Hi Jo, on the traction issue - is the loss of traction ‘dangerous’ (as in you could easily collide with another car), or is it just annoying from a driving perspective? Thanks in advance.

@Thewinnerscircle_ 6 жыл бұрын

joe, i have an f80 M3 and the main issue when these cars first came out was the traction like you mentioned repeatedly in your video but once i got my PS4S tires, i can't even describe how much more confident i am entering a turn or off ramp at 70+ MPH. unbelievable what a set of tires can do for a car and your confidence in this tail happy car.

Hi Joe, nice review. Ive had a comp pack m3 for a year and a half and agree a lot with your review. My main complaint of the car is the tyre roar. Gets noisy in the cabin very quickly at high speeds. Apart from that, is like chalk and cheese during winter and summer. Winter when it's wet and cold it's unusable power, but in the summer when you get the tyres warm and it hooks up, it's amazing, and like you say the engine is so rapid. If you reel out 3rd gear it's monstrous.

I am writing this after watching the negatives and a few beers so bear with me. As an ex M4 owner the word frustrating is the best description of the car. You pay for xxx horsepower but can only access 50% most of the time which drove me mad. In terms of steering, I agree, it doesn't have any feel and whilst my old M135i had more (although still not great) I found the M4 more stable at 3 figure speeds as the rack is slower and less twitchy, but that's just me and others may disagree. Thanks again for posting more great videos we all enjoy...

@wesleydonnelly2141 2 жыл бұрын

My sister owned that exact model M4 in 2018. She borrowed me the car for the day, and I did notice the benign steering feedback. But I absolutely loved the hard unnecessary jolt it gave changing gear in setting 3, it just felt more aggressive and exciting! ( I sincerely hope my sister never reads this next bit! ) And my goodness I could power slide that car with ease around roundabouts with TT completely disengaged and not once did I ever feel it lacked grip/control or the ability to stabilise it again without ending up in a hedge! Lol. Shocking straight line speed also! Amazing car! ( my best car to date that I have owned is a Ford Escort RS Cosworth modified to 307bhp. That only did 0-60 in 5.1 so this beema felt much faster. ) great review my friend! 👍

I was lucky enough to get a 2020 M4 with the Competition Pack last October in manual with the carbon ceramic breaks (I had no choice on this option because of the color combo I wanted, white with the orange interior was not easy to find). It's been almost a year now and owning this car actually makes me look forward to my daily commute to work. Starting it cold every morning feels like an event every time and always puts a smile on my face. I intentionally did not want to get the 2021 model , because I am not a fan of all digital dash displays and like the simplicity of the analog dash to go along with a manual transmission. Great video Joe , I just hit the SUBSCRIBE button!

Hi Joe, I made a test drive some months ago with exact the same car and I had the same impression regarding steering and suspension. At least in comfort it should be different but it wasn't. The same with the speed of rotation in automatic mode. In comfort the system holds the rpm over 3000 and more. Also during stop and go and less gas . These points are for me not understandable. It makes daily driving anyhow nerving ;) Most impressing point of this car was for me the traction. It was pouring down that day and first I drove not very fast in curves. Later I found out how good the grip of that thing is also under that conditions and high speed;) Gorgeous!

Yep the ps4s was the first thing I did to my f80 comp, was a night and day difference, not just grip but also took the edge off the harsh ride. They also square off the shoulder and don’t look as stretched as the oe star spec mpss. As for negatives totally agree, though steering doesn’t really bother me but the ride quality should be better. BMW need to ditch Sachs as an oe supplier and switch to blistein. You really should be using the car in sport or sport+ throttle as that’s where the s55 pulls all its advanced anti lag turbo tricks and puts the biggest gap to the m2

Would be great if you could get your hands on one somehow!

Great review Joe, I have a 2018 M4 (opted to not go for CP due to great price deal on stock with options) and love it. I agree with your traction comments, but having owned M3s since the 90s I understand why BMW went with a more intrusive TC setup for this car for the general population. Your thoughts on the PS4S are really interesting as well and I will take a look at that.

Nice one Joe, put this on while having my dinner - what a perfect video to watch as well! Really felt at home and relaxed watching it, you went through all the parts of the driving experience and gave perfect clarity on the good & bad. I think you really nailed the issues with the car as well - too much hardness with no option to chill out, stupid traction problems (maybe ps4s solves this), the shunting during gear changes upsetting the car - this happened and threw my dad's M4 up a kerb at one point which he had to get himself out of! haha :P Also you must have balls of steel the way you zoom through those lanes and get so close to the verge! :O Anyway yeah, great video and enjoyed the drive at the end too, I'm sure that scene with that music on it reminds me of something ;) Looking forward to the next video mate, or the next live too!

Joe - Great video as usual. After the Wales Alpina vs M4 review you nearly did for my plans for an M3. After this video you would have completed the job except that a couple of weeks ago I borrowed the exact same spec M4 as your test for half a day (shout out to Amy from Sytner Tamworth). The drive went just like your video. I almost hated it at first; rough ride, heavy steering and noisy! Bear in mind I have driven a standard M4 on just the same roads so I already had a reference. By the time I gave it back I almost loved it but the key conclusion was that the comp pack is too much for a daily driver. So much so that I turned down a really good deal on an M3 with comp pack in stock. Since then I have thought about it and modified my opinion to comp pack with the 19” wheels and less radical tyres. Especially noting a recent test by Evo magazine with that just setup and your previous comments on the PS4s on the Alpina. So seeing your video has confirmed my thoughts and M3 comp pack it will be sometime hopefully soon. Near miss again! All the best.

@MyChague 6 жыл бұрын

great video, speaking as an M4CP owner I agree with everything you said. The worst thing about the car is the lack of traction, on many occasion i have been embarrassed at the lights by cars with far less BHP - maybe its time for 4WD like the new M5???? Need new tyres soon so might try the PS4S as your recommendation

@quba560 6 жыл бұрын

This is the best review of the M4 I've seen. Too many reviewers focus on technical specs instead of telling how it really translates to the car itself. You hit the nail on the head saying it struggles with putting down power. I'm an owner of E92 M3 on P4S and even with less power and torque it struggles to get traction when the conditions are less than ideal. It's frustrating really, around town you feel like you're driving a much slower car due to the TC kickin in all the time. I test drove an M2 recently and I was stunned at how this thing grips, probably due to lower HP figure the car just goes without hesitation - hence I do not understand people who mod this car to 450hp+, you're all missing the point of this car. I'm selling my M3 and thinking about going to something with AWD like the RS3 (you have to drive the FL) or A45 or maybe sticking with less power/more grippy RWD like M140i or M2. Fun and "dailybility" is all I care about at the moment and the current sport coupe/saloon line up (M4/C63) just doesn't do the former. Would love to hear your thoughts on this

@quba560 6 жыл бұрын

Don't get me wrong, it's a great car hence why I bought it in the first place. I'm talking about the real world scenarios where you cannot really use that power. Even if it's hot you still need to drive for a solid 30 minutes before the tires get any heat in them and then start to grip. When I take it to the track where the tires are constantly getting heat it just goes without hesitation no matter the gear and it's a blast. However, I only do trackdays 2-3 times a year so it just doesn't cut it for me anymore. At this point I'd rather get something stripped out track focused and a nice luxurious daily. But I want a car that can do both and it seems like there are limited options in

Steering feel changes greatly with the width of tires. Wider tires, the harder the steering will be, but you will get a lot more grip. As someone who regularly goes to the gym, I don't find the steering too heavy. In fact, I've driven E90 3 series which have much harder steering feel than the F8x M cars. At least the steering is adjustable on these cars

Love it, though it’s taking some time to get used to the difference from driving diesels for years. I’ve had a 330d, two 335d’s (both e90s) and a 535d - tuned to stage 2+. The M4 is quicker still and the handling and specialness is in another league

Hi Rob, I have a cp lci manual, you won't be disapointed it's cracking car. The gearbox is an absolute delight being a twin plate modified 1M unit, definatley slicker than my Z4M. Autos are common because the finance houses forecast higher residuals, I'm very confident this won't be the case as the manual is sooo much more of a drivers car and much less common. Just been awarded Evo coupe of 2017, praise indeed. Also the interior is a lot better than the M2 and the power delivery is fantastically brutal.

Love your videos Joe. In my opinion the lack of traction is what you should expect in a car that's making 421whp & 410wtq according to some dynos. If the M4cp didn't have the traction issue it would be quite bizarre. I guess some people just arn't used to driving ferwd with these levels of torque and bhp after all it hasn't got the engine sat on top of the driven wheels or 4wd aka 911 / GTR. Enjoy the action and appreciate what those Pilot Supersports are trying to deal with :)

Totally agree with your findings (and am glad it wasn’t just me 🤔) - so I have a 440i and an e92 M3 - for the price of a well specced M4 comp pack......

Great point. Thought many times about doing the same thing myself. I have an F30 335i m-sport which is a really great car. There’s no sensible reason for replacing it with an F80 M3. And I have always loved the E92 M3 (with EDC). It’s the engine, of course - I always wanted to run a V8 anyway. So, teetering on the brink.

Nice one Joe. Totally right about the steering - why oh why do they try and convince that weight equals feel? MDM vastly improved with map and GTS flash - awful out of the box - far more nannying than early F80’s.

Cheers man, yeah no idea why they weight the steering sooooo much :-(

I'm lucky enough to own one (M4CP). Unbelievable performance and value for money, esp if you by ex-demo or 6 months old!! (£68k cars new, down to about £48K!)

Would the PS4 be as good as the Yokohama advan neova ad08r? I have had super sports on my vehicle before and I didn't like them because the steering response was not that great and at the limit of traction, the tyre used to squirm a lot and feel underinflated. It's as if you had to give two steering inputs in order to turn too. It was a very weird experience. There were times I thought the tyre busted because of the squirming. I got rid of these tyres after 2 months. Alignment etc was spot on. When I switched to Yokohama, problem solved instantly. The Yokohama have a very responsive sticky steering feel to them that just feel a lot better on the road and gives the car great front end feel. My steering feel came back and the vehicle was just more nimble and required less steering inputs to negotiate turns etc. I have noticed that Every single car with these super sport tyres always have complaints about the numb steering feel. This guy has said it, as well as various other KZfaq reviewers too on m cars. I'm willing to bet it's the tyres.... I have never understood why everyone loves the Michelin's so much. There are many people who have had negative experiences too but they are hard to find on the internet.

Hey Joe. I was fortunate enough to drive an M4 Competition Pack 2 weeks ago. Totally bonkers. What would you say are the major differences between this M4 and the 135i/140i? Is the 140i far off?

I was going to test drive tomorrow, and possibly buy one not going to bother going now. Want a fast bmw but with great comfort. After all must of the time that what you’ll be in. What would you recommend not to expensive around £45000

That was a very informative video. Glad u got your hands on the latest F80 M3. No more trolling from me lol! The point u made about the caymans was a salient point we live in an era of 4 pot Porsche’s which puts things into perspective. People tend to forget that. Eta will u get a chance to try a PS4s equipped M3/4 comp car.

Mate, good channel, you have lots of good videos about BMW´s, Mini´s & Alpina´s but it´s about time to do some new brands and get some new stuff, best of wishes.

@JoeAchilles1 6 жыл бұрын

Cheers man! I love BMW and ALPINA, other brands won't give me cars and this doesn't make me any money, therefore I will just crack on with my current recipe. Cheers for watching my stuff though :-)

Another great video Joe. I’m currently in the market for either an F80 M3 Competition or wait for the M2 Competition/CS/CSL. Having already had an M2 I’m swaying towards the M3 especially when it looks like the new M2 will be similar money. What are your thoughts?
