He's one of the very few people on here who can actually afford to buy one of these cars, so it's probably us that should be green. What he will be is unsurprised. He hasn't been overly impressed with the dealers' service over the years. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Hope "M3_power" does not see this, he may be very jealous he didnt get invited LOL ... I guess I deserved that for the posts I've put up ... but not really jealous at all ... far from it. Don't think Tom will be jealous... He's one of the very few people on here who can actually afford to buy one of these cars, so it's probably us that should be green. What he will be is unsurprised. He hasn't been overly impressed with the dealers' service over the years. Nail on the head Jooles It's more the treatment from dealerships over the actual day. Anyway, after seeing this video I am far from impressed ... 75hp down and 1.4 quicker on a short circuit... LOL ultimate driving machine I think not. The handling looked a handful through all the sections of the circuit when the Porker just looked absolutely planted. Either BMW missed the mark once again with the handling on this or the tyres are letting what should have otherwise been a good handling car down again. Judge for yourself, but I don't think any of us on here are more qualified than the test driver in the video.

vtgts300kw 90 Report post Posted July 30, 2014 It's also a couple hundred kilograms lighter, and $100k more expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) It's also a couple hundred kilograms lighter, and $100k more expensive. I think you are over exaggerating the price difference. More like £10k at most spec for spec. Also yes lighter without extensive use of carbon fiber ... So if Porsche can be such light weight the bimmer should be lighter.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah, because a Porsche really is a useable four seater, where the M is really only a two-seater, oh wait, what... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zadkiel 41 Report post Posted July 31, 2014 The video compares it against the base 911, not an S. However I do think that M4s and 911s will rarely be competing for the same buyers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ugan 41 Report post Posted July 31, 2014 Porsche showing off its 911 Chassis at it's absolute best. I am a fan but I am sure the development budget of this alone may been the entire program of work for the 4series coupe. Its great to see M4 taking the fight to a full on Sports Car costing roughly 80K more, this is the grin factor for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
