Finally saw an M4 in person after picking up my C63 from being serviced at the dealership which is next door to a BMW dealership. The car looks tons better in person. The proportions show better in a physical walk around than on camera.
Fantastic review, I agree with the comment about it being comfortable when your in comfort and sporty when in sport. As it’ll be my daily I still do want a comfortable/efficient ride but when it’s time to put down the power; something that can do that job also😎🏁
good point about the seat being worn by the time it hits 2nd owner, good review all round actually (for a brand i dont even like all that much) sensible, direct, not shouty (like most you tubers) down to earth comprehensive car review without any BS like 'lets warm up the tyres' or other stuff that owners will never do with there pride and joy, just a good honest drive. all the info you need and none you dont. a REAL review channel at last.
Wonderful 1000 km status video, Joe ! Can’t wait for your experience with your incoming M3. Considering changing from M340i to M3, if I feel it is a worth while change.
I think a great deal of the improvement in traction may simply be down to the 4S tyre. I have a 2019 F82 (I know the dampers etc have changed from the original launch cars) and changed to the 4S and it has transformed the car from a traction perspective. Really, night and day. Would like Joe to try one and see what he thinks.
Great review Joe. Honest feedback about the seats. Another thing with those seats is that the CF piece would be in the way of manual transmissions specs. I went with the comfort seats AND Tanzanite Blue. Hopefully I don't regret! Cheers
Great video Joe! Nice to hear your thoughts after a few more miles. The Tanzanite looks lovely but shame about the swirls. A good ceramic should help with that!
Was shocked at first by the nose but now I think it's absolutely brilliant, grown on me very quickly and the main reason why other than it being daring is it's absolutely super aggressive look which is exactly what a car like this should have to match it's performance and package and the number plate sits perfectly to definitely make it easier on the eye and that bonnet is something else too
I like the front end. It screams BMW to me. I lived in Germany 90-92 and the BMW emblem was taller than it was wide. This is a play on that. I like the other but this screams iconic BMW to me.
Gotta admit that grill is starting to grow on me. I hate it in chrome on the base 4 series but in the jet black on the m4 with the extended arches it looks do mean.
I think these would look great with the front number plate in the ‘Alfa Romeo’ position (passenger side) and number plate plinth removed, they were clearly designed without the front plate in mind.
I do like the shape of the M3 and sometimes really love what they’ve done but it doesn’t seem to last, I’m definitely not a fan of the M4 lines though. I’m keeping an open mind to the styling but won’t be swapping my F80 Comp just yet.
i did nt like the front of the M4 at the beginning, now i m getting obsessed by its design: the 2 vents on the bonnet and the curves on the rear quarter panel, the rear diffuser and 4 exhausts, better than a Porsche 992 !
Although i found your reviews enjoyable to watch I've claimed your bias to BMW in the past but I have to say my opinion of that is changing. Hope you're enjoying every moment Joe
What an amazing and beautiful car 😍 If that doesn't win a bucket load of awards for its class then I will be gobsmacked. I cannot wait for your M3 to arrive, I think its going to be awesome 👍
An exhaustive review of a genuine car/BMW enthusiast. Brilliant. 👍 We've learned today that Joe's M3 won't be blue. What colors are left, red maybe? I really hope it's not going to be green... 😬
I have to say I agree with you on the way the looks grow on you...I was extremely undecided when this design was launched but now I think it looks fantastic. It has got a real European muscle car look about it in my opinion. Great video as always mate, thanks for sharing 👍
Joe get yourself upto Blakey Road in North Yorkshire moors. Its a fast flowing 14 mile long mountain pass and what a road. Stevie Sutcliffe described it as the best road in England. Just been up there today in my Cupra
Joe - this review was great. I do own the new M4 so it may sound bias, but a really good review and I agree with the points you make -- mine is in Dravit Grey and yes, it does swirl in the paint too, you have to be really careful when washing it and nearly always end up polishing it - think I'll get it ceramic coated to help. So ... back to the review. The points you raise about the carbon bucket seats... spot on! The only reason I didn't go with that option was the wear and tear factor and the carbon harness piece in the seat base... you proved that right and it's an important one if prospective owners love the new seat styling, but want to keep the look good long term. Yes, the gesture control was cool at first, but when it starts to operate without you wanting it to .. time to deactivate. The seating position is pretty special I agree, with the layout and cabin tech, you couldn't want more really. I like the ability to select the colour mood with the dash led, foot wells and side pockets too, night driving is a pleasure in the car. The performance, it's everything you'd need. I haven't pushed, or launched my car yet as it's running in, but a slight glimpse of what's to come with the correct settings activated is something to look forward to. Question for you - did you play about with the gearbox settings at all, in M1 or M2 mode? If so, which were your favourite settings S1,2,3 DSC, etc..... I'm undecided. I would like swift gear changes up, but when you take your foot off the gas, it remains at high revs for too long, like it wants to carry on speeding through gears, so makes you sound like a boy racer when backing of the accelerator pedal.... what's your opinion on that? Anyway, thanks for another vid - and I reckon we'll all look forward to the big grin on your face when you show us the M3 you're getting.... I bet that won't get the"track" treatment as much right? 🤣😎
Hey Joe, I'm here just to say that your content keeps on improving and I love it. When it comes to M4, at first I thought its horrific, but now it's seems well balanced. M3 is a beast with those big arches, comparing to M4, which I see more like a GT car than a sporty coupe....
Joe i have to admit i gave BMW a lot of hate online because of the new grille but when i saw a 4 series in real life it doesnt look that bad because in photos and videos it looks way bigger and bloated but everything is smaller in real life...hardly wait to see an M4 in real life :) good job as allways 👍 by the way in the future when you are going abroad maybe you can review an M3/M4 with a manual? Would be great to hear your honest as allways opinion about it...cheers
Thanks Joe for another great, real and honest review. This review confirms, the M4 should be my next car. Very happy to hear that the comfort is good enough for relaxed cruising. So it seems it's a perfect Jekyll & Hyde car. I will wait for the x-Drive version. Hopefully those are not too heavy and hopefully the x-drive does not reduce the steering feeling too noticeable and hopefully the car body is not higher than the real wheel version. (like the difference is in the normal 5 series). Would you really rather recommend the Michelin compared to the Pirellis comfort wise ?...In terms of colours it's hard to decide, my current favourites are black, Dravit grey or aventurine red!

You should make that little track your home course for performance cars get your own lap board going! And get a tyre sponsor- crashed my boxster in the ice with sport maxx Dunlop’s and transformed my passat sport with Michelin cross climates.

The darker paint colours do hide the ”controversial” front end which requires an acquired taste 😀 BMW has lost it’s design language and is all over the place even though the product themselves are great..

I'm starting to see them on the roads here in Southern California and it's always exciting to see that grill. I think the grill is growing on as well. As I've mentioned on another video of yours I'm hoping for the i4.
Hello there i’m connecting with business minded people with whom I can share a lucrative investment proposal that will earn you passive income without taking up your time if you decide to venture into it, can I share this with you?
This car looks miles better than the M3, I still have a problem with the kidney grilles on the M3 but not on this. That point about the missus sitting on the side and the seats not giving that option is very true, might definitely need a new seat. Great review as always Joe!
This spec actually looks great! Very surprising considering I've hated it in almost every other video. Black grill is definitely the way to go with a dark paintjob imo.
Another review brought to you by BMW Achilles 😂 I've been a fan of the G80 since it was released into the wild, M3 is the better looker like the previous gen again but it does have some weird/odd angles, About time they put a decent seat in an M car though
Good review Joe. The M3/M4 are cruisers now. They are now too heavy for the mountains on the weekend. That is no bad thing as these are still very nice cars for the open road...and the clubhouse. ;-)
me I would get for my spec the frozen blue something Portofino with black rims carbon ceramics and blue and yellow interior with the M drivers package and comp pack holy shit that would be my dream combo this is my dream car there is something when i see a bmw m3 or m4 it has this glow to it like its a legendary car its amazing i love it so much and joe I'm so happy you got it. I love your videos thank you for the content
Hi Joe, you mentioned that the M4 feels better on the road than the M3. More settled and less disturbed on bad roads. Now that you have received your own M3, do you feel like this is still the case? My thoughts are that the M3 you drove was not entirely driven in yet - when also influences the suspension. Would like to hear your answer. Cheers ;)

I agree, ever since I first saw this and the M3 in person last September I’ve been digging the looks more and more!👌🏽
Kinda same. Especially with the darker colours for me as those seem to blend well with the kidneys and somewhat absorb them.
Yeah..I feel the same way about the Corona virus. GTFOH!

154 K subs is really amazing, I feel like the 200 K mark will be surpassed soon!

Wonderful 1000 km status video, Joe ! Can’t wait for your experience with your incoming M3. Considering changing from M340i to M3, if I feel it is a worth while change.
Swirls and marks happen because the people who are washing the car is not doing it correctly.
I’m glad it wasn’t just 1000k just around your village 😂
Saw one parked up the other day outside a BMW dealership... it looks absolutely great in the flesh!
Probably the best car in the world....? Stunning! What more could any driver require? BMW have designed a future classic.

I think these would look great with the front number plate in the ‘Alfa Romeo’ position (passenger side) and number plate plinth removed, they were clearly designed without the front plate in mind.
