That invariably meant that I had many hours at my disposal to browse for cars on the internet, albeit the only work that was sacrificed on this occasion was DIY and decorating! After some consideration, and a chat with my Dad (because that’s what us guys do), I had set my sights on an M4 Competition in San Marino Blue with a light interior, and full carbon. There were two of these for sale in the UK at the end of May, although one was lower mileage and higher spec with an Individual Opal White extended leather interior, Advanced Parking, Icon Adaptive LED Headlights, Heads Up Display, Leather Dash, Individual Piano Black interior trim, and just 3,700 miles on the clock. It had an eye watering new RRP of over £70K, but at 11 months old it had thankfully lost a sizable chunk of this, and although over my budget it ticked all the boxes; I just had to have it! So a deal was done, and as of June 6th I have been the proud owner of this 444bhp monster, some 123 more than my previous M3. I work in the motor trade and as a result have been no stranger to fast, exciting, and surefooted cars on the road. This however is something else!

its legs on some of the fantastic driving roads we have up here before the winter comes. I have no plans for now for any modifications but who knows what may happen once it’s out of warranty. The biggest problem I am having currently, however, is two-fold; firstly I can’t stop grinning when I am behind the wheel, as the whole driving experience is so completely engaging, and the Heads Up Display is a particular novelty which I love. Secondly, I find myself almost falling over things as I walk away from the car having parked up, as I am too busy looking back at it in awe of its stance and presence; it’s a pretty thing! Needless to say I think I have made no mistakes here, and I am 100% M
