You're machine is probably as much fun.  Top down, sun burning the skin... What more can you ask for?

Isn't the M4 just a pimped Z4?

BMW does that all the time.  I've heard (Don't know if its true) they've actually stopeed selling the M135i because it was TOO good for the price.

Yes, just like my Brabus is a pimped standard Smart Roadster - larger turbo, wider wheels, stiffened suspension, body kit etc. It makes the whole driving experience better, and the car looks more aggressive. I think you'll find most manufacturers have a 'pimping' strategy - Ford emply Cosworth, Mercedes employ AMG and Brabus etc., it's quite usual

In the case of the M-series, it's more than pimping up.  They do not exchange parts with the other models. 

For instance, the 335 has the M-package.  It kinda looks like an M-series (logos, wheel, etc)... but it is far from being one.

You'd certainly notice those differences on the track.  Well... maybe on some odd occasion on the highway.  Going from 80 km/h to 200 km/h in a few seconds is fun.  Gets you ahead of traffic!!  LOL!

Do you watch Top Gear on BBC?

[Thoric]

Whenever I can yes! Jeremy C is a bit of a **bleep**, but they usually have great performances. The latest season saw them searching for the source of the Nile in second hand family estate cars. The double-episode shot and filmed in Africa was a real education

Here we get both the BBC/British version and the US version of Top Gear. Sometimes very amusing! I haven't ridden in his nicer "toy" (why is that Ray? Afraid I'll leave permanent finger imprints on the dash like in your BMW sedan?) but he does like his sporty "Beemers"!

Putnam,  you haven't been in the 335 yet 😉  Much faster than the 325.  LOL!

This summer at Finger Lakes, I'll take you for a spin (before the wine).

No sharp objects on you...

Heard that we had a nesting pair of bald eagles near my home so I stopped by to check it out.  Sorry no fancy telephoto lens.  But a picture of a bald eagle nesting in a sycamore tree on the banks of the Wabash river is just too iconic to pass up.
