Agreed. But in this car with the DCT I just prefer to jump in and go. I drive alot of cars so jumping into these from say a Mercedes it's easy for to skip your mind.
I agree I made a comment about the hand brake being needed for drifting and your right some people don't understand why BMW made it with a manual hand brake compared to an automatic hand brake. Even when you spell it out they miss the point, personally I think they see my photo ID on here n perhaps think "oh he's black he can't possibly know what he's talking about". I think in this day and age with more cars getting automatic hand brakes people do get use to em for a matter of convenience but fail to realise when you have a track day and your there with your automatic hand brake not being able to initiate a drift that there would be the reason why.
Good review. I have an M4 (15 plate) and it's fairly accurate re the pre lci equipment. Can't agree with you on the handbrake though. If you forget to take handbrake off then that's your issue
Its most likely me. I am in and out of different cars all the time. From pedal operated handbrakes to handbrakes located on the right of the drivers side (UK) its easy to forget. Car has enough torque for it to drive off with you noticing. Thank you for watching and I appreciate the feedback!
I don’t comment much on videos but the quality of this video was sensational. Really ticked everything I needed to know especially with service & fuel costs. I’m hoping to get this by the end of the year so I have a realistic target now. Thankss
Thank you very much for watching and commenting Chris! I am glad I was able to help and glad you enjoyed the production quality! Feedback means a lot to me :)
I had the M4 when it first came out in 2014. It was a monster and such great fun. On warm summer days it was just stupidly quick. Bit dodgy in wet weather however. I once floored out of the M6 toll and it almost did a 360 spin.
POINT OF CORRECTION. There is every reason for that physical handbrake. don't forget there isn't a park button on the m4 and making it physical even adds to the thrills of owning the car as well
Oh definitely its use is valid. From my perspective I drive a lot of cars. Each one has a different configuration, with most modern cars having an electronic parking brake. Comparing this car to a C63 for example it feels a little basic in that regard. I'd powerslide the car, rather than handbrake turn it. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Great review. Don't forget that you have much more flexibility in settings than just Default, M1 or M2 modes. They can all be ajdusted independently and stored in the M buttons. My favourite setting is Drivetrain Sport, Suspension Comfort, Steering Comfort and Gearshifts 2/3.
That is the setup I'd go for to be honest! Sharpened throttle response without the unnecessarily heavy steering or stiff suspension. Thanks for watching!
I think that BMW m4 is a magnificent car it's elegant beautiful really good performance it might be a little pricey but you can always wait a few years after it comes out to buy it but great car all around most prettiest one I think they've made
Good review thanks Jay. I have a 2019 competition pack in Verde Mantis and love it. Don’t know why you would give up the carbon roof to get a sunroof though!
It's a lot of car for the money. Apples to apples a Porsche for the same money won't give you the same power potential. But driving even the older stuff is incredible/ if not better. Thank you for watching!
If you have to ask why there is a manual hand brake you should not be driving an M car, and you are not a true sports car driver. You are a sports car cruiser that wants to be seen in the car vs "driving" the car it should be driven.
Seems alot of have people have taken the handbrake comment so seriously. Its difficult to understand if you don't regularly drive new cars. C63 handbrake? No. Rs5 handbrake? No. Now because of the M4's gearboxs lack of 'Park' BMW have opted for a manual handbrake. Great for skids but day to day a minor inconvenience. Don't mind it in my 911's or any other manual car I own. Thank you for watching.

@@yg78t76t7yeah but the plastic parts and seals start failing so there’s all those added costs even tho car price is cheaper. If you can work on it yourself, not an issue
@@tmfrs2 No you could throw the steering around voilently to enable the car to drift but in most cases when the car doesn't go side ways enough the hand brake is pretty necessary. Without it you get understeer in less powerful cars, especially front wheel drive cars and some 4 wheeled. Rear wheeled cars are easy to spin out even without touching the hand brake but that is specific characteristic of rear wheel drive cars. If you play Grand Tourismo on the PS you'll see its easier to drift using a handbrake. The point I was making is how can a car drift using an automatic hand brake the answer is they can't unless it's rear wheel, for most cars it's brake and throttle depending on horse power and a shed load of skill. Even then it'll be a struggle.

The armrest can be pushed forward… it has 2 positions. And the sunroof if you push it once it will pull back automatically. Unless this is because it is s 2014 version and didn’t have these functions

So what I had meant by my comment was that, most modern cars have electronic parking brakes. Push of a button to apply and easy release when you drive away. The handbrake, although cool in a hot hatch, in this it just doesn't feel at home.
@@unkownkiller9295 I think it's great value for money. It looks great, is well put together but the drive isn't really for me. I mean it's quick and you can throw it around corners, but not in a way that leaves a lasting impression.

There is a Park by the way mate, just not a button. You have to put it in 1st and press the off button. You’ll see the P show up in the dash. 👍 but yeah, the comp is totally worth it over the standard model.
Hi mate, the wheels are CMwheels Strom STR2. Not sure on the offset currently but will get back to you as soon as I find out. Thanks for watching the video!
Traditional handbrake for handbrake turns, which people who are likely to get an M4 are not unlikely to want to do so. Also easier to put the traditional handbrake for both the auto and manual than an electric for the auto and traditional for manual.
hey! watched some of your videos looking at the old F series m cars and they're been great to watch! wondering which M car you'd reach for between an early year m2 base, m3 and m4? I feel like they're all at a similar price range these days and not sure what to go with. m4 is surprisingly light, m3 has the 4 doors, and m2 seems closest to the weight and form factor of the e46 m3.
The comment you made about liking cars with fixed drive settings doesn’t make much sense bc everyone has different taste for diff situations so manufacturers should cater to that
It is more of a reference to older cars. You just drive the car to condition. Not the car changes to suit the condition. I feel as though this makes you a better driver. But you're comment is also true. Thanks for watching!
I have one of these, and also another BMW from 2021 which is filled with new technology. Most of the new stuff is either completely useless (like gesture control), or downright annoying (like Intelligent Safety, that has to be manually turned off every time you start the car). There is none of it I miss in the M4. In fact, I think the F8X has the perfect balance of analog and digital technology. Worth noting is that I am not an "M Drift Analyzer" kind of guy.
@@ks3788 Almost any 911 or Cayman GTS 4.0 would give you so much more driving pleasure for that price point. It won't be as fast in a straight line and I personally think the Porsche interior is lacking compared to BMW in the infotainment department.
@@CarswithJay Touche. Thats my second choice if I didnt get a f82 m4. A 911 or 718 gts. But I dont think they sound as good but they have potential to do the job and can put down power. But as for tech bmw wins hands down. I am a big tech guy so thats my thing. I just hate how the m4 doesnt put down its power as it should. so I have some thinking to do. I think im going to stay below 65k as I wont daily it.
That would be awesome actually! I love the convertibles because I am a sucker for putting the roof down in all weathers. Send me a message on instagram @mrjaymodi and lets discuss!
In the UK our number plates have the year of the vehicle. For example 16 means 2016 and so does 66. 17 means 2017 and so does 67. So if someone says 16 plate it means a 2016 registered car.
Been doing lot of research on the bmw m4, it was out of this or the G80 but the price of the new is just way over priced, plus I always loved the shape of this M4 since it was released. Hoping to get one middle of this year to the end! 2019/2020 model hopefully
Cars these days really are expensive, but we were overdue a price correction. The G80 is incredible. Its a vast improvement of the F80. But go with what makes sense financially overall. Hopefully you get to have both! Good luck with it mate and thanks for watching!
It was more my experience. I drive alot of cars and the parking brake moves around alot. Jumping into alot of M cars it's easy to miss it if you are in a rush. Thanks for watching anyway!
@@CarswithJay I used to be a camaro owner. But I came across M4 with a very sweet deal. Looking for weekend car. I already have my daily driver. Will the 2016 be a good car to keep 3 years from now?
@@jesusguido6986 I can see them depreciating alot in the next few years. A 2016 will be worth significantly less. Not really a car you want to have sitting in the garage. Better off with a Porsche 997. It's a nice car but the drive isn't special enough to have it just as a weekend car.
I genuinely do not understand buying these cars other than in a manual. Its the most driveable car ive ever driven. Its doing the car a disservice being automatic
I bought one in 2016. Back then everyone was bitching about the forced induction. Roll forward a few years and everyone is chatting about it...because its cheaper.
I agree to an extent. The interior I find is very poor quality. The BMW feels slightly better material wise but it’s not night and day. The engine sounds better and it’s a fun car to chuck around. But they’re generally more expensive.
The almost 100 extra hp from the c63s amg makes the difference in the price. The m4 is more equivalent to the c43 amg. Tbh i owned bmw's all my life and there was always too much cheap plastic especially in the center. Everything in my 2015 c63s is either metal or extremely nice material. Glad I went with it over a 2016 m3
@@seanrigney2349 I was the complete opposite lmao. Went from owning Mercs all my life, until I sold my 16 c63 and brought a 16 m4. The interior on the m4 feels levels above quality wise, and I prefer the sat nav screen on the m4 over the glued-on ipad look on the c63. The c63 had a more flash looking interior, but quality wise the m4 feels way better imo. Also I'm not sure where you're getting the m4 is equivalent to a c43? In a straight like the c63 feel slightly faster no doubt, but when it comes to bends there's a clear difference between the two, the m4 is simply a better driving car
Definitely looks better than the latest 2021/22 model.

But as for tech bmw wins hands down. I am a big tech guy so thats my thing. I just hate how the m4 doesnt put down its power as it should. so I have some thinking to do. I think im going to stay below 65k as I wont daily it.
@@ks3788 In that case my other choice would be an F90 M5. Brilliant cars and the refinements of the 5 series over the 4 makes it a winner.
If you forget to put it down idk what your doing 😂🤦♂️
The old bmw is very good then new one TRUST ME IS A BEATS
I have a convertible so would be interesting to compare!
That would be awesome actually! I love the convertibles because I am a sucker for putting the roof down in all weathers. Send me a message on instagram @mrjaymodi and lets discuss!
M1 and M2 buttons isn’t equal to sport and sport+
They are programmable in every setting for owners favorite and custom mode
Correct and one thing I always forget to mention! Thanks for watching.
What’s 16 plate?you said it in the end I didn’t understand that
In the UK our number plates have the year of the vehicle. For example 16 means 2016 and so does 66. 17 means 2017 and so does 67. So if someone says 16 plate it means a 2016 registered car.
is the convertible variant any good or should I go for the coupe
You will enjoy the convertible brotha. Trust me, I just purchased one yesterday
@@rickydominic5616 nice one man enjoy your car ! I’ll get the same
Reg plate is letting this car down
Where can I get those wheels????
So glad u put the unrestricted speed in the intro
Which wheels are those on the car?
The center console slides forward
Been doing lot of research on the bmw m4, it was out of this or the G80 but the price of the new is just way over priced, plus I always loved the shape of this M4 since it was released.
Hoping to get one middle of this year to the end! 2019/2020 model hopefully
Cars these days really are expensive, but we were overdue a price correction. The G80 is incredible. Its a vast improvement of the F80. But go with what makes sense financially overall. Hopefully you get to have both! Good luck with it mate and thanks for watching!
Enjoyed this Jay👍
Thank you very much for watching and the kind words!
Are all M4 models twin roof? I mean convertible?
Not all M4's are convertible. But the M4 does have a convertible variant. Thanks for watching!
Amazing review
Brilliant review mate.
Thank you I really appreciate the kind words!!
24k now way these cars go for 42k+
Absolutely agree. Luckily to find 1 for 35k with low mileage
My dream car
0p
I thought they came out 2015
Released in 2014. Plenty 14 reg cars for sale too.
anyone knows what rims are those?
STROM STR2. Thanks for watching!
How is a handbrake useless and who would forget to put it down asides from the fact of not moving? Rubbish review
It was more my experience. I drive alot of cars and the parking brake moves around alot. Jumping into alot of M cars it's easy to miss it if you are in a rush. Thanks for watching anyway!
V balanced and thoughtful analysis.
Thank you very much for the kind feedback and for watching!!
I have a week to decide if I will go pick up a 2016 M4 with the executive package 🙃
Tough decision. Depends on what else you had in mind, your budget, what you are going to use the car for and what car you are coming from.
@@CarswithJay I used to be a camaro owner. But I came across M4 with a very sweet deal.
Looking for weekend car. I already have my daily driver. Will the 2016 be a good car to keep 3 years from now?
@@jesusguido6986 I can see them depreciating alot in the next few years. A 2016 will be worth significantly less. Not really a car you want to have sitting in the garage. Better off with a Porsche 997. It's a nice car but the drive isn't special enough to have it just as a weekend car.
Awesome review mate. 👍
Thank you very much for the kind words and thanks for watching!
No
Please elaborate?
I genuinely do not understand buying these cars other than in a manual. Its the most driveable car ive ever driven. Its doing the car a disservice being automatic
I bought one in 2016. Back then everyone was bitching about the forced induction. Roll forward a few years and everyone is chatting about it...because its cheaper.
People don't like change. But then we adapt to it. The engineers are ahead of the curve. Thanks for watching you made a great purchase!
i thought the M4 came out in 2015
2014 and production stopped in 2020
Well done mate you smashed it,
Personally would like to hear more negatives
And also can you review an M240i
Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching!! M240i sounds good just need to find someone who has one and ill review it
Mercedes c63s amg is better
Why
More torque, more hp, better styling and better quality of parts used in the interior making it more luxurious
I agree to an extent. The interior I find is very poor quality. The BMW feels slightly better material wise but it’s not night and day. The engine sounds better and it’s a fun car to chuck around. But they’re generally more expensive.
The almost 100 extra hp from the c63s amg makes the difference in the price. The m4 is more equivalent to the c43 amg. Tbh i owned bmw's all my life and there was always too much cheap plastic especially in the center. Everything in my 2015 c63s is either metal or extremely nice material. Glad I went with it over a 2016 m3
@@seanrigney2349 I was the complete opposite lmao. Went from owning Mercs all my life, until I sold my 16 c63 and brought a 16 m4. The interior on the m4 feels levels above quality wise, and I prefer the sat nav screen on the m4 over the glued-on ipad look on the c63. The c63 had a more flash looking interior, but quality wise the m4 feels way better imo. Also I'm not sure where you're getting the m4 is equivalent to a c43? In a straight like the c63 feel slightly faster no doubt, but when it comes to bends there's a clear difference between the two, the m4 is simply a better driving car
