Ordering second M4?

997usa · 07-16-2015, 09:26 AM

Am I crazy?? My wife loves the sakhir orange color so I am contemplating ordering a '16 M4 coupe in Sakhir; it will be a barebones 6MT with Cloth..... She had an F10 M5 before which I sold some months ago so yes, she is used to some ponies

It will be a nice complement to the vert I have. Shall I pull the trigger or instead get something else? I was also eyeing the GT350 Shelby but they will have massive Market Value increases for at least another 12 months....

Not too many options out there if she has to have a manual, otherwise I'd say consider the C63S or maybe a Jag F-type R?

Manual not a must I just want to keep the cost down and I have read so many good things about the 6MT...

Why not!?

I'd love to have dual M's in the stable his and hers style.

Yeah I like the idea too. Plus it gives me something else to drive

or at least a different transmission and a fixed roof at times...

I'd do an M3 for this one to make them more different. M3 has a more aggressive look too IMO.

Your wife will drive a manual? ....man, you scored.

Very cool. Two M4 family. I bow to the light that is in you.

997usa · 07-16-2015, 10:08 AM

Thanks for all your positive comments! She says she doesn't care much about cars yet was thrilled with the M5 I bought for her (yeah right, I used her as an excuse to get another toy!). She does love the M4 and the Sakhir; the 6MT is my cheap ass to save 4k on the DCT; she doesn't drive that much so she can handle a stick ! And if not, that's what's she got

)

It has been an interesting path; when we lived in Europe she started with an 316i, then we upgraded to a new E36 318i touring, then we moved to the U.S. and her car was an Grand Cherokee overland then a RR sport then I bought her an F01 740i which she loved (I didn't.... Too soft) then got the M5 and now a VW GTI

. Love the GTI.... Few cars are more fun for the little money! The M4 would be a nice upgrade again

It certainly is more practical but I love the cleaner lines on the coupe

2HIGH~PSI · 07-16-2015, 10:13 AM

^ I was just going to say to go with the M3 as well. While I have an M4 because of the reasons you mentioned, the new M3 is easily the best looking sedan BMW has come out with.

AlphaOmega4 · 07-16-2015, 10:47 AM

My Vote would be a Sakhir M3...

M4 DCT and M3 6spd would be an awesome stable!

rr006rbc · 07-16-2015, 11:21 AM

Get the M3 this time around. That way you can carry two more people comfortably whenever you need to!

All that is mine is mine and all that is hers is mine...

well, at least at this board I can pretend that.

I know lots of wives that drive manuals, especially in the BMW circles. My wife wouldn't have an automatic

P.S. My vote would be Sakhir M4.

Ian1973 · 07-16-2015, 01:41 PM

Personally I would want something different if I already had an F8x.

I think I haven't mentioned this in a while: Your wife is a bloody rockstar!

I think so. For the same money, get a used 997.1 TT 6MT, or up it a bit for a GT4. Or even get an M3 to have practicality
