Look at all the kids complaining about fake noise coming out the speakers and the price tag. BMW is still the benchmark and every car company has to come up with some sort of innovation to stay in the game, so BMW did what they could whilst working around stupid emission and safety laws. The new M3/M4 are still drivers cars at the end of the day, not just luxo-barges or bruiser cruisers. Don't like the sound, straight pipe it or go for the aftermarket set-ups. I'm just glad BMW is sticking to the 50/50 weight distribution, rear wheel drive, engine in the front, straight 6 engine (V8 was great too but straight 6 is more fitting), and best of all- still comes with a proper manual gearbox. All these factors are why I would buy it, despite the gimmicky speaker exhaust noise function. Plus, IMO in real life the car does NOT sound as bad as it does in videos. Great review once again XCAR and I think its fair to say that we need to give more time to the ///M twins and they will soon be legend, like all the ///M cars.

you should be the next top gear presenter

dude your reviews are amazing!

Just ordered My 2016 BMW 6SP M4 in Alpine white ... cant wait

Bmw always made some incredible cars

love your high quality videos! a lot of info and eyecandy is what I really want from a car channel. keep up that great work

I dont just want 1 i want 3 thats how much i love it. And Xcar thanks a million times for a great review as you have been the only British reviewers to do this car in longer than 5 mins video.

Really nicely presented and put together. Just the right amount of (useful) tech figures to make me realise just how much of a marvel this car is. Great work!

So many stupid comments! M3, M4 or M 2.364........so what? The car looks gorgeous and goes like hell, that's all what counts.

One of the best M4 reviews on the net. Straight to the point with no fluff.....who can deny the aesthetics of an M car.

your reviews are awesome! glad i found ur channel

When V8 came everybody was angry at BMW for giving up the IL 6. Now it's the other way. And only 2% of the noise comes from speakers. TWO %. That is because the cars are too quite inside due to owners wanting relaxing long trip cruises. So the speakers help for the occasions you want to floor it. Nothing beats the M-cars combination of sporty and engaging handling, fast, good looks, practical and good quality. We all know it and they all turn to be classics. ALL OF THEM.

fantastic location. Fitted the car perfectly

This is my dream car. (with all options, and BMW M Performance Exhaust)

Awesome review thanks The colour looks awesome

Liking the Max Cooper sound at the end.

I test drove one a few weeks ago at a BMW special invitation day in Herefordshire and the car is absolutely mad when you gun for it but its a lovely drive and a great drivers car!

Love the Phoenix gold colour, it always looked great on the E46 and glad BMW have decided to use it once again.

ohw god that car looks gorgeous and with the m performance exhaust the sounds does too!

So Beautiful!

Stunning colour on that test car

Great video. Touched on all the points people are questioning about the car. Would have been better if it was longer, but only so you could watch the car for longer.

the color. is beautiful

Great review! Well done.

Great review.

***** I must say, you guys make some of my favourite reviews, it truly does show that you guys truly have allot of passion for these cars! keep up the good work lads!

Can't wait to see this in person in a month. So excited :D my dads E46 M3 meets it successor only it's the M4 (M3 in my mind lol)

What a perfect looking car . The colour ist outstanding

great review. well presented.

Nice review!

Great looking car. Looks like a concept car from early 2000.

I really liked your clip.

Amazing...

i Love this car. when i buy one im gonna buy a balck with black grill and laser lights like in the GTS. I love your videos. Subscribed.

Love it. Very nice car.

I'll stick to my E46 M3. Hell of a car. Still love it like day one. Pure, raw and visceral.

Nice

Now that's a review!

i can't wait for Wraith

Great review XCAR! However, I personally would prefer the actual M3 4 door version. IMO It looks better, meaner, I like the side profile better, has more room, is just as powerful, & retains the M3 name. But hey, That's just me though!

Its good to see that BMW M is coming back to their roots, lightweight, great handling and performance cars, instead of overweight horsepower brutes.

All the people complaining about the sound.. I think it sounds great!! Also the Active sound is only 3% if the sound you hear onboard. What a beautiful car!!

Ur watch looks so cool ! Wats brand was tat ?

free driving feel

Besides how it sounds, good lord this car is amazing! And even better that the sound is very easily fixable. BMW M4

How does this "Active Sound" *really* work? There seems to be so much confusion. And what if you're playing music in the car and you turn the music up? Does it also turn up the amplification of the engine note? You can't ever just listen to music? I'm confused... lol.

Where was this filmed? I didn't think the UK had huge mountains like that.

I actually got to Say that im a Huge AMG fan and this New M4 it's quite impressive. The only big downdownside is the exhaust but of course is a turbo charge engine its not going to sound as good as the old generation E92 Natural Aspirated engine.

Side Mirrors' design is nice. Sharp and Sleek.

your a wizard harry

Well I think it is great looking, and I stumbled on a review where the outdoor sound recording was better than in most other car reviews and they gave the M4 some pedal and well it sounded quite good to me, but from the cabin it does indeed miss some screaming. I saw one last week in the street where I live (Berlin) and I must say that I was surprised how big it has become - That I do not like (don´t know the numbers) but it looked like close to an Audi A5 in size - I hope that this does not continue in the future - It should not be bigger than it already has become IMO... - Never mind If I had the money I would still buy one.

as always nice review! interesting, short, informative. i absolutely love the new m4, even don't have a problem naming it different, remember the audi a4 convertible? it became later a5 convertible, even the a5 coupe appeared. about the car... the interior looks stunning, luxurious yet sporty, and the exterior, oh my, brutal. regarding the exhaust, as you say it is not loud enough, well the sound isolation in cabin is pretty god, outside it sounds great, plus if you want a hardcore exhaust you can always go aftermarket of just wait a couple of months until BMW M Performance studio unveils its official performance exhaust (in collaboration with Akrapović). Personally, would prefer a manual, as they are a dying breed, plus i haven't spend enough time driving manuals, still too young to be bored of it :) and you know what they say, "boys" don't grow up, the just become bigger. keep it up guys! viva la bmw m4! i want one so hard.

this car is beautiful my god

Install an Akrapovic titanium exhaust and a K&N cold air intake and there you have it all the cool sound and induction noise you could possible want... it works for my car!

that gold colour is the boss

To everyone whining about the noise, it's not like BMW has a choice. The EU has come down on car manufacturers to lower their consumption and emissions, so even if some are still fighting it, they soon will alway submit. 10 years later, the M4, the RS5 and the C-AMG will be something like 3.0 L with 10 turbos and KERS. It's the future. Get used to it.

what about the prices? for example top M3 vs top M4

Whats that big carbon fibre weave U on the engine?

I'd like an M4 with gloss black paint, stock rims but chromed, chrome window trim, chrome grill with the black part of the grill also chromed, carbon fiber interior trim with the trim line in chrome, and the plastic part next to the rotating knob in body color black. that doesn't seem to be available from BMW, but maybe BMW individual can throw it together for me?

Does anyone know what the song is at 3:20? I cannot find it anywhere! Much appreciated.

What a nice car.

As pointless as the distinction between the 3 and 4 series is, this new thing is really great. Looks fantastic, and I actually like that it's got an I6 instead of a V8. I just have a thing for an I6. Seems more fitting in terms of heritage too. I actually really like it in that yellow as well. I still can't get over that awkward looking bonnet seam though. I'm sure BMW would tell us the reason they did that is because of some kind of safety standard they have to follow, but plenty of other manufacturers can still make it look nice and comply with guidelines at the same time. So why can't BMW, who are supposed to be some of the best car designers in the world?

Anyone knows the name of the song in the outro? Shazam can't recognize it. thanks in advance :)

I would love this car it does everything you could want really...but for a sports car, noise is one of the most important factors really and if it doesn't sing would you just end up a little disappointed each time you put your foot down?

What is the name of the watch you're wearing?

6:13 - 6:17 "It doesn't sound so good that you're gonna want to blip the throttle and have a little bit of a play". Dude, you're driving a DCT M4 - blipping the throttle isn't exactly an option.

dat color

BMW always give the consumers the most advance technology they could make! Which is awesome!

the panel gap between the headlight and the bonnet is huga

The question is, will this be a legend like the E46 was? And I think the answer is no. Also, in my opinion the M3 looks better.

The exhaust sound I actually like, but the interior sound is a little disappointing as it sounds fake, because it is. Instead of playing fake engine sounds through the stereo, BMW should at least try piping induction sound into the cabin as other manufactures have done. But the car does look really nice and thank god for the manual option :)

it never died with the e92. it was the best handling front engine rear wheel drive car.

Nicw video

Oh snap I thought the was a civic revving!.. 4:08

That colour though

Shame about the noise... I really love how the S54 in my M coupe sounds raw, metal on metal, like a thousand bees in my brain when the tacho is anywhere between 5-8k. But that said, I don't get anywhere near 30mpg... :(

Which song is it at 3:21.....?

I wanted a lambo huracane, but I'd figured I have better chances of affording this, looks the same kinda with the color. Love this car! ///M Power.

Saying 2015 m4 is a great car, fast and economical. But it never gives me the same level of of feeling compared to the new Merc and Audi's v8 4.0 bi-turbo. Being a sports car the sound from a v6 and a v8 can never compare.

The BMW M4 is 0-60 in 3.9sec(with DCT) and 4.1sec(with manuel) it's on there website

Nice car, but doesn't excite me. I'm sure with a few modifications it would be a hoot though.

Should get a Carbon fiber hood on that 2-Door M4.

The M3 looks better to me. Better flared arches, looks more purposeful.

Amazing in all categories...insurance and maintenance costs are the main issues with the car in Europe and overseas!

As a long time M fan, I'm slightly disappointed with the new ones. They just don't seem to push the envelope enough. AMG has really grabbed my attention over the last few years, and their track records and sales figures show that maybe they have become the "new M."

Sounds delicious.. !!

Perfect now I can drive my M4 to the shooting range to try out my new M4… 😆

+ XCARFilms my brother bought a BMW e90 m3 and wow it's incredible. it's almost time for my first car in a year. I'm fortunate enough to have a 35k budget for my first car. I've been debating a toyota supra 1998 or a m4 for as cheap as it can go. I have two questions 1) will the M4 ever get around 35k? 2) is the supra a good first car? Thanks so much! I love your content, it always excites me!

I want one

the first good looking bimmer in YEARS

But.... Would you have one over an F-Type or a secondhand 911???

cant get over how it looks like the x6

I don't see why BMW is having trouble with their exhaust notes to be honest.

Didn't you forgot to mention 'Comfort' mode? (I may be wrong)

Alex, why didn't you mention that the engine sound inside the cabin is artificially produced through the sound system? Mechanical sound tuning is essential in order to optimize the hearing experience, but when manufacturers start using the sound systems, or extra sound modules inside the exhaust system, I feel a bit.. cheated.

this car just looks phenomenal. i'd even get it in this puke color.

Did he say 32mpg? Individual Avus Blue and carbon back seats for me.

What the song?

The rear wheel arches on the m3 are stunning.. I prefer the 4 door

i thought XCAR was going to be a new racing game series
