I went for moonstone exterior, black interior with silver stitching and alcantara wheel, the standard wheels with carbon brakes, the carbon rear spoiler and diffuser, and polished titanium pipes. YUMMY. Shame there is no smaller wheel option as I would have chosen this for sure.

BTW Great idea guys; it will be really interesting to see what people choose. I still find it amazing what some people feel is attractive spec-wise (when my father was speccing his Alpina D5 the salesman told him that he had previously sold a D5 in Dakar Yellow!).

I assumed the M4 would be a four door version of the M3, obviously not. getmecoat

You didn't actually enter your details and submit it, did you?. rofl

Even if everyone voted for Orange the "result" would be whatever colour BMW thinks will retain the most value when PH return the car to them. That would also explain the lack of choice in gearbox or other major options.
"BMW group makes a loss in 2014 after the motoring website Pistonheads spec'd a car in orange"
As explained before this is one of the first to be produced so the first run will be autos not manual,

Must be hard getting through the day being that cynical?

Not at all, I find my cynicism to be quite enjoyable.

That based on lots of personal experience?

It is just as exciting as the e90 M3's V8, which I know isn't the V10 but shares many of the same mannerisms.

I have to admit, as an individual who has surpassed the age of trustworthiness*, I have little interest in the M4 and would swap it for an M3 w/o a moment's hesitation. Sure wish BMW would break untrod ground** and go to turbo-compounding.*** Linear power-bands are best...

Fly low & avoid the radar!


1* - Know your Timothy Leary quotes? wink

2* - Since turbo-compounding is 60+ year-old tech, but the ground remains untrod, you might have figured out that it's only been used in airplanes, which don't suffer from a turbo's discontinuity anyway. Go figure! rolleyes

3* - Maybe if BMW started digging thru proven tech from WWII, we might start seeing some other manufacturers make similar "progress?" biggrin

I've read a few folk on here saying otherwise.

Submitted. Shame there was no option for Estoril Blue. I was tempted by the orange but went for blue in the end along with black leather and blue stitching, avoided all the carbon fibre rubbish. Also a shame there was not option to have the racing steering wheel without the carbon fibre so that was left out as well.
