@@asb1619 I feel like it’s look good if it was in red too or like a sunrise orange..the showcase green color they debuted with just doesn’t sit well idk why.
@@peterhammer6915 yeah I saw one in white, I don’t think it was M-Line tho, but it was a 4 series but it was nice, the black grille actually complimented the white really well.
Thank you Steve ... when you did the first review of the M4 comp . I had made up my mind and bought one ... every single day I drive it I have a big smile .... I love the new M4 and the grill is growing on me ....🤩
A proper wheelman. In a world of so called car influencers who frankly haven't got a clue, thankfully we still have proper automotive journos like Steve who can actually tell you whether you should buy a car or not. Steve you're more of an influencer to me (I've owned 3 M3's and 3 911's among many others) than all of the new lot (buy a car, wrap it, change the exhaust, drive it round central London a few times, un wrap it, sell it - yawn yawn) put together. Long may you continue.
A fantastic road just not long enough. Car is amazing dynamically and looks better in a dark colour but I just can't get over that grill. Fantastic review by Steve as always.
Funny how every reviewer so far is saying different things about the brakes, the steering or the gearbox. Goes to show how subjective all those reviews are.
I mean, it makes sense when each of those individual components can be individually set by the driver to comfort, sport, sport plus. If you don’t get your settings right, you might compromise your experience. It’s insanity to me honestly
Steve Sutcliffe is one of the few car guys who reviews cars sensibly, thoroughly and without the comedic nonsense. A car journalist of the highest order.
You can watch any of the other reviews, but honestly I wait until I see Steve drive the car before I form an opinion. Brilliant summary, can’t wait for the track video
Love your voice and how you describe things. It makes me miss living in London so much. I just got the 2021 M440IX and I love the car. I think this new interior is nice and would love this model.
BMW is deeply rooted in the hearts of many car enthusiasts and we are shallow people for the most part, not the most technical. So when they change their design language, fans go up in arms.... I didn’t like it at first, but it’s growing on me quite okay, get it in Isle of Man Green, and you have a beauty! Bottom line, fans hate change, that’s the reason for all the fuss.
My bi-fuel MPV with both 50litres fuel tanks fulled up weighs 1800kg….no matter how much you make car pushed down to the road its overweight always makes you feel the immense side force that is strongly worrying experience when cutting corners...and all the tweaks masking it make you deaf to lethal risk and closer to point of no return.... Genuine feature of real sport car is agility and nimble handling giving you experience of organic connection with the machine that essentially whispers where are its limits ..
Not sure what this is other than a heavy, turbocharged 4 wheel computer. I own an original E30 M3 and there is simply no connection with these in any way. Completely opposite cars. This one does nothing for me, but the Game-Boy crowd should love it.
Thnks for a really good review! I find it funny that most here comment about the front and about the weight knowing nothing about how it drives. 1. The grill looks considerably better live, I hated it in pictures but actually liked it when I saw an Tanzanite blue G80 today 2. The weight is zero problem if the chassis is engineered well. I have driven several times an Taycan 4S. That car weights about 2300 and is still nimble as a 911. And no I am not joking. 3. Biggest issue for me is missing of the DCT, but maybe the ZF is better here than in the F90, where it sucks
My wife's Z4 with the 1M engine has 500Nm but it's limited until in third gear and I fixed that by removing the terrible run flat's with some Michelin 4s now it sticks like glue... and improves the ride 10 fold... The dual clutch box is still the cream for a drivers car.. its a shame BMW reduced costs by sticking in the ZF box in this new M4 model.
Just perfectionist and an excellent review video. No nonsense review video and the voice is just awesome to hear also helps me to watch the video without any disturbance too.
Yes 👏 I’m getting older, but that is a crazy amount of money for a car 🚘 My first BMW 3 series $28,000! I don’t think that car would make me happier in the long run.
I like the front end of the car. I have trouble with the area above the rear wheel arches. Looks a bit dull there. I don't like how the rear window slightly stray upwards near the back end of it. Looks dull and makes the area between the wheel arches and the rear window too big. In that regard the M3 looks better. Really nice car though!
FACT; 2021 BMW M4 Competition's 3.0L 6 cylinder twn-turbo engine has the exact SAME torque output as the NA 6.1L BMW V12 engine in the original McLaren F1 road car.
Restricted the torque in the lower gears? That’s so frustrating. I’d rather buy one and put semi slicks on and make it stupid fast. I don’t want any power restrictions...
The car in this spec awakens feelings of want in me I didn't know were possible. At some point in the not too distant future I will replace my e92 M3 Competition with this car.
I wouldn't sell an E92 M3, it's one of the best cars I've ever had the pleasure of driving. Keep it and add this beast to your collection if possible - pretty sure they'd compliment each other. Cheers :)
I worry about the haters. Will they ever stop reflexively spouting off about the grill every time they see one one these? Will they soon not leave their house for fear of seeing one in the flesh?
1800Kg and 503hp is a lot of horsepower too but imagine what it'd be if it weighted 1500Kg? Wouldn't that be better? Why are these cars getting heavier and heavier we're reaching 2 tons for god's sake man...i know more comfort equipment etc but jeez...2 tons? c'mon...
Thank goodness they let the voice of reason do this review. Thanks Steve :)
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Yeah, my favorite and possibly the best car reviewer out there.
He’s still up there with the best car journalist/reviewers out there. It’s a shame we didn’t get a longer video like you did with other channels
Well said. This is experience speaking here.
Steve Sutcliffe, still up there with the best car journalist/reviewers out there. Auto Express you need to make these videos longer
The looks have grown on me - looks fantastic here.
The darker colors hide the grill better. It looks like an angry beaver.
Ex- hater
Looks like Darth Vader when it's in black
Thank you Steve. You're the best for sportier car reviewer
You sir need to have your own RUclips channel
right !
The grill works much better with that colour combination
Still looks like a nightmare.
@@kalan91 agreed.
I usually get 3 or 4 new car videos of the same car in my feed. I wait to watch yours first. Steve is the best.
The grille looks far better in neutral colors.
That's they key; go with a black or Dravit grey and the grille stands out 50% less in my opinion.
@@asb1619 I feel like it’s look good if it was in red too or like a sunrise orange..the showcase green color they debuted with just doesn’t sit well idk why.
I saw today an M3 in Tanzanite blue, looked really really good, did not see that coming...

@@Rod2944 when they revealed the prototype months ago and haters started criticism of it I said that they would come around; you don't hear them now !
Can always rely on Steve for a solid review
The best channel.

The M4 has gained weight but you appear to have lost some! Well done Steve.

I’ve heard almost the same thing every time
Sutcliffe is one of the most underrated reviewers to ever grace RUclips. Technical knowledge and reviews fairly.
In the darker colours, with a number plate, these look stunning! In the lighter colours they grill looks too pronounced making it look dreadful

Steve we need you! top review

Steve Sutcliffe is great!! thanks
Looks so good in this color
Which colour is this???
@@mugesh.r7339 Metalic Bright Orange
This is the best review for the car. Nice seen you again!
Love your voice and how you describe things. It makes me miss living in London so much. I just got the 2021 M440IX and I love the car. I think this new interior is nice and would love this model.
This is the exact spec I want.
This color suits it better than yellow 🥰
Good to listen to a review without the usual swearing .
Steve great work. Keep your amazing insight and talent for the spoken word coming.
honestly, i have zero problems with the new grill, don't know whats all the fuss is about

I'm saving this to watch on my 4k TV with headphones
🔥🔥🔥 M3 over anything In class 😍

I like how he didn't mention the grille and focused on what matters. The stories about that grille are tired and besides, the looks are subjective!
that is beautiful color on the m4
Absolutely a masterpiece WoW !! I mean look at it.
You need to go to specsavers
I like the front-end. I don’t see what all the fuss is about regarding the grill.
Sweet ride. Would be cool to have a manual option.
There is a manual version available but not in uk 🤦♂️
Not sure what this is other than a heavy, turbocharged 4 wheel computer. I own an original E30 M3 and there is simply no connection with these in any way. Completely opposite cars. This one does nothing for me, but the Game-Boy crowd should love it.
How did someone present this design and not get immediately fired? How the hell did this thing get approved? 🤦♂️
Best done video/review ! Professionally .
Brutalist architecture on wheels. Cool.
Thnks for a really good review!
I find it funny that most here comment about the front and about the weight knowing nothing about how it drives.

3. Biggest issue for me is missing of the DCT, but maybe the ZF is better here than in the F90, where it sucks
I’m sure it’s a fantastic drive. But even in Grey, the grille is horrible
Good review as always sir i understand ur review and accent very nicely nd very well put together
That voice I recognize within a second. I just stopped, download the video, setup my Bluetooth speakers then go!

I enjoyed watching the Video 😊
What watch are you wearing Steve, looks great.
Yes 👏 I’m getting older, but that is a crazy amount of money for a car 🚘 My first BMW 3 series $28,000! I don’t think that car would make me happier in the long run.
It is over priced and over complicated and will go spectacular wrong, probably the best bmw out there, love it 🤩
Well done steve, looks like its moved a class above again, bigger, heavier, more power. Cant wait for an e30 style M car a new 0.5 series maybe??
Steve is a boss
Haven’t seen one instance of true enthusiasm from all the RUclips reviews of this car so far. Like they all grudgingly arrive at ‘it’s an okay M car’.
I like the front end of the car. I have trouble with the area above the rear wheel arches. Looks a bit dull there. I don't like how the rear window slightly stray upwards near the back end of it. Looks dull and makes the area between the wheel arches and the rear window too big. In that regard the M3 looks better. Really nice car though!
And no cringeworthy comments of the grill... Steve, you're my new favorite auto journalist!
Brilliant review and awesome footage, stunning BMW 🔥🔥🔥👌🏻
Looking trim there steve!
if BMW can ever reliably fix their oil consumption issues, which plagues many of their engines, the S55 would be great
I hear Steve I start to tune in more great review.
How is it a single clutch box? Don't automatic boxes at this amount of gears (9) have at least 3 clutch packs?
Removed a couple of doors from the M3??? What?
Autocar are doing it the other way round, either way, this is all the performance you need on the Road.
I may have to purchase , but which one ? M3 or M4 ? And should i wait for xdrive ?
It has a torque converter
FACT;
2021 BMW M4 Competition's 3.0L 6 cylinder twn-turbo engine has the exact SAME torque output as the NA 6.1L BMW V12 engine in the original McLaren F1 road car.
Now imagine if the same technology was applied to the V12. What sort of performance could it have?
The grill looks far better on the M models than the standard cars.
Beautiful car
Whats bhp? Whats the coversion rate to metric hp?
Cannot control my hate for this new grille
Which colour is this ??
Love it!
What is this colour called?
Single clutch gearbox?? It's a torque converter auto is it not?
PS not surprised by the fuel consumption when it weighs that much...
Steve dear man, as always the 🥜🥜🥜
In grey, suddenly that beaver tooth grill becomes acceptable. Great review as always from the master!
Dravit grey to be precise :-)
Restricted the torque in the lower gears? That’s so frustrating. I’d rather buy one and put semi slicks on and make it stupid fast. I don’t want any power restrictions...

If you are planning on selling, PLEASE let me know
Steve! You lost some weight due to heavier new M4? You look better!
A brand new Alpina B3 Conv in 2004 was £40k dead......£62k in todays money......these prices are nuts
Will it sound any good from the outside?
Nope
The most beautiful thing in that video was your watch Steve . Which make and model are you wearing ??
Give me a Giulia GTA!! Sexier with a deep soul not as mechanical ⚙️
Anyone know the name of the colour? Dravit Grey?
Correct!
I worry about the haters. Will they ever stop reflexively spouting off about the grill every time they see one one these? Will they soon not leave their house for fear of seeing one in the flesh?
What is the name of the color?
Dravit Grey BMW Individual colour spec
That watch is hurting my eyes.Get yourself a Rolex mate.
Love
Beautiful car. It looks like a hyper car.
Alfa has no chance. Previous model BMW beats it and this one is a true weapon
Rather have a proper car which I have a Lotus Evora Gt410 sport which sounds better and looks better and easily out handles the new BMW M4.
It’s fast, but the seat hurts my back. M440xi feels better
Watch? I like it
1800Kg and 503hp is a lot of horsepower too but imagine what it'd be if it weighted 1500Kg? Wouldn't that be better? Why are these cars getting heavier and heavier we're reaching 2 tons for god's sake man...i know more comfort equipment etc but jeez...2 tons? c'mon...
Your fave track is Llandow over Anglesey? Seriously? :D
