Shes' Here! 1st Avus Blue M4 in the USA

sandjam · 05-29-2016, 12:40 PM

After 4 long months my M4 made it to me on Friday, right in time for the holiday weekend. All I can say is I'm blown away by this car. I have had a lot of cars, but this car is a joy to drive and what a blast!

Here are a bunch of pics. If you were on the fence about this color, this should eliminate any doubts. Its unbelievable in person and changes in color depending on the light.

Already got my escort 9500 radar head and ALP laser sensor installed (did them while I had the grills out and was swapping for the gloss black ones.

Only disappointment was it came with Conti's, instead of Michelins, but I guess I have an excuse to burn them off, haha.

Also, just to confirm from another thread that was asking if the interior side of the sheet metal, like in the engine bay, etc was clear coated. It's all clear coated on mine.

Got to get my coding done, some of the standard settings BMW does drives you nuts.

Enjoy

Nice ride, love the color! how was your experience with Union Park? I was just there visiting their new reopening of the showroom looking for an M3, no luck but also they couldn't get me an ETA even on an order

btw, that's the high school I went to haha

There were fantastic. Did everything right, listened to me. No backroom deals just straight up pricing and dealing. Kept me informed on every step. Showed me all the numbers including the invoice.

They are a whole new crew there. I think they cleaned house. They did a complete change. I bought from them 3 years ago and all the guys that were there before are gone now. Highly recommend them.

Not a fan of the striped grille though, but that's just me.

They are just vinyl stripes, easily removed. Still up in air about them too.
