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.

Those shots from the rear seat are an incredible camera angle

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...

Nice work Joe. It's refreshing to see an honest review, most reviewers shy away from the negatives.

[shanescarlife]

I know this video is a year old, but the timing of me viewing it couldn't have been better, as I'm taking delivery of an M4C next week. Funny thing, I was talking last night with a Michelin employee about the difference in tires. Cheers, Joe!

I have a 2017 M3 Comp PCK. I have the same complaints. I have always wanted to share them but people seem like I am sniveling, so I don't say anything. Totally agree with everything you said the bad and the good. Truly a great honest review.

[MilesDrive]

Nice to see & hear an honest review. Yes, we can find fault in anything, any car, but if your thinking of buying an M4CP, then this is great prep before you test drive. Top vid, Joe👍

[CJSVlogs]

That cinematic intro was incredible, great unbiased review with good information, can't wait for the next one!

BMW finally is bringing their brand forward. I’m liking these cars more and more with your Videos Joe!

[IamJackPot]

Thoroughly enjoyed the review, especially the front facing camera segments where you show some spirited driving. It actually re-calibrates my brain to how a proper driver and car can carry such speed and momentum whilst staying dead center and seemingly not breaking a sweat! :) I'd love a separate video of such content :)

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

[pault]

i have an m4 comp. its more a turbo issue as you get max torque from 1850 rpm. You have to have a light right foot. !!!

[mariomifsud]

Great review as usual Joe. Interesting with the traction issues- with a tuned M240i the car suffers the same. I put a Wavetrac mechanical diff in it and it keeps the nanny from intervening as much, especially off the line. Can’t wait for the 18 inch MP4Ss! Cheers.

[musumbabanda]

Very honest review, but in my option all the negative review
sound like a + to me…..

[davetreanor]

Just got my 2018 F82 CP. terrible traction even on PS4S but love it

[AreaCode]

I’ve been watching your stuff Joe for years - big fan (I’m also a similar height and enjoy mountain biking)

I’ve just bought my first M car, and it’s an F82 M4 competition 2017 with PSP4S tyres. 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

[LukeWildlifeGuy]

After a little over 7 minutes, I genuinely thought you hated the car...

It didn’t seem to be your favourite car ever by the end but you certainly appreciate the car for what it is and you’ve put up another great video!

I think my favourite thing (and there’s a few) is how you don’t just praise it and aren’t afraid to criticise it for its weaknesses

[ongava]

Just watched this for the second time, the wormhole deepens!

[CaptainCarling]

You need the GTS gearbox/traction control software. I have just had it installed on mine and it makes the car soooo much better
