For the guys who have the $ and want it, who cares? Definitely not my taste - all of these extra carbon bits and the ceramic brakes - but good to have options for those who like them.

I wonder if it is BMW's answer to the European pedestrian protection regulations and it is the just best they can do? I don't know. I understand that we Americans are supposed to "get" the sophisticated European design language, but Jesus H.

Being an old dude, I remember when the E30 M3 debuted, it was about $6K more than a 325i. And back then hardly anyone wanted to pay the premium for a 4-cylinder over the M20.

I would like this exact spec as an M3 but also agree those side skirts are terrible.

That's a nice CT4 Blackwing. I don't see very many out and about. I see more of the bigger brother (CT5 Blackwing).
In regards to that M4 with the carbon bits and ceramic brakes, I don't see the xDrive badge, so I'm assuming it's missing the AWD feature... $120k is a lot. It's too close to the M4 CS price. I paid less for my new 1LZ C8 Z06. If someone can get a new M4 comp with xDrive for around $90k, I think that would be a better buy. |

Love the blackwing. I feel they will be classics one day.
Current M3/4 will likely not.

How does the 4 BW sound compared to the 5 BW? I've only watched videos of the reviews. The supercharged LT4 sounds incredible. The car will be my DD. Does the 4 give up much usable everyday performance compared to the 5?
Thanks, |

You're not going to get V8 sounds from a turbo V6.
I don't think you're going to notice the nearly 200hp less of the 4 day to day, most people are driving where there's too much traffic for that. |
