Yet another new M4 owner (Sakhir Orange)

stormlv · 06-06-2017, 07:04 PM

Took delivery of my new M4 CP last Thursday and wanted to share some pictures that I managed to take today.

I've already racked almost 500miles and I'm going to be at 1200 by the end of the week

It's my first M and I can't express how amazing this car feels.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the pictures!

Awesome man! Congrats! Sakhir Orange is one of the best and most exciting colors on an M car

ssuene93 · 06-06-2017, 07:38 PM

Congrats. +1 on Sakhir Orange. Look awesome.

SakhirM4 · 06-06-2017, 07:41 PM

Looks great. Congratulations!!!

Shizzel720 · 06-06-2017, 09:00 PM

Very nice! Congrats!

stormlv · 06-07-2017, 01:25 AM

Thank you guys!

JTO24 · 06-07-2017, 08:14 AM

Awesome! I forgot how good the black 437M wheels look. I like them better than the black 666M wheels.

dmboone25 · 06-07-2017, 08:25 AM

Congrats! Looking very nice and clean.

GOLFFRR · 06-07-2017, 08:28 AM

I really like the look as well.
My dealer was really surprised that I chose this over the 666M, but besides the looks I also thought that maybe the ride could be a bit more comfortable with 19s instead of 20s.

Thanks!

I really like it as well.
For some reason or another, I have yet to see a SO in Switzerland though

im a fan of all white, grey and black colors.. but on your pics the Sakhir looks stunning!

trey100 · 06-09-2017, 01:40 PM

Love SO (yeah I'm biased). For sure if I go with an M3 next time I will get ZCP but opt for the 19s.

One question - the wheel gap looks significant. Anything in the ZCP causing this?

My car is on stock suspension but I don't remember having that much of a gap when I was on my stock 255/275. Admittedly I put o spacers shortly after it was new and now I'm on 275/295 so maybe I'm just not remembering correctly.

Best of luck with the new car!

I checked for the shipping blocks and they don't seem to be there...
In the back I only have the end of travel yellow stoppers and in the front under the sleeve there seems to be a few CM of piston free up to the stoppers.

Any thing to check in particular to be 100% sure?

Wah · 06-09-2017, 06:45 PM

Sweet... I have a 2018 SO M4 in production right now. The wait is hard... these pics make it harder. Congrats.

Here's mine when new and on stock tires. The front definitely has a big gap but doesn't the rear seem less so?

mike@x-ph.com · 06-12-2017, 01:46 PM

Beautiful car, congrats!

stooker · 06-12-2017, 01:48 PM

Yes, adaptive LEDs! Love them and glad I'm getting them on my build.

Congrats and enjoy the new ride in good health!

It's b/c we have M3s and the stock rear gap is less noticeable with our badass fender flare!!!

I disagree. The rear gap is non existent on my M3 (at least). I can't stick more than a finger between the fender and the wheel well. It's especially unreal given the insane gap in the front where you could stick both of your elbows!
