I just got my fiance a 4 Series convertible w the M appearance package and maybe that is why I was struck by how much more muscular the car is from seeing her white 4 series in the driveway. I have decided against getting a 911 and will order my M4 in January just in time for spring. My 911 is great (the new 991 EVEN better) but honestly it isn't $40k better than the M4....
I totally agree with you. I took a few pictures of the M4 that I saw today (below) and they don't really capture the real thing for some reason. I mean, I'm looking at my phone's screen, then at the actual car, and I'm thinking "What is wrong with my pics". It's like the time I was taking pictures at Grand Canyon... As you said, the difference is that M4 looks way more muscular and sporty than it does in pics. Even if you enter a room full of 435i M Packs and just 1 M4, you would notice the M4 in a second, and you would know that it's a very different beast.

I'm almost sure about the combo, but my only concern is that, for example today in Boston, there is heavy rain and it's 65F in the middle of summer. In such a day, when I see my blue car it makes me happy. Mineral gray wouldn't feel like that, it wouldn't excite you in a boring day. But I love SO interior very much, and it doesn't go well with any of the exciting colors. So yes, I'm still not 100% sure. There is also a possibility that I'll go with CF roof. I would like to have the moonroof, but it's not very big, and it feels like it's a bit too behind. The driver (me) wouldn't really enjoy it very much.
