Calling M4 owners - does it really bite?
Discussion
Hi,
I'm starting to think about changing my F10 M5 and I am strongly considering an M4. I've test driven one M4 for an hour and borrowed a different one for a weekend and other than the fact that the M4 is obviously smaller than an M5 I found them to be really quite similar. Perhaps the M4 feels a tiny bit quicker and slightly more rigid (I mostly used the same settings I normally use in my M5). Also the M5 sounds better than the M4. The M4 makes an odd, nasty racket when cold but that is well documented.
The one thing I'm most interested in but didn't really get to find out about with either M4 I drove is what the M4 is like when pushed harder in the wet. I drove the cars in the summer. The M4 has now got a reputation as a car that will bite if the road isn't perfect.
So I'd love to hear from M4 owners, past and present, about how the car is really like to drive closer to the limit (and I wouldn't love to hear from people who have read all the reviews but haven't spent a lot of time driving the car).
