Like me some more boring colors like black and shades of silver/grey. That dar powder blue M color is a little loud for me but looks nice.

Black metallic is by far my favorite but I like to keep the paint looking good so its rough when every imperfection shows. Current has the metallic black that looks dark blue in certain light that I love even more. Though even touching it wrong with a towel puts in microscratches that I can see but I have gotten better of ignoring it.

Have heard that transmission is a little temperamental to say the least. Forgot you likely have the model that depending on the settings will give you 400hp or 500hp. Hope you have those confusing German settings down now.

Nice. Less power shouldn't even be a setting. You are going to get ****ing awful MPG either way so no idea why BMW added that.

Fairly different cars but could see the M4 maybe getting within the ballpark of acceleration of the early V8 model R8 but. Would assume the early model mid engine R8 wouldn't be comparable in handling to the M4. Guilty of checking used R8 prices before and haven't depreciated as much as I would have thought.

I get like 12-14 mpg with 2 less cylinders but have a short commute. Really don't care about the mpg at all but it's mildly annoying with a 15 gallon tank.

If you don't care about having people in your back seat and considering something like an M4 you should really think of Porsche. They really are impressive to drive.

Awesome. Have always wondered what they were like on a real road since they look great and tick all the supercar boxes.
