In this vid I go through some tips in what you should look out for when buying your ideal F80 M3 or F82 M4 Like Share Comment and Subscribe Follow for more on my instagram @k4byx
Yours is a stunning colour - but I can’t help but think the ones with the adaptive LED (Icons) make the M4 look so much better. I’d recommend anyone who’s thinking about getting an M4 to make sure it has the merino leather dash and Icon headlights
It's great to have the icon headlights but that also means you have to get a 2018+ with the facelift and those are gonna cost in the mid to high 40k with good mileage. You can buy aftermarket icon headlights for around $1500-2k too.
@@No_Hookshot must be a regional thing with the price. You can get a 2017-2018 facelift with icons and good mileage (c. 30k miles) for around £30k. In fact, there’s one available for £28.5k as well speak!
also when u finance a car in private garage if he don't want to finance that mean this car has well maintenainced that how i got my gti 7 cs just another trick to do when u want to buy
I think the risk is greater now for these cars as the oldest and cheapest car is about 10 years old and at around £20k-£25k and the youngest car is around 4 years old at over £32k and up to £40k for a high spec low mileage example. In between these ages and prices there are so many good and mainly bad examples ones that are on the market being sold
@@DownShiftThrottle Haha 100% Any high end brand BMW/AUDI/MERCEDES is always at risk of theft. I don't understand how people can part with these expensive cars and skimp out on extra security for as little as £450.00. Changing car isn't going to stop it happening specially a Audi lol!
Was booked in for a ghost 11am next day. Disklok also turned up following morning. But it doesn’t stop there steering wheel theft and infotainment theft will still happen no matter what security you have. Just isn’t worth it
Was booked in with Ben to fit a ghost for 11am the next day. I know you know him as your in the same fb group I’m in. Plus a disklok turned up the following morning. Just unlucky I suppose. But it doesn’t stop there. The fact the steering wheel can be ripped off and infotainment screen removed in seconds (happened to my neighbour) is just shit. The Audi will have a ghost fitted and tracker before I pick it up this time. Surprised you haven’t mentioned these issues in your video tbh. Quite prevalent with m3/4’s and 5 series BMW’s just not worth it unless you have a garage. Only way they’ll take the Audi is by breaking in my house. Good luck with that lol
Do ya homework don't be fooled into thinking the newer the reg ,the better the car .as fewer owners has possible and a full bmw service history is a good start

Very true, the full leather extended dash and icons were very expensive options at the time….those that have them look really great!

All cars are a risk … good, but obvious points raised …
True, hopefully some tips here helps people out buying a 5+ year old M3/M4

Buying M cars has always been risk-laden.

Bought an m3 last week Monday. Was stolen Monday night. Buying an rs6 instead. BMW’s are to attractive to thieves.
Good luck with the RS6…..hopefully lasts longer than a day….lol

Exactly, no car is safe with standard fit security.

Yep very fair comment…..the example I spoke about was a late 2020 registered car but condition of it looked like it was 5+ years old
Why risky? This car sounds very bad, it is pretty dangerous in the wet, but it is considered very reliable.
I own a competition, doesn’t sound bad. Maybe you need your ears testing. As for the wet, you’re obviously just a bad driver
I didn’t get your comment….sorry
@@DownShiftThrottle Name of the video is whether this car is ,"risky to buy". I think it is a relatively low risk buy.
@@ravib3494The S55 doesnt sound good, the only way to make it sound good is to have a equal length midpipe which is not that expensive
