I chose the Estoril Blue for my M-Sport 440i because it was an uncommon color (at the time). A person in our BMW CCA Sonora chapter has a Tanzanite Blue 4 series, so that was another reason for me to choose the Aventurin Red.... Don't want to duplicate a color you know. I think the AR will be more unique. I like unique. It's funny though how when you get a new car, in any color, you all of a sudden notice that or similar coloron more cars around you. So, like if you have a blue car, you don't notice the other colors as much. But your eye seems like it's drawn to any blue car around you. |

Excellent write up and congrats on the new car! TBII with Tartufo is such an amazing colour combination. Along with those wheels too! You're going to absolutely loooove cleaning those wheels. I know I sure did.
Regardless, continue enjoying your beautiful car safely! Cheers! |

I had to do a double, triple, quadruple take on this picture. It looks like you have big scrapes on your side door, but I'm pretty certain it's just the reflection.

Looking at those side by side pics, I'd get the M4 just for the front end! The M4 grill may not be gorgeous, but the 4 series egg crate grill - or whatever it is - really doesn't go well on the car. And, the hood of the M has much better features to blend toward the grill. Just my personal opinion.
Congrats on the M4. Enjoy!

You know what? I don't even care about the snout on the front anymore. You have to drive one to appreciate it and you'll completely look past that. Owning one? Even better. Enjoy man! Enjoy it to the fullest. What a beautiful car. |

I went from a C8 to the M4CX - Never could warm up to the M4... Sold it 6 weeks in and made a good amount of money on it.
Now I drive an iX and really like it - I really think I'm too old at 62 to appreciate the M4 - Glad you're so happy with it! |

I'm super surprised you thought the M440 was 80% of the M4C. I went from an M550 to an M5C and they are completely different cars. I would say the M550 is 10% of the M5C just in how it drives, its responsiveness and feel, how tight everything is.
Anyways, I'm in the Bay Area as well, east bay, hit me up for any fun rides. Enjoy the ride!! |

Edit: also keep in mind I’m still in the break in period so I’m not tracking it or anything yet. I do fully expect the major differences to show themselves more on the upper end of the limits in every sense of that.

As you mentioned after you spend some time in the M4 the differences will be quite noticeable. My experience is a little different. My first BMW was an F80. After having that car for a year I had to get a M340 loaner for service. It felt soft and muted. When pushed it just a bit I could feel the effort the car was making to keep pace with little driving requests. Note; I'm hyper sensitive and will notice 3 psi change in tire pressure. Perhaps it comes from my race bike days. I'll bet $1.00 (An amount I can pay lol) after 1 year if you get back in the M440 the differences will be very noticeable. Again as you mentioned that last 10% is major. You'll have an OMG moment… The level of grip, turn in and electronics is unreal. Beyond thrilled for ya man; congratulations! |

I checked MyGarage this afternoon and found out that my car is now on a ship headed for Port Hueneme, by Oxnard.
I will call BMW Genius tomorrow to find out which ship I'm on. So excited! Then it will be trucked (I assume) to my dealer in Tucson. Could possibly have my new M4C RWd by Christmas! Can't think of a better Christmas present to myself. |

I just made this switch. Well making it. I lease transferred my m440 xdrive and have a 23 m4 comp xdrive coming. Just left port.
I also own a C8. I sold that also as I have a z06 coming. I'm just a speed hound lol. Can't wait for the real ///M to arrive! |
