Upgraded to a 24 M4 comp a few weeks back and traded in my 22 M240!
What has everyone done to their car? Ordered the CSL lights for it but have heard rumors of them burning out quick with just the regular LEDs. Anyone have any issues with that? Also have a valve controller on order with a mid pipe. I’m a big fan of the 50th badges so got those installed as well as tint |

I loved the M240. Perfect power for what I was looking for in a daily driver just wanted something the next step up! Best value car out there in my opinion! Would highly recommend looking into one for her! |

I went with the Zunsport as it was substantial enough for me and a great price. Many go with Mishimoto which is also a great guard. Congrats on the new car!

If the M240i was the "best value car out there" and the "perfect power for what I was looking for in a daily driver" then why did you trade it in? The more expensive and more powerful model isn't always better - it depends on your needs and plans for the car. IMO I agree that the B58 engine is perfect for daily driving and with AWD you can do a stage 2 tune and get all the power you would ever need AND be able to put it to the pavement....is the new M4 Xdrive? Are you looking to make 700whp? Take it to the track?
This is just my 2 cents. You can't change anything and I'm sure you will love the car. But I have a lot of experience with fast cars as my current Mustang makes 700whp but I rarely get to use it just driving around town....my wife's Z4 with the B58 and stage 1 tune is way more fun. And my friends 981 Porsche Cayman GTS (PDK) is stupid fun around town because of the light weight, sound, and drama...and it's not that fast... |

Now that I have a G80... make no mistake, it's big, big forward step over even that pretty high standard. |

Trotz Great upgrade.
I made a similar move from an M Performance model, a Z4 M40i, to an M3. My conclusions are the same ...the M Performance cars are great and I don't regret owning them, but I will be sticking with M cars from now on. It's just a superior driving car. The interior quality is also miles better ...Merino leather, CF trim from the factory, etc. BTW, I'm going to drive mine all year, including the winter. I decided doing PPF + getting a set of winter tires was cheaper than buying a second vehicle. Charles

I went from a modified 135i to a G82 CX and they’re two completely different experiences. Everything in the M4 is better and I’ve been very, very happy with the swap.

Even on the M lite cars with m performance parts it still doesn’t even compare to the true M cars! Congrats on the switch |

Here is the essential new M owners starter kit:
1. Rear brake caliper “M” tabs $50-60 for both 2. Zuni port Oilcooler guard :$200? 3. “M” center console badging by the shift lever: $40? 4. Ceramic Coat paint—especially since you have a black car $ <$1000 5. Screen protector for digital display/dash $60 The rest I think is pretty optional and per taste or you already covered. I want to do a valve controller next myself |
