Was expecting a comment on the car. I got greeted with a reply which actually makes total sense. I see what you mean. Kind of. Okay I don't.

I love the color a lot.
The rest of the car is pretty ok I guess

All i can say is that it is one beautiful ride.

Looks good! Once you get the black rims it will look great!

Steering wheel heating? (Is that a normal thing?)

Despite the fact, the name sounds like it's stolen from a mid 90s computer. The M4 does look great, especially when painted in that blue colour.

A lot of new cars have it as an extra. So when you're driving in cold conditions, you don't need gloves or anything, as the wheel would be warm.

First mod arrived today:



Black spacers, black longer bolts and black locking nuts

I went for 2 x 15mm and 2 x 18mm

A few more bits should be arriving this week..

Oh okay, just hadn't heard of it before.
It doesn't really get that cold here

Well I live in England.. Where Spring is winter. Summer is winter. Autumn is winter. And winter is also winter...

Congrats on the purchase! Looks like you're already going to town on modifying little bits on your car; should look good once it's done!

Thanks! And yeah. I'm trying keep it OEM parts. I'm not really up for Aftermarket kits, and wings. My old E92 was kept OEM parts yet looked meaner than when I first purchased it. Here's a couple of pics;

Today was a productive day - got my spacers fitted and also fitted the M Performance front grills

Gave it a wash too









and one of the Rear Camera and 'M View' on HUD



The rear end look really beefy now

I think pushing the wheels out has accentuated the need for a drop though, although I'll judge that after next weekend when the rest of the M Performance kit goes on.

 

[motortrend]

I'm definitely biased but your E92 look a better than The M4
Than again, you probably forget that once you slam the throttle at 2K

I've only had the M4 a couple of weeks. Let's see your opinion when I'm finished with it.

One thing about the M4 that has been bugging me has been the ride height. Its just too high for my liking and feels a bit 'floaty'

However, I love the Adaptive Suspension which really does make a difference in ride quality in each setting- Comfort - Sport - Sport Plus

I didn't want to lose this functionality so a coilover kit was not on the agenda for me.

I researched long and hard to see what options were out there, it boiled down to the following options:

Litchfield - a very good drop and good reviews on comfort/ride quality, however very expensive for just springs

Eibach - never really been a fan of Eibach on any of my previous M's. I found H&R's a better ride and drop on my E92 M3

H&R Sport - The drop at the back is more than the front and IMO looks odd, otherwise would be the way to go

H&R Supersport - Looks great, but the front is low and I don't want to slow down for every bump to a crawl as I will be running the M Performance splitter

This process of elimination has led me to the KW H.A.S kit which allows for height adjustment and slips onto the OE dampers and therefore keeps full Adaptive Suspension capability.

The kit allows for a 5-25mm drop front and rear

A few members have been very helpful and have compared the H&R's with this kit and commented that the KW's ride a lot better, handle better and overall the best option currently for the F82 M4

They arrive this week so once fitted I will do a proper review.

Here is a picture of one of the guys who has been very helpful who is running the same setup

Looking forward to getting them fitted!

Love your car! Great choice on the colour and the M performance parts.

Maybe an Akrapovic exhaust system in the future?

That's a possibility. But I'm just getting the M Performance cosmetics done first.
