ahh i see, thank you.

the 6mt is always there within me just waiting, calling me to come back but it's tough counting the cost of surrendering the lexus reliability in the long term.

DCTs arent as reliable as ATs, ferraris and BMWs have some problems with theirs. Even the Z06 and vette are getting a 8AT not DCT. Good enough for DD and occasional tracking

You cannot judge the cars from those PS pictures, especially the interior. Just sit in a M4 cabrio, exact color as OP's picture. Anything inside not covered by extended leather are just hard plastic from regular 3 serial, even the quality of those leather on the wheel/ seats/door/hand brake is just OK.

The traditional M3/4 golden paint looks great though.

What really impressed me is the clean engine bay of M4!

RC F was locked up. I couldn't see/feel the interior. I would say the exterior looks more premium the M3/4, tho I don't think the white is best color for a show car.

looks great, and what an attractive profile. Quick glance makes me think Maserati GranTurismo

Can't wait to see it in darker colors, with the chrome around the windows blacked out.

man the RC-F is one angry looking beast. I think everyone I have talked to agrees that the 4 series is too boring and too much like a normal BMW. That is not a good thing imo. RC-F just destroys it.
opefully the dynamics are good enough to destroy the M4 in every department!

M3/M4 shouldve looked meaner like the M235 or M6 with big gaping grilles, but instead they just look squished for some reason. When getting a car in this category it needs to look unpolite because thats what it is.

I agree here - the meaner the better

RC-F looks bad *** in these pics. The butt pic sold me on the RC-F. Now, they only have to price it right.

Yes Lexus did awesome job on this thing , only thing is with the turbocharged in line 6 I feel it will be easy to get 100extra hp relatively cheap to make them even quicker, but the v8 thunder just sounds so much better.

This will be a challenge to watch for.

i heard though BMW encrypted the new M3/M4 ECU because of all the issues with people on the 335 damaging the motor. Correct me if I'm wrong
