M4 would be my guess.

Congratulations MM.

I'm going to be specific and say Dave Egans recently traded M4 Competition?

Nope, it's the normal M4 rather than the competition.

Look forward to proper photos of it

Have you not cleaned those exhaust tips yet :rolleyes:

Should be great, are you planning on OEM+ or have you some tweaks in mind?
Is Conzy taking the current wagon or has he moved on?

I haven't even bought it yet!

For now I'm leaving it OEM. We'll see what happens down the line but if I do make changes they'll be cosmetic, not mechanical.

Conzy bought GustavoFring's white 330d instead.

Are doing teaser shots now?

Should have this Monday/Tuesday next week

colm_mcm · 22-01-2021 3:04pm

That a new model X1?

dylbert · 23-01-2021 2:53pm

First clean of the new year, badly needed, the missus got me wind deflectors for Christmas.

vintagevrs · 23-01-2021 4:09pm

Bit pointless giving it a wash today. This thing is absolutely terrible in the snow. Relatively wide summer tyres and not much weight will do that I guess.

Wailin · 23-01-2021 4:31pm

Old and the (relatively) new. 535d and 540i. Always liked the muscular design of the bonnet on the F10 and when the G30 first came out I thought it looked bland with the smoother bonnet. Like most new models though, once you get used to them you realise that they just look more modern and up to date.

I bought Michelin Cross Climates for my car just before Christmas and today was the first time trying them out on snow. I was really impressed with the grip and braking ability for 19" wheels and RWD. The warm weather performance is supposed to be comparable to good summer tyres. My wife wasn't able to get out of our street in her A4 on summers so had to borrow my car.

vintagevrs · 23-01-2021 5:17pm

Tyres defo more important than drive train I think. Years ago I had winter tyres (prob overkill) on a 3 series during that big freeze, prob 2010. It was fine with everything. There was an awd x type in the house at the time which was terrible. False sense of security nearly in the Jag. I'd maybe consider an all season type next time.

MetzgerMeister · 23-01-2021 7:19pm

Wailin, personally I much prefer the g30. I think it looks sleek and smooth with the shape and lines

Carbon bits are a must, lad

Carbon bits are very expensive and not worth it in my opinion, lad :pac:

There’s enough black on it with the paint and tint rather than adding more. I prefer contrast to the black-out look.

Badger2009 · 24-01-2021 1:52am

Probably its last (maybe second last) wash with me. Time to move on

You're right. Carbon bits are tack. Same with lads adding maxton bits to mk7 Golf R's. Personally I think they look absolutely ****e.

Totally agreed, carbon bit are just poxy unless they come standard on your Lamborghini. Body kits of any type just scream max power to me.

Each to their own, I’d rather a Golf R without any extra body kit added.
Add performance but leave it looking standard for me.

Killinator · 24-01-2021 11:01pm

My Golf R has a simple Maxton kit on it. It's gloss black to match the other gloss black bits that were standard.
I think it adds a nice bit of extra aggressiveness without going too extreme.
I also don't give a flying f*ck what anybody else thinks about it either so that helps.

But I did add extra power to be fair

hooch-85 · 24-01-2021 11:08pm

If we all liked the same things life would be very boring! I just don't think splitters add anything to them being honest.

Great selection in 3PMSF about now, reckon I'll go for hankook kinergy 4s2 myself later in 2021.

bazz26 · 24-01-2021 11:22pm

I think the stock M4 body styling is aggressive enough and perfectly fine imo. I certainly wouldn't be sticking different splitters and/or defusers on one, you see enough 420ds around with them.

L-M · 24-01-2021 11:54pm

That’s usually the problem with all that stuff, it gets stuck into the basic stuff and suddenly becomes over used and tacky

punisher5112 · 25-01-2021 11:39am

Like putting V6 on a 1.0 polo or amg on a diesel A class

I thought the E92 M3 looked best in mineral grey or mineral white.

330e M-sport, just delivered yesterday. Ill post up a few better pictures when the weather improves.

Took the new pressure washer (Nilfisk E145) for a spin yesterday and gave her the first wash of 2021.

James Bond Junior · 30-01-2021 1:58pm

I have an E145. Fantastic machines. Makes light work of cleaning concrete, driveway etc as well as washing the car. One of the attachments is strong enough to strip car paint.

Yeah I upgraded from a Karcher K2 and the difference is mad! Going to tackle the patio slabs when the weather improves, the Karcher wasn't really up to it.

My latest purchase Focus ST2 Facelift Petrol.

I came from a Nilfisk C110 to the E145. Night and day, gave the C110 to my Dad as I couldn't wear it out.

Focus ST looks great @eoinbmw. What did it replace?

Next post will be a picture of a black M4. :pac:

MetzgerMeister · 31-01-2021 9:33pm

So after 5 years in my first diesel and a long and harrowing search, I picked up this 2016 BMW M4 on Wednesday. Fully loaded with gadgets and gizmos and almost €100 cheaper to insure than the 330d.

Have to say I'm absolutely loving being back in a petrol.

hooch-85 · 31-01-2021 10:22pm

The only thing more impressive about the car is the wall behind it! Well wear MM, beautiful car.

I went from a Golf GTD to an R and my insurance came down too. Funny little country we live in.

My insurance dropped by almost €500 from a 730d to a M140i, go figure!
Lovely car MM, enjoy.

Pictures don't do the M4 justice, especially in black. It's not as subtle in person :pac:
