    Looks like your team has done a very good job rebuilding this. These RUclips rebuilds tend to be quite good because people will call them out on short cuts and mistakes. All of the panel gaps are uniform and presentable, the paint match is good as well. Looking forward to future rebuilds

    was going to get one of these but read on Pistonheads that the Jaguar F Type was very similar to drive. When it came down to it I just couldn't say no to the looks of the Jaguar. M4 is a great car though and noticeably faster.

    Awesome review, agree with almost everything you’ve said, owned my 68 plate M4 comp for just over two years now and 20k miles, it’s now stage3 and 640bhp! There isn’t much on the road in the dry that can touch it.
    I will say though that you really only want Michelin PS4S or Conti sport contact7 to get best use out of power delivery and handling.

  • @deaks25
    @deaks25 Год назад +1

    One thing I've always thought BMW did well was the "aggressive but subtle" look; Even a layman can look at it and just *know* this is not a peasant-spec company car without it being garishly over the top, and this is a good example. The styling leaves no doubt this is seriously fast car but isn't covered with big wings and sticky-out bits. Sure the carbon styling pack do emphasise it a lot more but it's still relatively subtle.
    It's an art BMW just binned with the "Beaver teeth" grille for the current models. It just looks hideous.
    The lads did a great job and were a treat to watch. I'm a fan of people like Freddie Tavarish and the Tansformotion lads are definitely in the same vein.

  • @klaspeppar5619

    The good thing with the S55 and S58 (and N54 1M and N55 base M2) is that they use the same oil that “regular BMWs” use, which should make them somewhat more affordable to maintain, as I believe the “special oil” that the old N/A M engines might cost a bit more.

    46.6Mpg is exactly the same as I managed out of mine, decent tyres do cost close to £1k, servicing is reasonable until you get to the year 4 service, then it’s around £1200 at a dealer. The car was a beast, would spin the rear tyres when flooring the accelerator on a damp motorway in sport plus. My Mercedes E53 estate has more power on paper, but weight is a killer, it’s a lot slower. Not less comfortable though, which surprised me.

    Matt, as the ride can be a little hard at town speeds, have you ever experimented with dropping tyre pressures by 2 to 3 lbs ? I ask because. of late, I've been doing this with my 1000cc motorcycle. When set cold, the pressures rise by two to three lbs per square inch after they've warmed up and my thought is that cover all tyre pressures make very little sense, unless for a fully laden vehicle. Obviously, too much of a drop would risk wheel damage. I'd regularly do the same with my car, were it not for the fact that one tyre is a bit leaky, likely from alloy wheel rim corrosion over time but I have tried it and the ride is a lot nicer.

    After a year of Bentley ownership, I'm bailing and bought a new M440i Gran Coupe (and I KNOW it's not a proper M!). They offered me way more for the Continental than I expected. I pray I don't get the one year itch with this one (which is normal for me. It will be my 30th consecutive car). My 1991 E30 308i Convertible is also going, as it rarely leaves the garage. Fancy dipping a toe in the classics market Matt? (joke).
