I don’t know how I will ever see this as an old body style or an outdated model. It looks better than the new ones.
100% mate👍looking to get myself one in the next 2-3 months fully loaded spec with sensible miles outstanding value for performance now
I have had 2 e93 i love the v8 sound but now this seems like option i still stay in the bmw community and i have a modern engine with forced induction like every other new car out there its a win/win
I agree too. I love my F82 M4. It's just as nice looking as the E90.
Im getting one on my 16th birthday
this car is absolutely gorgeous
At this point in life Mat doesn't even know he'll be driving a La Ferrari in 2019 :)
This 2 yr old comment deserves way more likes as its so true! He owns 2022
"I love Germany, I love German cars." I laughed along with him, that maniacal laugh that powerful German cars so often provoke. Another great video, Auto Express!
4:40 reminded me about something I forgot to do today morning..
lol
+papoopa5800 Haha
Great stumbling across this video again, I bought my M4 off this review and Chris Harris m3 review. Thanks Mat
Holy shit, when he drove that fast on the Autobahn it felt like the other cars were standing still lol. Thrilling and scary at the same time. Awesome!
i wonder why Mat is not doing this style of car reviews anymore, especially for new car launches like this!
I just wanted to say that it looks absolutely stunning. And when he parked it next to the old one, it was even more apparent. As for the noise, well get used to it folks. These are the engines of the future. Even Formula 1 has small turbo charged engines that sound like vacuum cleaners.
Did the editor actually beep "my God" and "Jesus Christ"??
He's right, the exhaust is a small price to pay for performance. And you can always change the exhaust
The optional M Performance titanium exhaust makes it sound better then previous M cars.
but the exhaust doesnt change the engine sound, its a bit tricky to get great sound out of the s55 in the m4
@@sebastiand.1305 no i dont think it does
krezo I guess it’s a taste thing, but my M4 has the factory titanium M performance exhaust and it sounds great.
@@Krezo200 it does go watch valvatronic design
just got an M4, with engine in efficient driving mode the engine does sound quite muted however with the engine in sport or sport plus mode it does sound awesome.
Loved this review!
So much detail covered. Hope you do more cars in this manner : )....
Very well done you guys from Auto Express. Fun to watch and easily on EVO or Autocar levels... move on that way.
Fantastic video! Well done Mark
Best job ever - Love it. Mat you lucky...
What a nice trip! The M4 looks sharp and performed well but nothing like the sound of the AMG rumble :-)
I sure hope you didn't expect an inline 6 to sound like a V8? 😜
It needs an aftermarket exhaust, then it will be perfect
Autobahn flying, race circuit gunning, back bends hooning... and still 25MPG? That's pretty amazing
Very good auto express! Thumbs up!
Great video Matt 🏁🏁🏁🏁
The car looks soooo damn good!!!
Great video, even better host! keep it up, lovely car.
Great real life review.....I'm off to buy one!
People really need to stop bitching bout the sound it's really not that bad
DG Filmz it is bad, but we over time just get used to it
Sticker on his windscreen, which makes his car a little bit queeeecker. Hahaha. Classy
that france england tunnel is amazing
Awesome review, great job! And obviously an awesome car. Frankly I couldn't care less less that it's not a naturally aspirated V8, this is 2014 and THAT is an M car!
Dream Car.
Fantastic video Mat. I've done my 19's twice now on Euro Tunnels Shuttle They weren't the least bit interested. I drive everyday on the M20 and had the same tyre noise until I change the tyres. Michelin PSS's are very noisy.
I laugh when he beep Jesus Criss. Lol
true! :D maybe he's being loyal to other gods in 21st century.. D'ohh!
it's not funny couse muslims will take over uk
Awesome video!
For all American viewers, take a look at the bit of the video on the gas station, 1.4 € per liter, that is 1.9 $ per L or 7.2$ per gallon, that's why we drive 2l diesels and consider 3l to be a big engine.
Realy nice video. Pls make more journey car reviews. This one was fantastic :)
Brilliant 17 minutes
gotta love those M cars, there has never been a bad one
How can you dislike this?
Great video more like this would be ace.
Awesome video...
BMW is amazing. This car can go on a 900 mile roadtrip with a lap of the nordschliefe which is one of the most demanding tracks in the world as well as go fast on the autobahn, and carve up mountain roads. Despite this it still will keep two passengers happy....... this shows that the car is realiable and fun! And you can beat it up all day and drive 500 miles home and still be fine. Amazing
It's interesting what Mat mentioned about the respect for BMWs by the Mercedes drivers.. I've noticed that too...
It just needs it's pitch to shift slightly higher as your reaching max revs that's all just a little shift and then the drop into the next gear and it would be fine but the note doesn't really change or at least from the videos I've seen it doesn't sound like the note changes very much as you go up the rev range which is a shame because everyone loves that tantalising bit as you rag something through the gears and just as you go to change you get that extra noise near/on redline!
10:08.... so he lets a GOLF and FIESTA through.... but no M4?
Dave Johnson he was just jealous his broke ass moved a barrier for a living lol
Dave Johnson it was DCT thats why he didnt let the M4 enter Lol
rahiee
whats DCT?
Dual Clutch Transmission *****
ah right, how come there not allowed on the track?
BMW
E46 ///M3 KING OF DA BEEMERS EXHAUST LIKE HEAVEN
spotted an e39 at 8:50. superb!
the exhaust note changes quite a lot during the break in...after the 1000 miles it should sound much better, also it would start making cracking noise etc.
When you got out of that tunnel, everyone was like the hell was that? A jet?
Careful closing that bonnet!
BMW M5's engine+M3/M4= WIN!
Is the end of this video just outside Farnborough airport? Looks very familiar. I guess it would make sense as there is a barons there, and BMW's new headquarters is nearby.
Why were the words "God" and "Jesus Christ" censored?
I don't understand either. Same for the Vsauce video about bad words, he censored "God" and "Jesus Christ"...
Cos GB is now caliphate
2. you shall not take the name of the lord your god in vain
Are you guys really that thick? Its called blasphemy and it offends allot of people and is one of the 10 commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Sksheep Chuk Bout time. Maybe you'll stop getting ripped off.
I really like this car!!
12:25 WHY DOES "OH MY GOD" AND "JESUS CHRIST" IS CENSORED? It isn't a curse, what is wrong with you Britain??
Karol Petrowicz Christianity?
It’s called blasphemy......
Great video! Can you tell us if you managed to get flashed along the way?
everyone comparing the c63 to this car needs to realise that car is now dated compared to this, eventually amg will also have to switch to turbo charged engines to reduce emissions, it wasn't bmw's choice to make the change, this is a benchmark car because it can do all the previous car could do and more with little down sides and lower emissions at the same time, bmw has worked with what they were allowed to do extremely well
put an aftermarket exhaust on that and it will sound incredible
If you put an aftermarket on the M4 it will sound like a stock M3 E92.
Nothing beats the old V8!
a twin turbo straight 6 would never, ever sound like a 4L v8. it would still sound good enough though
***** +1
*****
Oh! off course, nothing is better than a good ol' Japanese car btw German cars are just for... I don't know??
Not at all. You cannot improve poor induction sound. Just listen to the akrapovic exhaust on that m4 it's louder farting sound just like a fartcanon, a 1980 lawnmower or a civic with a skunk exhaust.
No turbo Ecoboost engine can ever come to 1/10 close to the sound of a high reving DOHC european V8 sound, Period.
great channel and vids....subcribed
Good review all in all, but I don't get all this apathy towards technical stuff. I would be very much interested in knowing more about that top mounted intercooler and some other interesting bits.
He he this review is also just funny.keep up the good work mate
i want one.. time to work hard for it
+THE TECH terrible terrible investment if you have to work for one lol probably wiser to invest the dough you work for. These are just toys
It doesn't sound bad at all, it's actually nice for what it is
15:45 funny I notice the exact same thing in my vauxhall corsa on different road surface types, just crap roads we have the lol
Drove this car, the only disappointing thing was the sound.
Otherwise a beautiful car inside and out!
dam that is a good looking car
It really is amazing how much people complain about the noise and trash the new M3/M4 because of it. Yes, it doesn't have the wonderful NA high revving sound, but why does the sound alone dictate the validity of ///M? You CAN improve the stock sound of the M4 through that BMW approves and don't void warranty (just like the M235). Its never going to be a high revving V8, but look at the progress ///M has made with this car. The engineering and technology runs circles around the E92. 99% of the people have never driven it, and I put money on the fact that if most did and compared it directly to the E92, they would realize that the ///M car is not lost, but better than ever. Whatever, haters gonna hate.
Mat you should have given me a shout that you was doing 1000 mile in the M4 and i would have given you a proper passenger ride on the ring.
@4:40 LMAO I nearly spat out my drink!
The young mat Watson
exhaust note, no ones talks reliability which is the single most important aspect of owning a sports car. Whether you lease or own, when you get behind the wheel everything needs to work unless you enjoy sipping expresso at the service center. New gen M3 & M4's are well made, sorted & reliable for what it does. Buyer beware: do not follow BMW interval schedule on lifetime fluids.
It’s Matt Watson with carwow
fiiiiiiine I'll buy one
Did you buy one?
@@akdomun 😂😂😆
Hello
Oh my god, this was a good video.
Whoops, hope you don't report me for bad language. I meant 'Oh my G**'.
4:50 sticker on the wind screen says "I love haters" LOL
This guy NEEDS to be on new top gear....he's driving these expensive cars but still grounded enough to relate to the audience.
what is that song which you played while you were driving on circuit? Its perfect for driving i gues :)
That acceleration to 170mph! Wow!
166mph to be precise 😊
Well either way the point was that it's a damn fast car haha
Austria!
Why beep it out when he says "My God!"?
3:22 the MX-5 probably was having more fun
this and the Jaguar XE R Sport 2 great great cars
roadwork = welcome to Germany!
It's pretty hard to drive 200km without encountering roadwork on the Autobahn
The M4 engine inside doesnt sound as horribly artificial as it does in the video, it really doesnt. It is slightly overcompensating, but nothing to harsh.
Finding out 9 years later Mat Watson was a host for auto express before carwow
BMW, please put the old M5's V10 in the 1M Coupe and Z4M Coupe.
A beautiful BMW. I wish i was in my 20's. 4.40i gran coupe might fit better for me. :) However i know even if i had a 4.40i, i would still be craving for an m4. 4 series are the sexiest ones in my opinion. By the way i gotta win the lottery to have one of these. In Germany i m sure you get the full pack of an m4 (brand new) for 50000 euros at most. Here in my country though the very same car is sold for about 130,000.- euros. :)
Track at 16:37 please anyone? Ive always preferred the M3 out of all the M's but I'll gladly pick this up, looks so elegant with performance and economy to back it up.
M4 THE BEAST💣💥💥🔝
I thought these cars has a 155mph limiter. I guessing not the case for the new model line.
color is kinda nice.
best car ever
it’s matt here from carwow
10:18 LOL! I feel sorry for you bro!
Young mat
the 0-62MPH is in 3.9sec www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Vehicles/2015/M/M4Coupe/Features_and_Specs/M4CoupeSpecifications.aspx
25mpg because you have it in sport+. My mums 420d sport does about 34.2mpg when it's in eco
***** Exactly, but I'm just saying the mpg average that it states it has on paper will be in eco mode. So it doesn't really make sense saying "This bmws gets 34mpg on average" when it just doesn't when you're using it likes its supposed to be used.
It's not fake engine sound. The sounds are from the engine, but because of the excellent sound proofing; they are picked up by microphones in the engine bay and played over the speakers. Is your voice fake when you talk on the phone?
what a briliant jornalist ! (carbuyer) ;)
Amazing car but WHY have it in metallic urine?
😂😂😂😂
Watching this dude makes me really appreciate just how good Chris Harris is.
