Looks like your team has done a very good job rebuilding this. These TH-cam rebuilds tend to be quite good because people will call them out on short cuts and mistakes. All of the panel gaps are uniform and presentable, the paint match is good as well. Looking forward to future rebuilds
Yes why go for it ,nah drive a tesla soulless fridge on wheels
Let’s be honest as well. Many manufacturers don’t give you uniform panel gaps out the factory!
was going to get one of these but read on Pistonheads that the Jaguar F Type was very similar to drive. When it came down to it I just couldn't say no to the looks of the Jaguar. M4 is a great car though and noticeably faster.
Tough decision
I did buy a 19 reg M4 comp with just 9k on the clock. Had it for 4 months then swapped for a 19 reg F-Type 3 litre with black pack and fixed rear wing. So much nicer and refined and still shifts. Better in some ways on Brit roads. Doesn’t give out in the rear the same and sounds proper. Unlike the M4 which just sounds so weak.
I want a jaaag too. Hopefully the xkr
@@jgtempertonmy friend bought the 2 litre f type I really hated it. Followed a v6 on my motorcycle and sounded lovely. The 2.0 was noisey, not that fast, horrible suspension and cramped despite beautiful looks
@@volt8684 The 2 litre is made for peasants who want to show off, similar to the evoque so not a surprise
I used to love your “Should I buy a…” series. I wish you would do more of these again, please :)
They are great cars, i had a 2014 Yas marina blue one when they first came out for two years and then traded it in for a c63s, hard to say out of the two which was the better car. Each one had its own positives.
I totally love the "Should you buy.. " series, great video :)
My friend just bought a F82 M4 - I'm quite excited for him.
Good choice!
Awesome review, agree with almost everything you’ve said, owned my 68 plate M4 comp for just over two years now and 20k miles, it’s now stage3 and 640bhp! There isn’t much on the road in the dry that can touch it.
I will say though that you really only want Michelin PS4S or Conti sport contact7 to get best use out of power delivery and handling.
Keep up the good work.
What are these M4's like in the rain?
@@audify3833 Scary
@@audify3833 Drift-machines. Be smooth on the throttle and it's great. Mash it like an idiot with DSC off... and you'll get a harsh lesson :)
Perfectly safe if you drive normally and pretty idiot-proof with the DSC on. MDM mode (reduced DSC) is not totally idiot-proof though.
Loved my M4, still regret selling it. A dream in the dry. Fine in the wet provided you don’t prod the throttle like a moron - that said, it stepped out on me more than once at over 60mph with nothing more than some gentle acceleration 😂. If you can get one with extended merino leather, it feels really premium inside too.
@@PrinceBarin77 Absolutely, my 2020 F83 has two tone BMW individual extended leather, i love it, it's all leather; dashboard, doors, console, etc.. Very nice.
Bought a fully loaded Sakhir Orange Comp Pack 2 months ago and love it - for those moaning about traction, GTS flash + Michelin PS4S tyres all round sorts that right out 🔥
Hi mate, sorry to sound naive but what is a ‘GTS flash’? I do love the M4’s but the whole traction thing does put me off.
looks like the lads have done a great job of repairing it Matt 👍👍
Ah, nice to finally see a Should You Buy video again! These are the reason I started watching the channel. The 'I Bought a Cheap' videos just aren't the same, though I appreciate many people can relate to them...
I prefer doing the ‘should you buy’ videos but they just don’t get the same sort of views 🤷🏼♂️
@HighPeakAutos that's interesting to know! Don't get me wrong, I do like both types, I just find your reviewing style very real and relatable so when you review a car it's really useful.
Keep up the good work! 👍
This is one big advert, you realise that right?
@@blitzsah is it?
He finally did it!! I have been looking at a m4 pre 2018 for 2 years now.. but the prices are just not sensical in this insane car mkt
Great review as ever and well done on upping the quality of your video production further. Some nice little ‘extras’ in this one 👍
The good thing with the S55 and S58 (and N54 1M and N55 base M2) is that they use the same oil that “regular BMWs” use, which should make them somewhat more affordable to maintain, as I believe the “special oil” that the old N/A M engines might cost a bit more.
That was a long advert...
Great content as always Matt. Had my San Marino M4 Comp for 7 months now and plenty of sunny days to drop the roof. The boys did a great job with the rebuild. Look forward to seeing the new project. In the business and would recommend your cars and your channel to anyone. And regularly do. Keep up the great work
46.6Mpg is exactly the same as I managed out of mine, decent tyres do cost close to £1k, servicing is reasonable until you get to the year 4 service, then it’s around £1200 at a dealer. The car was a beast, would spin the rear tyres when flooring the accelerator on a damp motorway in sport plus. My Mercedes E53 estate has more power on paper, but weight is a killer, it’s a lot slower. Not less comfortable though, which surprised me.
That is unbelievably good to be fair
£700 plus for the spark plugs 🤦
Should you buy a “Crash Damaged BMW” that’s been repaired by some mates and now forsale. ?
Fellow F80 owner. Absolutely love the car. Spikey power delivery so you need to respect the car, but it's absolutely amazing. Also now much lighter than the new G80, and better looking IMO.
Good review as always … Those panel gaps ! Proof you should never buy damage repaired !
My mate had a tuned m4 competition and it was terrifying. He ended up parking it in someones front room by mistake and did nearly half a mils worth of damage 🤦🏼♂️ Was an amazing car though, acceleration was mind bending...
One thing I've always thought BMW did well was the "aggressive but subtle" look; Even a layman can look at it and just *know* this is not a peasant-spec company car without it being garishly over the top, and this is a good example. The styling leaves no doubt this is seriously fast car but isn't covered with big wings and sticky-out bits. Sure the carbon styling pack do emphasise it a lot more but it's still relatively subtle.
It's an art BMW just binned with the "Beaver teeth" grille for the current models. It just looks hideous.
The lads did a great job and were a treat to watch. I'm a fan of people like Freddie Tavarish and the Tansformotion lads are definitely in the same vein.
my partner has one of these, I must say it flies. Beautifully built car.
Lovely lookkng car for 9 years old. Lovely carbon interior
Always sound car advice, first stop when looking at cars. Keep it up!
Looks and sounds amazing Matt! I’ve bought my ticket on raffle shack so fingers crossed 🤞🏻😀
Best of luck!
Can't wait for these comps to get banned
Great camera shots here, hard to tell its ever been crashed. Great work by team transformotion 👏 when they releasing latest video Matt?
Next Thursday
Yes! Absolutely ❤️ that car.
And especially this one with extensively tested airbags 😉
Hahaha!
You’ve done an awesome job with it and I am so sorely tempted, (( even telling myself the insurance costs might be ok )) right up to the road tax and tire costs. For the mileage I do, can’t justify it.
Still well done!!!
4000 miles a year of fun?
+1 for Smooth Chill radio, perfect for taking it easy on a long drive 👌
When it comes to car reviews...you're second to none. 👐
who won the M4?
the pinnacle for M design, what a beautiful looking car
Fantastic car, perfect for a driver. This 4 series shape is the best and nothing newer comes close, the i4 is hideous, the new 5 is ugly and the 3 well lets ignore that. Great video.
So nearly got one but went for a fully spec’d 440i instead. Stage 1 + XHP gearbox tune and 430bhp is great but can’t help but still want the M4.
I test drove the Alpina B4 and the M4 back in the day. Bought a new M4. Great fun in the dry. Lack of traction in the wet was laughable. Traded for a new Boxster.
It has one of the best asses of any car. There, I said it :) Shout out to your camera/ editor - those drop in transparencies look very, very cool and really elevate the visuals. And are unique - I've never seen them on other channels.
Thanks!
Stunning version of that car. I went for the convertible 428i of the same age, wheel size etc, really good spec. I prefer the look of the coupe (the hard top convertible can get confused with a 2 series) but I don’t have to look at it when I’m driving. Started enjoying Matt’s videos during turn long process of working out what I should get.
100% of people who don’t like BMW’s haven’t driven one. Incredible engineering. FWIW I bought my first BMW (a 320D MSport 178) because it was the same price as a Golf and had a better used resale value.
If you don't have to look at it while driving you obviously bought the right car...lol
M4s are lovely, has to be a convertible one for me though, listen to that soundtrack more
Great video as always Matt!
The M4 is so common here! Everybody loves the F82 and F80 M3! :D
you are the Fast Show 'which was nice' bloke ( and I claim my £5 ) 🤩
😂
So much better-looking than the current (G82) M4.
The F80/82 M3/M4 is that one perfect car that i always struggle to like . I'd still recommend it .
I can't help but notice a bit of Clarkson's charm in this presentation. And I mean it in the good way. Cheers Matt!
" I was afraid it might feel a bit fraud a bit essex" classic mate!! hahaha
You need a big bank balance to run and maintain a BMW properly. Nothing is a cheap fix, other than fitting new wiper blades and they probably need coding to the car.
They don’t need coding 😂…I have one and it’s exactly the same as any car. As long as you don’t buy a high mileage or abused you shouldn’t have issues
Recently bought a 435i, i think it sounds better than the m4. I have it in luxury spec, so a gentlemans car but with a sport+ mode. Stage 1 remap 380bhp. Quite when in comfort. I average 29 mpg. £295 tax. My young kids have loads of room in the back. Get a full set of golf clubs and trolley in the boot. Will still buy a couple tickets though 😉
Lol
@@JayP787 ?
yes is the correct answer
Amazing car. I drove my friend’s once when we went out and he smoked too much weed and couldn’t drive home (I was sober). And that got me thinking - that’s really the problem with this car, isn’t it - the type of person who drives an M4 is the type of person who gets too high and can’t drive home (but unlike my mate, probably still does anyway)…
I do love an F82. They are deadly though... so much faster than people realise.
Great video,nice car and here is the but.
From experience you will pay more on insurance for an accident damaged car,25% at least.
What time is the draw please?
Following?
Nice but I’d pick any RS Audi over any BMW M. It’s the chav choice let’s be honest.
I'm not not a fan of recent BMW styling but these I give 10/10 perfect with the period internal dash board etc nothing better
Great car.. Definitely worth buying. All the car would would ever need.
I’m looking for a 2018/2019 sub 20k miles Champagne Quartz CP Coupe. I know I’m being picky and there are not many around, but I am happy to wait and pay for what I want. Great cars.
Had a F80 M3 last year. Bought as a bucket list car. Sold it after 6 months. Had the worst gearbox ever. When the car was moving, gearbox was fine. However the DCT box is crap at standstill. Engage drive or reverse, lift your foot of the pedal and the car is actually in neutral until you hit the accelerator. WTF??? Try parallel parking on a hill, you’ll soon realise how bad the box is.
Was genuinely looking at one of these year ago when I swapped my 3 series and with a 35k budget could easily have bought one but was concerned about the security of it.
Too many cars in my area like the Golf R, Audi S3 have vanished off driveways too easily. It would have to have been garaged constantly.
I'd be too concerned about parking it in Asda for fear of some neds putting a coin along it.
Has the raffle draw taken place yet? Was 14 Oct then 21 Oct but haven’t seen anything thus far (22/10) Perhaps flooding has affected the area.
3:24 a rare sight.
One of the best cars 🚘 on this planet, certainly worth buying if you can afford it, generally, they are never meant for the average earner, new or old!!
There is nothing like an unbiased warts and all car review. Can't be done if you are trying to sell it at the same time.
I always try not to worry about ruining a potential sale, I’ll always show a cars faults. We’re all different so just because I don’t like something doesn’t mean everyone won’t
The answer is yes! Now, where is that lottery ticket?
Hi Matt been waiting for this video since following your mates transform it back to life. Made a brill job take care
Thanks
Why is there no notification of any winner?? was it a scam???
Love the styling of the older model. "Nice" review.
Still a great looking car the 4 Series, had mine 7 years, should really change it, but it will cost me £40k to upgrade and mine still drives like new!
They are really nice but I do miss the old naturally aspirated M engines, the turbocharged engines are just too eager and lack that ease of drivability at low revs....
The guys did a spanking job on that M4. It looks fab!
the silver version is epic!
Such a sexy thing
G80 m3 is definitely the plan In the near future once running costs aren’t such a big issue
Love the I've massively overspent air freshener thingies haha
I always think it’s funny when people talk about high road tax being 600 pounds, compare that to Ireland and high road tax is close to 2 grand a year.
my dream car. The shape, the power, the noise, the cabin ... people don't rate the M4's, I am the opposite :)
Very good car this BMW. Yes it's on my list of cars I must have
Kevin
Great content as always High Peak Autos
Ppl never mention how economical they are. I couldn't believe how good on fuel it was. It was better on fuel than my rs3 and a45. Mental
After a year of Bentley ownership, I'm bailing and bought a new M440i Gran Coupe (and I KNOW it's not a proper M!). They offered me way more for the Continental than I expected. I pray I don't get the one year itch with this one (which is normal for me. It will be my 30th consecutive car). My 1991 E30 308i Convertible is also going, as it rarely leaves the garage. Fancy dipping a toe in the classics market Matt? (joke).
My experience with them is ……. Disappointing !!! Way too heavy to be a sports car - Way too rigid to be a GT ….. it’s not for me - I’d rather take something like an top of the range, but not AMG E class coupe
Not sure that the M4 ever had a V8 🧐
My son-in-law had a V8 4 litre M3 500 coupe which he bought brand new (white with red leather interior).
He had it only a couple of weeks and the engine seized.
BMW took it back and gave him a replacement (same colour).
That also siezed after a few weeks.
BMW offered a courtesy car (a straight six standard version) while they rebuilt his (2nd) engine.
He never did pick it up, he had a full refund and bought something else.
I like your vidoes and a fan but dont you think your over selling this crashed car which goes against what you have been telling us what to avoid and to check before buying??
This is content for a different channel. It’s entertainment to buy a wreck and transform it. I thought so anyway
@@HighPeakAutos Hi Mat. That makes sence. Ive just watched your post on how you started your business. It was reather good and informative.
Well I didn’t know the 3 series coupe was now the 4 series, thought it was odd but then keeping up with BMWs nomenclature has never been easy since about 2005.
Genuienly on the fence about getting a F82. Mmmmm what to do
HOLY SHIT!! WE CAN BUY HIGH PEAK AUTO'S AIR FRESHENERS!!! My favourite youtube channel time to buy some for my car 🤣
M4 f82 the beast ///BMW///💣💥
Been using Darren Wood for my 5 series after your recommendation. They are absolutely excellent, so thanks
I love the mirror car freshener 😂
not a bent one, insurance is a nightmare
I thought this too, but when I looked into quite a few Insurance companies were happy as long as the car has a MOT. The issue would resell and value if you were in an accident as you won't get much for it if written off again.
Yes Matt, I hate electric PB's
Love it gorgeous near as nice as a E46 M3
Very nice report Matt. Good luck with the draw...😎
how come you don't sell as many performance cars like this?
I did like the way the air freshener was enjoying the g-force👌
Who else here is genuinely disappointed that the video is only 10 mins long... 😊
5:28 & 7:10 "I've massively overspent" air freshener 😂
Hopefully I'll be buying it for a fiver, not "massively overspending" on it and selling it on for a pre profit tax of...
Oh I hadn’t thought of buying an M4! Just what I need in my retirement
Matt, as the ride can be a little hard at town speeds, have you ever experimented with dropping tyre pressures by 2 to 3 lbs ? I ask because. of late, I've been doing this with my 1000cc motorcycle. When set cold, the pressures rise by two to three lbs per square inch after they've warmed up and my thought is that cover all tyre pressures make very little sense, unless for a fully laden vehicle. Obviously, too much of a drop would risk wheel damage. I'd regularly do the same with my car, were it not for the fact that one tyre is a bit leaky, likely from alloy wheel rim corrosion over time but I have tried it and the ride is a lot nicer.
Put smaller wheels and tyres on would help more
@@pauldavies6037 I still have the OE smaller steel wheels in the shed for the car, but there's much less cornering grip with them, the tyre size being obviously narrower. Everything is a compromise !
Always wanted one of these, went for the m lite or baby version whatever you wanna call it the 435i and it's a great car too....its for sale and I'm supposed to be buying something more comfortable and practical but the m4 keeps turning my head haha
why don’t you just get one if you can and get rid of it if it’s not practical enough, atleast you will get it out of your system ahah
It's no lout in an England shirt, it's got a little class to it.
Earlier this year I was in the market for an M4 but picked a Bullitt Mustang… M4 might be the better car on paper but I couldn’t be happier 😎
are they hard to come by here in the UK?
@@Charlie0106 not particularly - they are out there.
The Boxster that replaced my M4 was traded for a manual Mustang GT. Great cars.
Personally would rather have my N55 M2. Better car, better value, and better long term investment.
I get a lot more attention in my E38 than any M4 ,100% .Its always outside the midland hotel manchester .
A man of class I see 👌
