Agreed, I'm going with an M440 for a daily, but have a great appreciation for the M4.

I'd bet you could get a base white one and wrap it a lot sooner....

That lip on the outside of the wheel arch is there to comply with Euro requirements. Will not be on US bound cars.

Frozen dark grey metallic is the bomb. Get lots of compliments. Just ceramic coat it and put Xpel on the hood, bumper and mirrors. Have had for a few months and no issues with any marks. I use Adams matte detailer to wipe off dust and marks. [IMG][/IMG]

There was a time US requirements were much worse than the European ones. How the turntables...

The G8X order guides name the color “Frozen deep grey”. Are we sure this is the same paint as the Frozen dark grey that’s you have and that’s been around for a while? Both look great but might not be or look the same side by side?

That white front end looks really mean looking. Even more so than on the IOMG one. It defiantly says get the f'k out of my way! That's the abbreviation for FireTruck by the way! 😏

Would love to see M3 and M4 side by side in the same color. I think it would then be easier to see the differences. Nice that these pics have the M4 in IOMG so we can compare to the previous IOMG M3.

I think it is more the derogatory remarks they made towards those that did not agree with their view, and possibly their bitter repetitive criticism (too much hate as you say), that got them banned. I don't think just saying you don't like, or that you hate, something about the car gets you banned.

Yep, simple as that. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But keep it respectful, cordial and no personal attacks. Lessons from elementary school 😉

These cars make supercars look tame. Is that good?

Because they're not that.

Still uncertain about styling and still worried about how it's going to drive given increased weight and size. Having said that, feel so lucky that I have the means to get one if it grows on me. 1st world decisions

Here in Canada it's listed in the G8X M3 configurator as Frozen dark grey metallic. So seems to be the same here as in the original pics.

If you go to the pricing,ordering... section here and open the Canadian pricing thread and then the M4 pdf you see that it’s listed under options as Frozen deep grey but in the M3 guide it is listed as frozen dark grey, likely a typo in the M4 guide then.
