Tonight BMW M4 @ Top gear

erind · 02-15-2015, 05:51 AM

Jeremy test drives the new BMW M4 at the track whilst Richard pays tribute to the Land Rover 4x4 that has been in production for 66 years. James is on the Top Gear track to test the brand new, 500 horsepower Mercedes-AMG GT.

This should be fun to watch

@ tonight at BBC2

Yes the i8 also in the same episode

pr0gi · 02-15-2015, 07:03 AM

cant wait!

M4LAKA · 02-15-2015, 07:55 AM

Amazing!
Been waiting for this.

Bob Santorini · 02-15-2015, 09:30 AM

I'm sure they'll like the car overall but I bet he mentions the active sound and lack of traction in our cold weather (assuming the test was in the recent months in UK).
Looking forward to it and hopefully Stig will do a good lap around the test track.

They are doing both.
And Merc AMG GT on top:

Should be fun. I had set my DVR to record, as I hardly ever watch anything in real time.

I have BBC America on Comcast. What time does it air on the West Coast? It says 8:30 PM Mondays?

m4pewpew · 02-15-2015, 12:19 PM

Ah finally!

Accel Junky · 02-15-2015, 01:25 PM

Prediction:

M4 gets panned on engine sound and the color (if they have an AY) BUT they'll get it VERY sideways and they'll love the power. Overall, it's great but "missing something".

Wo-Wo · 02-15-2015, 01:28 PM

Looking forward to it, even persuaded the wife to watch it!

My thoughts the same re the sound.. Although I'm pretty sure they are using a YMB example as i saw it during a clip on the first show of this series..
Oh well it's on in 30mins so we'll see..

It is a YMB car. Here's the trailer for the episode. You can see it at 11 seconds in.

8600RPM · 02-15-2015, 01:46 PM

This doesn't air until mondsy on BBC america. Dang

8600RPM · 02-15-2015, 01:48 PM

Prediction. He will talk about all amazing dynamics, power delivery, sounding angry despite piped in sound but ultimately say it's the end of an Era for the m3 which I know he loved every generation of so far

Nice one! Just caught this alert from you at 19:58 #glued
Ps were going to get slated....

myzmak · 02-15-2015, 02:09 PM

Remember, JC has written about the M4 at least 3 times and drove it in the Xmas special.

I too hope it is just clear praise.....but this car is a change for BMW and....let's see where he goes.

Motorat · 02-15-2015, 02:27 PM

The setup.......

Episode will be on in a bit and we will know the outcome.

Colinv6 · 02-15-2015, 02:34 PM

It was a YMB M3 not an M4.. Great praise indeed for the car. A real no nonsense article for once!

erind · 02-15-2015, 02:56 PM

He loved the car

myzmak · 02-15-2015, 03:05 PM

I will avoid the spoiler for people, but (a) he loves the M3 (see quotes above), and (b) watch the whole thing, and (c) see (a) above....
