M4 ownership & costs.
Hi guys,
I am looking into buying a M4 within the next few months and wondered if you could give me a rough guide on costs for services and parts (if needed) etc. As much feedback as possible would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. |

£65 petrol tank and lasts me about 150-230 miles
Run in service was £240 Assuming other service will be about £500-£700 after 5k miles rear tyres need replacing very soon and around £270 each modding is my biggest cost |

Thanks for replying, doesn't seem too bad if I'm honest. Its aways going to be more than what I pay now as I have a Fiesta. I would say my mileage is currently about 4-5k per year. I have seen on the net that modding for BMW's is expensive.
Cheers. |

Costs and MPG
I have the service pack; it currently costs £1050 and is likely to prove to be good value over time.
I regularly have to do long motorway journeys and the M4 is great to cruise in. B*stard average speed cameras at 50mph on the M1 and M6 slow me down, but help fuel consumption. I regularly get 35-37mpg over the 160 mile journey. Well, I achieve that for the first 150 miles of it before I enjoy the reward of country roads for the last 10! I had the car out thrashing round last weekend and using launch control for the first time. Still got 16mpg giving it the beans solidy for an hour. |

Service pack is a must
Save quite a bit of ££££££ over the 5 year service plan if you did keep her, £1000 service plan or £2500 Approx for services depending on millage per year, Ford to BMW big jump !!!!!! But OMG What fun you will have with a M4 offftttt :th umbsup: |

Thanks for replying, much appreciated
Fuel consumption won't bother me 'smiles per gallon' ;-) Yes Ford to BMW is a huge jump, especially the M4, i was originally interested in the A45 but after a test drive at the weekend i was disappointed, was not all it was made up to be, maybe i was expecting too much, i dunno. It just didn't feel that fast! Also took the M235i out for a test drive at the weekend and it was awesome, which made me think how good the M4 is! Daz. |
