New m4 picked up today.

Picked up my new m4 from knights in Stoke. 2 hours from home ( my lovely wife dropped me off ). So I had a few hours driving back in the twisties.

What a car! Very intoxicating. The sound I love. The power even better. The technology is incredible but it feels almost like one of my bikes in that there is a real connection between myself and the car.

Will send photos and review later.

Wait till you learn how to drive it, that takes a few thousand miles. Congrats.

I have done 600 miles now and still feel I know nothing about how to drive it, all the modes to chose from... I do have my seating position sorted though!

Take your time you just start to develop a pre flight routine. I had an m5 with about 212 performance settings took me about 5000 miles to truly get good at the full driving capabilities of the car. Tried some m5 zero to sixty fun against my friends B7, in the beginning I'd be wheel spinning and he'd be two car lengths ahead, until I figured out how to properly Launch, then it was all over.

Yes I'm at that stage now when I'm just spinning and not getting even 60% out of it but still on break in I guess...

I think it's going to take a while to get a good understanding with the beast

Few photos- not quite getting the hang of posting them!

Bit of a drive out today- still running in but the car still feels motorbike fast!

Yeah, actually really nice subtle colour for the interior.

I keep looking at this site for ideas, there are some amazing cars with superb parts and accessories fitted.Seem very expensive though, that carbon fibre front spoiler is rediculous!!

I want to get into car track days and will no doubt be spending my money on tyres!
