Buying Tips for the BMW M4

  • Assume any M4 may have been mapped unless you can prove otherwise
  • Inspect carbon-ceramic brakes very carefully because replacement costs are enormous
  • On convertibles, make sure the roof cycle is smooth and the cabin is dry
  • Check rear tyres, alignment, and differential behaviour before you trust the car
