Terry

Well played

They'll be no regrets there - wonderful cars as I'm sure you know already.

The 0% finance offers make them really attractive an I expect we'll be seeing a lot more on the roads over the coming months. When I was having my "issues" I know the order book was full until mid September and these cars were for private buyers not dealer stock!

Silverstone is a lovely colour - looking forward to seeing the collection pics
