Silverstone M4 Photos, Impressions, etc.

ybbiz34 · 06-30-2014, 07:42 PM

I dropped by the dealer today to check out the lone M4 that they had on the lot.

Currently, I have a '13 C63 sedan and a '14 E550 sedan (6 BMWs before that).

I'll revisit this post/thread later to include my observations and impressions but for now, I'd like to share some photos as it seems Silverstone has been kind of a neglected color thus far.

I call that bs. It's NOT neglected, we just don't have any taste. SS on SS will be the epic choice to the young. If the hair color matches the car, forget it.

Agreed. Silverstone needs some more love. The Silverstone x2 combo looked absolutely fantastic in person.

Yes, that combo would have been my first pic, if my goal would not be to transport the dogs in it. Black is my only option because of that.

It really does, particularly in person. When further away from the car, you can see subtle hints of blue but as you get closer, the silver really pops. It's a very complex (in a good way) color.

My choice, for sure.

Then I would have a chrome car. #chromedome

As I've already stated. The M4 has two less window regulators to worry about.

Nope, that's a Porsche then.

Big fan of that color! Here are links to more of my Silverstone pics, unfortunately I've gotta sell her if anyone is interested in a really great lease deal or purchase. $831 month.

I have lots of grey hair. SSII suits me just fine. And the SO interior tells you I am a teenager trapped in a middle-aged body.

W/// · 07-01-2014, 10:16 AM

A very underrated color indeed. Here's the one I test drove:

It's begging for SO interior though. Honestly, while I liked the color a hell of a lot more than I thought I would, there's just too many other better colors. And by better I guess I mean the ones that I like. I'd absolutely have to go for AY, it's stunning!

Lups · 07-01-2014, 10:22 AM

I keep coming to see these photos and all I think about is that I seriously fucked up with the color thing again.

Oh well...

What did you go with?

I wanted the F82 for the subtle hint of power, and for it's way to mix in, not standing out in the traffic, so AY of course!

Dude, in my list of epic fuckups, this one will not be forgotten soon...

I lost my mind in the build process and I don't think I will get over this one anytime soon.

Hahahaha very subtle! But honestly, I've looked at so many pictures and I love AY more and more. It looks good in all conditions (whereas YMB doesn't look too great in very bright sunlight).

Super jealous man. I'd love to add an AY F80.
