Does your Motorplan still stand after the mods?

What mods? :rollsmile: Shhhhh we don't speak of mods in the same sentence as motorplan :rollsmile:
On a serious note though, each dealership is different, some of them are very anti mods and some of them are a little less concerned. The JB4 will be removed before each service though just to be safe...it takes about an hour done in my garage.

As an example, I tried doing my run in service (1200km) at a dealership here in KZN and they refused to touch the car because of the H&R Springs (the JB4 hadn't even been done yet)...I thought this was a little ridiculous TBH...but I guess rules are rules...I didn't make a fuss of it...I simply booked my car into another dealership for the very next day and they didn't give me a single hassle. The dealership that refused to do my service had been servicing my previous M3 for 3 years, and that M3 also had springs and yet they didn't say a thing....so I guess it all comes down to the service manager's mood on the day.... :coolShake:

Congrats, the stance looks awesome with lowered springs.

I know fuel consumption figures is pointless on ///M cars but I'm curious to find out what you getting and is it better than your previous E92 M3.

The car is looking absolutely amazing (very very tasteful) ... Well done. Has there been any issues regarding build that has cropped up in your 5000km so far ?

My M4 Convertible consumption is better than my E93 335i. On paper, BMW claims M4 = 8.7l/100km vs 335 DCT = 9.5l/100km. In reality, M4 gives me less than 10l/100kms vs 335i's 11.5l/100kms. Driving hard, M4 I get combined 14l/100kms vs 335i's 16.5l/100kms.

I would be interesting to see M4 Coupe's figures.

Thanks guys! At the moment I'm getting around 12l/100km with very spirited driving...and it seems to be coming down...compared to my old E92 its a moderate improvement as I was getting around 14l/100km.

Hi guys!

Just wanted to give you guys a quick update of my car again. I fitted the M-performance lip and carbon fibre front splitters...I colour coded the lip to finish off the bottom as I found the unpainted lip left the front end "hollow".

Let me know what you all think! :coolShake:
