Test Drove an M4...

SunnyD · 09-13-2014, 11:13 AM

...and placed an order immediately afterwards

YMB/SO, DCT, Exec/Lighting. What can I say that hasn't already been said...amazing chassis, gobs of power. Only downside is that I have to wait until about January for delivery. The anticipation is going to kill me!

Welcome to the club

May I suggest adaptive suspension if you're not going to mod

Thanks! I went back and forth with the Adaptive M Suspension, but the car I test drove didn't have it and it still felt really good. Plus I think I'm going to add coil overs at certain point down the road.

If your body is young and healthy, passive suspension will be fine

It's not that stiff and feels very nice. Very usable as daily.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but if all one is looking for is a drop, can't you add sleeveovers to the adaptive suspension to get the drop and still retain the functionality of the adaptive suspension?

Funny how so many who get to drive it place an order right away

I did the same thing...

Sho nuff. Test drove an S4. Great car, but didn't really rock me.

Hopped into an M3 an hour later, drove around for 20 minutes, got out with the biggest smile I've had in years and put an order in as soon as someone somewhere would give me an allocation.

Congrats

voodoogeek · 09-14-2014, 06:41 AM

welcome to the club! I test drove the M4 two months after ordering it and it wasn't a wrong choice.

delivery in 2 weeks, feels like waiting for a lifetime...

SunnyD · 09-17-2014, 05:12 PM

Thanks everyone!

Update: My dealer received an additional allocation and it looks like my order was submitted! Beyond excited right now!
