In real life, it gets a ton of compliments. But sure different strokes for different folks. Quote:
Metropolitan Detail gave it wash as part of touching up the PPF. And they've given me another free wash coupon for their express location, so will take advantage of that too. What's worse about the roads now is the horrible potholes that have opened up all over the place. I have to remember where all the bad ones are and be in specific lanes or aligned within the lane in a certain way to completely avoid them. What makes these cars special is the ability to make it exactly like you want it to be. And I expect when a group of ///Ms come together, it'd look so good due to the variety and individuality in there. Black on black is super-menacing looking and is a great look cruising down the road.

Im so torn now on enzian or smb for my g80x.... smb is my favorite shade of blue in life, but enzian is more of a unique and rarer color.... augh lol
I just hate that there's toyotas out there with a similar shade of blue. I have yet to see how dynamic it is in person |

Overall it comes together very well in real life and complements the spoiler in completing the look of the car at the rear as a whole.

Even within the BMW individual selection, there are many blues that look the same in some conditions and then go off wildly in different shades and hues based on the environment. They for sure don't make it easy to know what your getting. And after you get it, you may still not understand how that varies from the other shades you could have gotten unless you find somebody with that shade* in a current generation car and you hang out together over various weather conditions (these shades have revision numbers on them too - like I have the fifth revision to Enzian). * this could just basically be impossible since how rare just getting individual is, combined with where you are, etc.

First handwash where I washed the car myself vs. detailer (interior and door jambs weren't cleaned yet). The side skirts like to act like a grit trap (from sand on roads during snow) and are difficult to clean where it becomes too narrow of your fingers to reach in. I think full body PPF (especially for the carbon fiber clear coat) is important.
Approaching a thousand miles. Raking up the miles to break-in since I have an appointment for other stuff that'd ideally include break-in. Started occasionally let rpms cross 4500. This thing can be ballistic! Unrelenting acceleration that seems to have no drop at any speed that won't get you arrested on public roads. Maybe it can be better from 0 to 10 mph. I feel better thrust from my X5 45e very low down so I'm already betting the first hybrid M car will be superb - taking away any instant torque advantage from high-perf electric cars.

Yup, both the side skirts and the rear winglets like to collect a bunch of little sand/pebbles from the road. Have to clean those out every so often. Easily done with some compressed air.

Is enzian a metallic blue?
I want to go individual with my build (still probably a year out from ordering) Right now I'm between enzian and voodoo blue with ivory interior |

No, it's no metallic. Anything listed as under 'uni' under the individualizer is not metallic. Neither Enzian nor Voodoo is metallic but you won't go wrong with either. Ivory is also good - I have it in my X5. But be aware that Ivory on the M4 loses bits of contrasting alcantara that the standard colors have. I'd personally have picked Silverstone if I was going for a white on the M4. And I'd have done that if my last two cars didn't have white interiors. Needed some variety.

I like the ivory specifically because it deletes the Alcantara actually. I'm in the minority on that one, but to me it feels a little more special that way. Seeing voodoo and enzian next to each other would probably help, I'm very torn on what to get. |

This is my new desktop wallpaper.
All the green grass, the general solitude, the trees, and the sun in the distance calm me down. And in the middle of this serenity, quietly inviting me to stroll over when I'm ready is... my individual preference of perfection.

Had TireRack do an at-home wheel-and-tire set swap from winter to summer for $60+tax.
Bought these 963Ms with PS4S tires back in December when I saw them noticeably below their regular price on a local dealership website ($5,578 before tax). Not the best picture as I'm super-busy now, but shows how 963Ms go with Enzian. I prefer the 825Ms for some reason with the color of the car, but maybe it'll grow on me again like it did with my last car (orbit grey wheels). Some thoughts on PS4S on these wheels vs. Continental ExtremeContact DWS on 825Ms: - road noise is higher (than the factory Pirellis too) - the sticky rubber picks up small pieces of gravel and they spray around in the wheel-well / underbody that you can hear clearly at 5-20 mph speeds. - turning the steering wheel at standstill on concrete creates a squeaky screechy racket from the tires scrubbing on the ground. - grip is spectacular (I'm used to PS4S so this wasn't unexpected). - since these are the lightest wheels BMW makes, do I feel the reduced unsprung mass? Maybe? Barely. Something that bugs me with this car: unlike my X5, even with the right tire settings (after setting tire type, size and speed), it almost never wants to tell me any recommended tire pressure settings front or rear. Once randomly it told me something, but that never repeated. My X5 tells me specific values in real time taking into account temperature and it's also visible in the MyBMW app.

Absolutely stunning car! First M4 where I like the M Performance spoiler / wing.

I think the squeaky noise on the concrete will likely go away after a bit. Probably just due to them being new, no?

It took me a few days but now I love them over the 825Ms. The squeaking's gone already.
