But you could be loving the way YOU look in your M4 with some BMW M Motorsport eyewear to match your car 2:56 - BMW Eyewear plug 3:45 - Older tech suite Like the M2 we were just in had iDrive 8 with it’s new features and frills like the laptimer and drift analyzer And earlier this summer we were in the i7 with its insane autopilot system And I guess what I’m say with this point is that it’s alittle bit of bummer that the M3 gets the new tech bits for 2023 while the M4 soldiers on with the legacy system 4:29 - Cant get stick in Comp This point is a little hard to discuss because, on one hand it’s a BMW M car and I believe a M3/4 should always have the OPTION of manual BUT on the other hand there’s a word on the back gate..and that word is Competition, and that means as fast as possible And yanno what isn’t as fast as possible? Three pedals It’s the same reason that Comps get xDrive AWD - it makes the car hevier and maybe less engaging, but it also makes it faster, and faster in more circumstances GOOD: 5:26 - Unbelieveable Performance Also the agression that you could attack a corner These G chassis cars here are unbelieveably sharp and unbeliveeably fast The chassis and balance tuning, even on the Vert here is so buttoned up - it feels so neutral like the car is almost responding telepathically You’ve got PS4S tires here wrapped around a staggered setup and the upgraded carbon disks Then there’s the adaptive dampers and BMWs M differential 7:13 - Crazy spec I know we talked about styling on the Con side of the video, but we’re here in LA with an INCREDIBLY LA spec…and I’ll always respect and appreciate the crazy colors and specs Daytona Beach Blue Almost $4000 Fjord Blue Merino interior About $2500 All comps get shadowline or black accenting But this gets shadowline laser headlights Carbon exterior package - i’ll pricing for all these things in tomorrow’s video 19 in wheels up front, 20s in the back Crazy quad tips screaming out back 8:15 - Engine S58 3.0TT I6 530 hp (+30) 479 lbft (+75) A lot of this is due to added boost in Comp trim MPG 18 for comp Non-comp gets 19 rating 9:30 - Trunk/practiclity We’re on a 10 day tour here and this thing has handled almost EVERYTHING without flinching Again, 10 days worth of stuff including hiking and camera gear and this M4 handled it surprisingly well 10:31 - Interior craziness Carbon buckets Mis-matching blue seats If you’re going to go carbon buckets with the daytona beach blue - get the blue and green carbon buckets Carbon interior trimming I mean it just looks insane! 11:13 - General tech Wireless ACP & AA 360 cameras w/ 3D view And a driver recorder that uses the cameras Reverse assist breadcrumbs Custom driver profiles and the M1 and M2 shortcuts And a $500 wireless charger that weirdly isnt part of another package 11:56 - Sound/toppless drama And the last thing I just want to touch on the drama and open-top experience that we’ve had over these last 10 days.. We felt like we were outside, experiencing it in such a more meaningful way than in a cabin We could SEE EVERYTHING - no doors or roofs blocking views And the sound you get on power was the cherry on top It was such an amazing trip and I’m so grateful for BMW having the idea and letting us spend so much time in such a special machine…final thoughts - 13:18 - Conclusion 14:00 - Greg's take
