yeah, when it first came out I thought the front is hideous especially with light colours like AW; and until I saw it in person, loved it! then came the test drive, loved it more, and bought it lolz

havent had a real photoshoot of the car yet, kinda busy lately, will post more when I get a chance

That looks real nice. If you happen to have any straight on side photos outside in the sun that would be awesome.

Really nice. I'm thinking about doing the wheel but the parts required are a bit confusing to me (trying to add up the total cost).

Looks like heating is maintained which I also wasn't sure about.

Do you happen to know if the CF parts from the factory wheel can be applied to the alcantara wheel or do you need to buy the wheel and all the CF bits making the factory wheel a "throw away"?

Your ride looks great! Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Official ALPINE WHITE G80 M3 / G82 M4 Thread

Hey Guys and Gals,

Long time no speak! It is that time again to obviously upgrade and of course we cannot leave a car stock standard. It just would be a shame to leave things as "vanilla".

One thing that I must say that having had now 4 generations of ///M's one can truly see the evolution of BMW's and their philosophy of design and what they are bringing to the market. Some things are positive, something are negative and some things have remained the same.

Anyways, since taking delivery last week Wednesday (28th July 2021) - the whole ordering system and how we can spec cars has very much become a frustrating thing. I wanted to order a full spec M4 X-Drive with all the bells and whistles to only be told that many things would be unavailable for up to a year. Meaning I would have to wait for around mid June/July 2022 to get my exact spec. With that being said, if I wanted to order now, I would not be able to get certain options:

- Harmon Kardon
- Laser lights
- Carbon Ceramic Brakes
- Carbon Seats
- Wireless Charging

Taking into consideration the above and my want for a new G8x I decided to see what was available in country and found myself finding an ok spec. It ticked most of the boxes however things that were missing was Carbon Ceramics (something I could live without), Carbon Seats, extended leather and Carbon Exterior Package. For the most part besides the brake upgrade and seats the carbon package is something I could do afterwards with M Perf parts.

Here is the spec:

- G82 G82 M4 Competition Coupé (32AZ)
- Alpine White III (300)
- Leather Merino extended Black (LKSW)
- 19"/20" M forged wheels Double-spoke style 826 M

The rest is pretty standard with the normal bells and whistles.

Planned modifications:

- BMW M-Perf Springs
- BMW M-Perf 963M wheels
- BMW CF Air Inlets
- BMW M-Perf CF duct gills
- BMW M-Perf Mirror Caps
- Front Attachment - Not sold on the current M-Perf one
- Rear Diffuser - Would like to see what Akra releases before looking at the M-Perf one.
- Rear Spoiler - hoping something better than the M-Perf comes out
- Side Rocker Blade and Winglet - Not a fan of the huge wing they have introduced.
- Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust (already preordered)

The car is currently at my detailer getting paint correction and PPF (high impact zones, not a full PPF again, it was a waste on my M2C) including ceramic coating.

Here are some pics of the car so far with its current detailing:

Wait, since when is Harmon Kardon, laser lights, CCBs, and carbon buckets not available?

We've all known wireless charging has been removed but the others have been either standard (HK) or available options that have been added to orders so far.

Has no one been delivered a AW on Ivory car yet? I figured there would surely be someone who loved the 80s a little too much.

Just snapped a couple when I was out for dinner. Plan on doing a more serious shoot later.

AW is seriously underrepresented for some reason, I was regretting getting such a basic color but when I saw it in person I was so relieved. It looks astounding.



Also orange and carbon fiber were made for each other.

The hell? That's a base m3 but it has the comp seatbelts with the stitching. I was kinda pissed when my base didn't have that.
