Always liked rovers

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Can't remember the last time I saw one of those!

I spotted one just like that today. The grille doesn't look as big as it does in pics but it does look odd and it's not pleasing to look at at all.

 

[-Jamie-]

M4 still looks worse/more awkward than the M3 just like the F8X though

 

[ForceIndia]

They're dire. And the grille isn't even the worst bit.

 

[Short Norman]

M3 is now what the M5 used to be.

Much rather have a M2

 

[Gally]

Until the new m2 comes out. M2 prices have done well recently because they are so much more useable and people are realising.

What are you gaining by choosing an M4 over an m2? I've driven so many M4s and they just feel meh. The new one if a different animal. The traction alone is night and day.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

God that really isn't a good looking car. What a total mess of a design.

 

[ForceIndia]

Fugly

 

[Euan94]

Perfect comparison (minus the fact it’s an old M4 vs new M3). New car is awful

 

[P-Co]

I didn't think anyone would be able to make it look any worse until I saw that [emoji2962][emoji2961]

 

[Willo40]

I bet they will still sell ALOT of them

 

[ChrisR]

There’s a new M3 round the corner from us, did not like.

it’s in that primer grey colour with the colourful seats, really bit a fan. Esp of that plastic looking crap on the front wings, now that even the lower models have stuff there (I think?) it just looks a bit naff.

 

[Gally]

I still love the Brera!

Here as well...

New BMW M4 v Old M4 v M440i - DRAG RACE - YouTube

It's just comic. Quite a lot of people seem to be trying to convince me that it's 'not so bad' but it just is. It's never going to look good. Even the Competition wheels are worse than the previous gen.

 

[ChrisR]

My step dad just picked up an 18 plate M4 Comp for 35k and it’s a lovely car, and seemed decent money. I’d been looking at M3s and similar age/spec was in the £40’s.

Weirdly I wa never a huge fan of the Brera, the GT for me.

I bought this last week… probably paid too much but full BMW service history, private plate, upgraded steering wheel and facelift rear lights (fitted by BMW). Azurite black 😍 only issue is the drivers seat leather needs a freshen up as on 50k miles. The paint looks amazing in the sun for 5 minutes until it’s dirty, also looks good at night.

That's Tanzanite Blue. Unless it's an individual colour which I don't think there were many?

Individual azurite black. Is it a rare colour? Poor quality photos as saved from the for sale advert.

 

[Gally]

I see they are still using black instead of blue! 😂 Carbon black an example of their naming.

That's very cool and rare. Most M cars of that age are Tanzanite. Probably because folk hate black cars these days... You know how hard they are to keep clean!

Enjoy, it's a gorgeous colour in the flesh, especially the right light.

 

[ChrisR]

A rare spot, my RS3 clean for a change. Can’t remember the last time I washed it let alone do any more.

Finally bit the bullet and had it properly polished and coated by someone, came out alright!

 

[Martin_172]

We bought a MK4 R32 golf at work, I had it out on Friday, i was never a fan of them when they were new but now that big capacity NA hatches are no longer a thing, there is something cool about it!

 

[Ash J]

Spotted one of these earlier.

I wasn’t able to grab a picture, but have googled and it was the same as this. Same colour, wheels and in really tidy condition.

Managed to just make out badge on the back which was Peugeot 104 GL. Never seen one before, was properly cool!

Nice. I'm starting to really like these and the m3. I'm just so upset they don't sound great.

 

[Stay Puft]

A few at Thruxton.

That is lovely and very fresh with the silver wheels, Sir.

How is it to live with? PM me if you’d prefer mate!

Another car that was an unexpected like of mine. Bit like the Clio V6 in that I didn’t want one but ended up with one.

Got to be one of the best sounding stock cars (in the normal car world)

Always thought they’d be awesome with 100bhp more though but really loved mine.

Not sure how they fair these days (mine was a pretty new car at the time) but the throttle response was amazing, shame it had nothing to offer after that though. Kind of like the Clio V6 in that regard. Drive an Alfa V6 and feel what an engine should feel like.

Dropped you a message, but short answer is it's just like any A3/Golf sized hatch to live with but with a rediculously obnoxious engine up front

The throttle response is like nothing I've ever driven, it is genuinely hard to drive for the first few minutes to you recalibrate your right foot! This one on 90 odd k feels nice and tight to drive, goes well. Like most VAG stuff of that era rust on the front wings and suspension components and subframes etc

 

[Gally]

Oh and some silver wheels.

Just seen this at switch island on the way to work

Old fella near mine has a few old classics in his garage this one was rolled out the other day. Not in very good condition, but a rare site. Austin 1100? Not sure...

One from today

Saw a black one too today also past a white Aventador in Wilpshire and a blue (like arctic blue) DBS in Toxteth of all places that really stood out the colour was like this Range Rover I saw the other week, only pictured it cos the colour looked really good.
