Thanks - the color is very unique - changes by the minute depending upon lighting

Yes- It's at United BMW. There was a buyer lined up before the trade but something must have happened. Would love to meet up, although I've decided to go with the full Dinan stage II package (tune, intake, exhaust, suspension) which will be installed in a couple weeks. You might want to wait for that ;-) The car is epic - I'm more than happy to let you drive it however you want. If you want to see it before the Dinan mods, that's cool too. Just PM me.


Thank you - i am amazed at the gawking as well. Really didn't expect it.

How does your M4 compare to the GTS you test drove? (and decided not to order)

M4 More torque
M4 A ton more room
M4 Not as exciting in the higher revs
M4 Feels heavier, but still handles well
GTS more composed - M4 has this "I'll bite your head off" side to it the GTS doesn't have - mostly due to the torque.
GTS has far better traction
M4 technology is in another league - auto high beams, entertainment, driver assist, etc. - very important to me in a DD.
Ride comfort is similar - M4 may be a little more compliant in comfort mode due to longer wheelbase
PDK and DCT are very similar in terms of performance (PDK-S is in another universe)

sgroer, very glad to hear that you're happy with the M4. Seems an ideal car for your needs. Personally, I wouldn't mess with the suspension, lower the car, etc. As already noted, chance of making the handling worse is too high, and such problems will be especially be evident on the track.
