Judging by the videos posted by Jason (link above), sounds like an incremental improvement. Engine is pretty much the same, so I guess there's only so much that can be done. Not sure that I can hear much of a difference between F90 std. & Sports exhaust. There was a greater difference between F10 std. and CP exhausts IMO. Obviously would need to hear F90 in person to confirm. Also, perhaps a somewhat cynical view, but for those wanting a more exotic sound from their F90s, this leaves some room for BMW to cash-in on a re-branded Akrapovic full titanium 'M Performance Exhaust' . If sticking with BMW and acknowledging it lacks luxury features, have you considered an M2 CS? Last edited by Dionysus; 08-24-2017 at 07:21 PM.. |

E46 sounded terrible for NA car. BMW tried too hard; none of the 'turbine' smoothness of the std. straight sixes. BMW's attempt to inject some character with that weird exhaust rattle during WOT sounded more like the engine was being torn apart... oh, wait a minute...
CSL was probably the way to go for the E46 generation. |

Apologies - should also have said congrats on the M4 before I entered off topic! The dark accents (lights/wheels) are an improvement IMO. Is the 2018 M4 the introduction of the LCI or changes in addition to that? I can't keep up with BMW anymore, they definitely seems to have deployed an agile development methodology with significant changes outside of LCIs. Also, may I ask what you found too much about the R8 as a DD? I've been recommended one as a potential replacement to the M5 on several occasions. I did follow one on the motorway the other day and it look very wide (and low) for UK roads. The sound and response from the N/A engine must be a major plus? |

Having said that I'd rather go for Cayman over M2. If only they hadn't gone the 4 cylinder route in the 718. In my experience 718S + sports exhaust is intrusively loud rather than mellifluous. |

Is the M2 CS a "young person's" car? What do you say about the M4?

In my opinion 2-series is for 20's and 3/4-series for 30's. I just got M4 to feel 30's especially MT recalling those days but then I regretted and missed all 3 of my 6-series including M6... Clear enough bro?

Jk, the M4 looks cool too, but that R8 is lethal. Any reason other than attention/flashiness you can't daily your R8? I was mentioning to Vic55 that the new R8 is #1 on my list followed by a S63 Coupe. Birthday is next week, so time to treat myself.

R8 is actually very comfortable even without the magnetic suspension. You can even carry a normal conversation at highway speeds without raising your voice. I started going into my office twice a week so commuting about 40 miles each way. Just didn't want to put that many commuting miles on it.

I guess it all boils down to your intended type of usage. If you are on the express way in traffic with the car and want a good stop light runner and quick lane change car but wont be making any evasive or more aggressive turns; the S63C could be your car. I like the R8 for so many reasons though. It can be a daily driver and very very comfortable. It performs like a supercar and sounds incredible. But some wont find it luxurious enough. EDIT: apologies to the OP for the OT post

Only issue with R8 is too flashy for me.... Both at school and work, haha. If I got that R8, I'd have to go grab a Rover or something around $75-$80k as a daily. S63 is a swiss army knife. I'm borrowing an R8 from the dealer next week to test it out over a few days, I'll let you know what I think It's only a V10, not a V10+ like yours, haha.
