BMW M4 HELP!

[lonestay]

You can start an M4 just like any other car , the car itself wont deliver full power until it deems itself warmed up enough anyway then you can play with the M1 and M2 buttons .

Tolmie needs a faster car.

I believe the injunction is still good for 6 months.

i`ve seen a video where to start the car you have to press the brake and then wait for the dials to light up, then hold the accelarator down until you hear the valve open, then press the brake again and push the start button?? then there are all the suspension settings, drive mode settings, steering wheel comfort settings etc? Just wondered if its easy enough to get used to mate?

I have a M340D xdrive touring and the controls are simplicity itself. But then I test drove mine extensively before I bought it to make sure. :-) you will probably need your eco-drive setting mate ;-)

Good morning chaps, looking for some help/advice on anyone who has driven or had a BMW M4 competition car? I`ve just bought this beauty but obviously being on the isle of man we get most cars from the uk and have them brought over so dont test drive etc? Are these cars as fast as i`ve read about? they also seem to have about 1 billion different features and tricky to start etc? Any help most appreciated!

I passed one the other day on the M1, jogging along at 50mph. I just cruised past at 55mph in my Peugeot Partner Tepee! It wasn't that nice colour blue, though! Perhaps it's only the blue ones that outpace the unmarked police cars.

Good cars fast and reliable. See if it’s got yellow callipers if so expensive carbon ceramic brakes

it does. The M340d does 0-60 in 4.8 which is fast enough for me and returns 45mpg + on our commute to the Etihad. Diesel has life left In a it yet.

Think your confusing that with Launch Control for track racing which is on the M models and requires the above.

for normal start Foot on brake > Press Start hey presto

All the suspension settings you need for an average driver are preset and touch of a button - ECO COMFORT SPORT M MODE
