BMW M4 Convertible - My First Driving Impressions

The BMW M4: A Thrilling Drive

That overall works pretty well uh I mean thinking of the wheel handling unsurprisingly BMW it's really really good goes through the twisties incredibly well I actually think I might just try and turn around here because I'm not one for a sitting in a traffic jam at all so uh this is going to be an interesting test actually of can I uh Swizzle the car around in this little space I've got available to me here we've got the uh the camera system and you can get an all round car camera system as well which is quite nice um I don't know if you can quite see this but we've got some nice guidelines that just sort of guide me back a little I've chosen the worst possible place to do this oh okay that was me being a little bit silly cuz I'm used to driving a Jaguar F Type where you pull it back to go into gear and here that's not the case but uh an interesting test you know real world I guess this is what we're doing um

And then over to the right to go back into drive also Hill hold that's quite nice given that I'm doing this on a hill hear a little bit of the Grumble of the uh the engine sound as we do that I'll head back the way I came because I know there's no traffic if I go that way um there we go little bit of sound out of it so the straight six noise let me see if I can open it up a little bit here it's it's hard to describe but it's really quite fun to drive this thing um you get a lot of feedback from the car and just all round involvment in the experience don't know if I'm quite making sense but it's um somebody not going when it was his priority standard uh it feels really quite quick too it feels really quite quick uh that's pretty nice um

I just think it's a the M4 you know it's there's no question it's it's a success because it is an absolutely brilliant car compared to sort of the previous model I've driven the the e92 M3 before and to me this just feels sleeps and Bounds on in terms of the O overall sort of feel of the car how you get along with it but um yeah I'm just trying to think what else can I tell you so we got this button that just directly changes the gearshift settings Cycles through and then with all of this configuration you actually have on the steering wheel M1 and M2 which you can pre-configure to your own sort of complete setup going all the way through those settings so I like how you can literally set up a whole ton of different things exactly how you want so you can tailor the car because for example me living in London I want the car to have a sporty gearbox setting and and that kind of thing but I don't want to have horrible suspension because I'm always going to be hitting bumps so you want that kind of softened down and you can configure that exactly how you want to a degree that not many other cars let you do which is something quite special

uh this particular car has ceramic brakes so if I put my foot on the anchors it does it pretty pretty quickly um so that's good oh I've succeeded in finding more traffic even though there wasn't traffic here a few minutes ago that seems to be my overall experience in Los Angeles cars cars and a few more cars but um no I have to say pretty uh impressed with my little Drive in the M4 shown you a little bit about it in some other videos as well so make sure you check those out but uh hopefully I get some more time to spend in this car cuz I'd like to get to experience it somewhere where I can open it up a little bit more and give it a proper go but sort of as a normal person trying to drive this car there is no question it takes a lot of the boxes the only thing would be if you want if you were wanting something that sounded a little bit more sporty uh where the the competitors I suppose might take that box a little bit better

but from a driving perspective it's Quick N to 62 4.6 seconds top speed 150 mph limited of course um and it will do that in a very nice real world A to B get there enjoy very well with a big smile on your face and you will enjoy it so uh yeah hope you enjoyed my uh first thoughts of the BMW M4 make sure you subscribe check out those other videos talking a bit more about the outside of the car showing the roof showing that kind of stuff and talking more through those settings and the now system exactly what you can see but that's it for now I'll catch up with you again very soon cheers
