BMW M4 F82 owner first drive and first impressions

[@Row7onHD]

Nick you're a genuine legend! Sincerely, 19 year old car lover from the UK!

[@oDiProductions]

Nick, thank you for sharing your experience AND your wonderful personality

[@ReidG_RN]

Congrats on the new car, Nick! It's beautiful! As far as the colors go, I think you made a fantastic choice. It really makes the M4 stand out from any other 3 or 4 series BMW. Can't wait to see more videos on it!

[@NickMurray]

Thanks dude, always great to hear from you.

[@ReidG_RN]

Thank you, sir! You as well!

[@DONNYBOYY28]

Nick Murray hope you didn't get that car from bmw greenwich there service department is a joke... make sure they take good pictures of the car so when they damage it you have the picture proof to back up your cliams

[@drxvms]

you are witnessing the rare sight of a bmw driver using turn signals

[@TheJoeMB]

This is a drop dead gorgeous M4, the colour is spot on. Enjoy your new pride and joy.

[@c3vzn]

The flashing airbag light would've pissed me off. I'd have driven right back to the dealer, especially with your history!

[@drheadshot12]

That is an awesome car congratulations on that one. Just picked my 435i with M sport package last week and I absolutely love it.

[@jshaw6600]

Listening to you accelerating made me change my mind about the noise being piped in. Sounds very realistic. It actually sounds good and doesn't sound as fake as I thought it would.

[@johnh4895]

having watched the videos and seeing how you pick things out with the car - it's a great approach..there's a genuine view on how things work...nice one

[@mcolegt]

Great review, I've watched it twice now because honestly there isn't a better review out there, so thanks!

[@KevinsChili]

Hey nick! Loved your video as always! I could totally see that little new car smile on your face the whole time!

[@comtruise3150]

Your happiness in the intro made me happy. Good luck with this one.

[@eliwrasman]

Wow this was the best car review that I've seen in a while!

[@Ahoyhoy96]

Love your personality Nick ! Your videos are always entertaining to watch. Enjoy the car.

[@Ekim2411]

I've watched most of your videos about M4.....great videos! Now I want to get an M4!

[@colinsmith1176]

You made the right choice with the color. The orange looks awesome.

[@Lar308]

Congrats with the new BMW. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it. Love the dog too.

[@lispfree405]

Picked up mine around end of June, Austin Yellow's pretty stunning. 3000 mile's in so far, just about my favorite car. I've a 458, a 12C, M6 Gran Coupe, F10 M5, X6 M... whatever, the F82's my all time favorite car.

[@MrGoldrush13]

Hi Nick I've been following your channel since stumbling across the Porsche incident, and I have to say that if I'd picked up a brand new BMW and there was a red flashing light the second I left the dealership, I'd be bloody livid! We just collected our first ever family car on Monday (sapphire black Volvo V40 Cross Country Powershift LX with dual colour leather interior) and I'm really chuffed with it. I realise that doesn't compare to a car like yours but the feeling was still incredible, and as they say, 'from small acorns...' I look forward to your next video...

[@WarHammer1911A1]

I usually hate red/orange colors, but even through youtube, that looks stunning.

[@Sebbe40]

Fantastic car, I was in Istanbul for the launch and had a go around the F1 circuit and it's so solid and powerful!

[@Multi2G4u]

a true German fan. owned an audi, a 911, and bmws. I seen this m4 with that baby blue and it looks really nice.

[@FSAviators]

I have been binge watching your videos for the past few dasy Nick. It all started when I googled Porsche 911 user review! Suffice to say that led me to this whole rabbit hole of cars, helicopters and awesome dogs :) Subscribed!

[@seandoc97]

MANY MANY CONGRATS! I cannot wait to get mine and share as well!

[@102lammy]

My dream car! Really hope you love the car more as you drive it for longer and looking forward to your future vids on this car. Great vid :)

[@stephenchamberlain1507]

i know your m4 has gone but there great vids just to watch over again,i have a austin yellow m4,only had it a yr now and still love it and still find bits and bobs to fiddle with ,,

[@rikardoramos2418]

congratulations for the new car; Thanks for the video Nick, I'm a fan of your channel Good luck with it

[@findtomdotcom]

Congrats on the new car Nick. I took an M4 for a drive a few weeks ago..... I wasn't blown away. The noise was the biggest shock, or lack of (compared to the V8). Loved the interior and particularly the HUD! Not sure I would have one over a 911.......

[@juanmj93]

Congrats Nick, nice to see the car finally, now I'm gonna weep silently in my corner.

[@WillGuizzo]

Very nice video, really transmits the feeling of excitement that must be driving one of these beauties!

[@davidrbibo]

Beautiful car man! Just got an F32 myself but an F82 would be a dream!

[@wishdj]

I am not much of a BMW fan but I have to admit that this car looks absolutely stunning particularly in that colour. Great colour choice makes the M4 look even better. Hope you have much better luck with this machine then you had with the 911.

[@mingfengyang]

I'm so happy to see you in your new M4. Give us more reviews on your new car. thx Nick!

[@dylanshiffer5799]

Must have just missed you, Nick! The turn from the connector to 95 is my race car driver moment of the day on the way home from work!

[@TheGetawayer]

So good to see you in a new car, Nick ! I have my struggles with BMW but that sure is a great looking car you got yourself. I could see you in an i8, what about that ? :)

[@NickMurray]

Yes I am really interested to see the i8. Let me know when you are next in the US!

[@jonathanvanelli]

Best of luck with new car, great color too by the way keep the videos coming!

[@fasterglock2997]

What a gem. Congratulations!

[@Excalibur_86]

congratz on the M4, it's a beauty!

[@GT86crazy]

You're like a kid on Christmas morning! Really jealous. Enjoy your new toy mate. Greetings from NZ

[@MisterInconnito]

Hey, Airbag light came on to warn you that the Passenger airbag wasn't active even though it's detecting some weight due to the stuff you put on the seat. Just a precaution especially for when you have kids sitting in the front seat.

[@obd]

Saw an M3 F80 on the road the other day, looked really good in person, great choice on the M4.

[@brianmenda1898]

Nick Murray That whining noise when coming to a stop is actually the rough finish on the steel brake rotors. If you look at the rotors, you'll see swirl lines, and they're actually etched into the rotors. This helps bed the brake pads in, and the noise will slowly go away as you drive the car. I work at Otto's BMW in West Chester, PA and noticed the same noise on our M3 demo. It now has close to 500 miles on it and the noise is almost gone. The "Efficient Dynamics" only toggles the alternator on and off. There's no separate charger or any actual "brake energy regeneration" going on. If the battery level is above a certain threshold, the alternator turns off under acceleration and when idling and engages under deceleration. As for the noise piped into the cabin, per BMW, only about 3-4% of the noise you hear is coming through the speakers...everything else is real.

[@NickMurray]

Thanks Brain, you know more than anyone at my dealer!

[@yakadee1]

Only part of what you say is correct. According to BMW's website: Power from your brake pedal. With Brake Energy Regeneration, BMW Efficient Dynamics points the way to a more energy-efficient future. As soon as you brake or take your foot off the accelerator, the kinetic energy is captured and fed to the battery. This reduces the amount of power the battery takes from the engine and hence lowers fuel consumption. When the driver presses the accelerator, on the other hand, the alternator is decoupled from the drivetrain. With fewer components drawing power from the drivetrain, more of the engine's output can go into accelerating the car. M4 Brake Energy Regeneration: Every time the brakes are hit, kinetic energy is generated and until recently this energy went unused. Brake Energy Regeneration takes advantage of this long-overlooked potential. It harnesses the coasting energy that is generated whenever the driver brakes or takes his or her foot off the accelerator and turns it into electricity.

[@brianmenda3309]

yakadee1, what I initially explained really is all that is happening. The alternator is the only thing in the car that generates electricity. There are no separate motors in the wheel hubs or on either axle that engage under deceleration. The only BMWs that actually use an electric motor for generation under deceleration are the i3, i8, and the ActiveHybrid lineup. I can guarantee you that this grinding/whining noise he was hearing is long gone by now, because it's just the brake rotors. What BMW describes as brake energy regeneration really just is the intelligent engaging and disengaging of the alternator based on acceleration/deceleration/battery state of charge/current draw from car electronics/ etc., and every car with an internal combustion engine in BMW's lineup does this.

[@keyzer2011]

Ah glad to see you back in a BMW! It'll be interesting to hear your E92 > 991 > F82 ownership comparisons. Hopefully some more on how the interior fit and finish holds up to the Porsche interior and the E92. Good luck!

[@jaeshim8261]

E90 M3 owner here I've been enjoying ur videos, didn't know u went into the new M4, thought you were getting another 911... but damn that airbag...with all the Porsche story too, you must have something with new cars...lol i'd be so mad if my new M3 had flashing airbag sign on my first drive... hopefully it isn't something bad, enjoy ur M4

[@rideredallday]

Probably my favorite KZbin channel. Keep it up!

[@NickMurray]

rideredallday Thank you. Glad you enjoy the channel

[@rickytomatoes]

Great video and great detail, as always! Where's that intro/outro music from?

[@RodneyThomas]

Beautiful. I own a 435i, love it - I'm sure that M4 must be a very fun drive!

[@ita1iasta11i0n]

Cant wait to see what you get for the winter time!

[@mattxr6t]

Glad to see you got it sorted mate. The BM looks like a very nice machine. Good choice on the Red too, it's different from what you normally see, especially here in Aus where everything is Black or Silver! But did notice no sunroof mate!

[@mattkim85]

BEAUtiful color combo! Great review, sir.

[@Crana]

You're a really patient guy, I'd have gone mad at the dealer if my brand spanking new car had a flashing warning light. What if you had crashed and none of the air bags deployed?

[@opiumized]

You do realize that during pdi that light probably wasn't on and it isn't the dealers fault right? The dealer didn't make the car. That dealership is also one of the only three time center of excellence dealers in the usa

[@marinoint]

Thanks a lot for another great video! Love hearing your honest opinions on cars.

[@adriane6943]

Congrats on the Beamer nick! Can't wait to see more about it!

[@Raditram]

here we go again... day 1: airbag light keeps on flashing, day 30: I got a new car again hahaha

[@ayrtonatif572]

Congratz Nick enjoy this beauty. You are a lucky guy :).

[@Dgannt]

Great car and that color choice and match worked just fine. Looks great from all angles parked like that.

[@pepito060666]

Wow such a beautiful car great color and I also like the engine sound , enjoy your new beautiful car.

[@JackCornel]

You actually make me want a M4 before if it wasn't a M5 or M6 I didn't care, but after your fun review I'm a fan, I will definitely stay subscribed 👍btw I would have done the review the exact same way, nothing wrong with opening it up!

[@xxBoilerMakerxx]

Love the review's Nick. I'm curious if we'll see a reappearance of the Zerg logo from your 911? ;) I'd love to hear more about the differences between the M4 and your previous Carrera S. What do you like about this car more, what do you like less? Specifically, how does it feel to wake up and walk up to the car? Did you get more excited about driving a 911S? Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe says the new M4 "wouldn't get a looking" beside the new Cayman GTS (Porsche Cayman GTS review: motoring nirvana for £55k). Is there a reason you didn't choose the Cayman? Awaiting your next video!

[@skylarlinden945]

That sound you heard when coming to a stop the first few times was probably the turbo spooling down.

[@ValdisVitols]

Congrats! Thank you for the video. How do you feel about the engine sound being replicated through the car speaker system? (Active Sound technology in the M3/M4)

[@nowornever81]

Congrats Nick!, this flashing light pissed me off though, I would call the guy who was supposed to introduce you to the car to fix it right away!

[@Atillan]

Truly awesome car, Im more and more in love with this M4

[@Sootytr]

Great video as always Nick, really enjoyed the E30 review also

[@shaynumclaynum]

Nick, I'm glued to your channel now! I've got an M4 coming in 4 weeks. Slightly terrified and mostly excited. Need to know what's going on with your M4. Like the colour, strong choice.

[@CamMead]

very nice i think you picked the best colour for sure.. what a beast of a car

[@saramhanif5295]

Wow these newer BMWs are gorgeous. I never really liked them too much but these new ones are sexxxxy.

[@clock959]

Congrats Nick! hopefully this one won't turn out to be a lemon

[@NickMurray]

Lets hope : )

[@clock959]

How does the steering/handling feel compared to that of your previous e92

[@techdude6693]

Congrats! Its Quite a Beauty. I love the LED Headlights these have too BTW

[@rafaellesaguis8875]

That looks bloody gorgeous!! Congratulations! 👍

[@azlanalijinnah]

Good on you mate! Love the car and the video! keep em coming

[@AmerykanskiGracz]

Congratulations Nick!

[@mrmusic1880]

The best object you ever owned👌

[@The_Ultimate_Driver]

Nick, love the color combo! Cheers!

[@alanfernandez9811]

I think it looks better in that yellow color....beautiful car congratulations

[@mamatalka2me]

As predicted regarding the sound. Nice review, congrats!

[@georgebarahona9615]

Hey love your videos man! I have a random off topic question what brought you to the US? Just wondering since you're from Zealand.

[@andylie7699]

Wow! Looks fantastic in that red!!

[@MrAbdulENG]

Great review nick looking forward to seeing your next review

[@smoshfan47]

Amazing car Nick congrats. I love the color !

[@gregorynie8051]

btw that wirring sound you first heard when you pulled to the lights is the brakes they have to break in

[@brandonjolley8806]

Congrats! love the color combo.

[@daineseboy78]

hey Nick love the new wheels! Grouse colour too. Hopefully the issues that plagued your old car don't follow you!

[@Tomskii5]

Uhm nick, easy on the run-in period of your car imo :P. As for that red blinking light, couldn't that be that the passenger airbag is turned off? Usually you can check that somewhere in the door or near the door of the passenger, and if set to off you can use your key to turn it.

[@NerdonWheels]

Must have been such an incredible moment

[@DanMosqueda]

Nick, well done. Did you have the chance to have any passengers in the back seat?

[@kattlikzm]

Im thinking of buying the new f82 m4 next year. Please keep us updated on troubles and faults etc. Edit: Also: Did you have any major issues with the e92 m3? I´m just curious.

[@mrlonaghen]

Nick watching this old school video Time flies Do you miss the M??? I got a M4 Convertible and absolutely love this car how your good mate

[@RRubecula]

Really nice car! I just subscribed while I also followed the story around the Porsche closely. However I have a question regarding the break-in period. Within the first 1000km of driving you're not supposed to go above 3000rpm right? How does that work with automatics? Do they limit themselves or is it possible to set a rev-limit before they change? It seemed you did go over 3000rpm, but I couldn't see it in the video. I don't want to bee splitting hairs here (if I use the saying right), but I always thought the break-in period was always very important. I never bought a new car though.

[@Talon276]

Congratulations Nick! Keep the throttle in sport plus. This is what happens when you get far in life guys, you get to spend your money on nice stuff. f**k you haters.

[@jameslove31]

Great video! Love the review and entertaining commentary:)

[@brrrrrzzzzzzz]

Very good choice. Have fun with this beautiful M4! Greetings from Germany :)

[@rodriguezahr]

Hi Nick,I'm considering white interior on my next BMW and thought you're the best person to ask about color maintenance. Was it too hard to keep clean "white"?:-)

[@GEB128]

Perfect color combo.

[@auditt2007]

Great video, have been watching them for some time. Did you order your M4 without test driving a F80/F82 before? If not, were you comfortable paying for a car you didn't know you'd like or not?

[@R.I100]

Love the Car, color and the dog..... great choices....

[@Toesucker242002]

Nice car and congratulations on your 2015 BMW

[@spotshooter1]

Congrats on the new M4! I just bought a Cayman, based partially on your review video.

[@NickMurray]

Oh nice. The Cayman is one under rated car that is for sure. You will love it I have no doubt.

[@Naglfar]

Car looks fantastic, love the colour.

[@ScottyRobinsino]

My perfect mods for this car: Stock sized rims using the stock tires(M4's have such fine handling geometry that I want the stock tires), front lip, rear spoiler, a mod that allows me to watch top gear on the screen in a true sports car in surround sound(can bmw apps do that? netflix on the bmw apps internet browser maybe?)....and then a button that temporarily closes the boost valves so you can retain that stock M4ness but have a little power boost button when you're sure you can lay the lay the power. 450hp is a fine line with power. bringing it to a permanent 550hp would likely reduce the lap times.
