M3 vs M4: A Yas Marina Blue Comparison

M3V8X5V8 · 02-21-2014, 03:58 PM

I am struggling to decide which model I want to go with. I have an e92 M3 and miss having 4 doors when I had my X5. I think I will revert back to 4 doors with the F80 M3. I love those fenders and I've never been a fan of the arc of the aftermarket trunklids that the M4 has integrated. I prefer a bolt on spoiler.

So what does everyone else who is on the fence think?

F80 all the way in this generation. Last generation is was the E92 all the way.

M3V8X5V8 · 02-21-2014, 04:00 PM

Agreed!

parky1215 · 02-21-2014, 04:05 PM

I voted M3... because that's one that I am getting.

Still deciding what interior color combination to go with YMB.

F 80 here, those hips

ss134 · 02-21-2014, 05:26 PM

Never thought I'd see the day but the 4 door looks better from every angle.

Nice! My order has been in for over a month now- started off with YMB / SS now changed to AW/Black. Really wanted the SS interior but not with AW - May change to SO..... ... Or even back to my original spec!!!!!

I just got my E90 back today after a month at the bodyshop it's Silverstone II and after seeing it again makes me want it again. It's such a good color. Gonna tough it out though and get YMB

Tonymiabmw · 02-21-2014, 05:41 PM

Hard not to like it, doesn't even have a CF roof and looks good.

I would have considered full leather if they did not package it together with manual rear sunshade. For some reason, idea of having sun shade in my sport sedan bothers me

SS interior would look horrible with AW exterior IMO. I currently have AW/Coral Red 335is. I considered AW/SO for F80, I really want to try different color as my previous 135i was AW, too.
I do feel that YMB will be very unique. No matter what other say, it will stand out in the crowd in a good way with its sexy and muscular fender line.

I saw SSII e90 M3 on the street while ago.
I am not really fan of this color when it gives slight blue-ish tone.
I would rather have it stay true to silver color.

Mr T · 02-22-2014, 04:32 AM

I am off to the Geneva Motorshow in a couple of weeks time to see the car "in the flesh" but from what I have seen so far the M3 looks more special in relation to the standard model.
