I agree the M4 is a great car. I’ve had mine for 62k miles with almost no problems. Before you get rid of your M4 I highly recommend you take it to the track if you haven’t already. Only there can you truly realized what this car is capable of.

But does the m4 break down easily?

@inspectorchicken 4 жыл бұрын

@@2024trotter like every performance car; if you buy it new and stick to the service plan while taking care of it (warming up, high octane fuel) it will be reliable. If you buy it used then it's a lottery - you can't know why in particular the car has been sold and what damages it may had and how well the car has been treated. Nowadays performance cars usually sell on a company lease and the first owner/driver does not take very good care of - car is gone in 2 years and under full warranty in that period, so why go full nerd mode?

To me personally the M4 is the best looking car in it's segment, it is my dream car. I had my 335 e92 for 10 years and it was custom tuned, nothing crazy but gave me a good kick in the back. I think, when replacing it, the important thing is that it feels motivated to do so in that the replacement has to be "worth it". You'll find something :)
