M3/M4 Test Drive
Discussion
Went to look at the M3/M4, really I'd thought I'd decided on something else and was just going to finally rule it out. Hoping to change soon from B7 RS4, considering rs6, rs5, m4 and v8 vantage's.
Both cars in the showroom in black with black wheels, M4 looks stunning in the flesh in this colour imo, really blown away by the looks. I'd seen some on the road before in white and red and they didn't do anything for me.
Had a test drive in the M3. Impressions, seats are really comfy and the leather is high quality. Biggest downside of the car for me is the interior, the interior quality is just not a patch on the equivalent Audi's imo, some of the plastics and buttons are really sub par. The section of plastic below where the seats belts comes out isn't even fixed on solid and you can push it in, the kind of plastic you find in a ford fiesta. I'd go as far as to say the quality, fit and finish on my 2007 RS4 is better quality than modern BMW's. Definitely heard some rattles when driving
The bonnet bulge is huge when you're driving the car, huge. Demo car had HUD which i thought was awesome but the 3 grand repair bill if you crack the windscreen would put me off. Loved the steering wheel and the steel feel was perfect. Speed of the car I thought was incredible, rip your face off fast, wow. One of the things I was most interested in was the noise and I thought it was alright, it seems a really loud raw and wild car and whilst it's no V8 I thought it was a decent noise. Ride quality wasn't too good, in sport plus mode at least, can't remember how much better the other modes were. Had a great test drive though, the car is loads of fun and I went in with ruling it out at the back of my mind but came away seriously considering it.

I contacted my mercedes dealers to see if they had one in the showroom before i went to look.
"We don't and we're sold out until June, please let me know if you want a build slot" So gonna pass on the C63, besides I think it's expensive, not sold on the looks and probably couldn't live with the interior screen on the dash.
