Australian M3/M4
Ok I'm surprised there has not been any action on this sub forum. Where are all the M3/M4s in Australia? Or are as just all waiting for others to start posting? I picked mine up in late July, but haven't driven it as much as I would like to. So far it's been a delight and does everything pretty well. I won't be making this a regular track car but i will try it out on the track once at least. Here are some pics of mine. Start posting about your M3/M4s!

My wife has a black/black M4 which we have had for 3 weeks now. She loves the car. i have only driven it a little at this stage, but am really liking it.
We will be taking it out to SMSP (Eastern Creek) in September for a run where we will both drive it, so I will have a better feel for the car after that. I think there are still very few around, I haven't seen another one on the road yet Robbo |

Am I dreaming or is it ridiculous money for an m3 in aus vs US? I can't remember but I thought I read how it was like 2x the price vs US.
If that's true maybe it limits the market much more and you see less on the street. |

Well we pay anywhere from $170+to $190+ depending on model and spec. So no, not twice. Closer to 3 times.

Had my E92 M3 in at the same time last week. That is here I saw the M4, cool number plate! The boys at City Performance across the road have done all my performance upgrades. Enjoy the skiing!

Robbo, isn't Ozi Cosi owner Terry who used to run a MCS? I'm talking like 12 years ago when I had my R53. |

He mentioned to me that he enjoyed racing his mini. I drove the M3 and M4 at Eastern Creek a few weeks ago. The torque is just amazing and the finish of the car is certainly a step above from the E92. When will you be picking up your M4?

Car looks awesome WAY.
I love the blue. USA gets the cheapest cars in the world though. Also not completely comparable as Average full time wage AUS = $72,800 (median = $57,400)* Average full time wage USA = $42,500 (median = $27,500)* That said we still get gouged. *may not be 100% accurate. |

Nugget is right in that our average wage is higher. However he failed to mention that our tax rates are higher and housing cost is much higher also here. So back to square one.

I actually really like the colour. What I don't like is that it changes colour to a duller colour when not in natural light. But it looks fantastic in natural light.

Looks good Way and have to agree that out in natural light it really stands out.
My MW M3 arrives in Brissy this Thursday so hopefully should get my hands on it late the following week. I was a little disappointed the black wheels were not completely black so I went with the standard silver / grey wheels other that that i ticked full leather, hud, LEDs, driver assit, park assit (only for resale as I would never trust it or use it), sun glazing glass, freedom pack, sun shade on rear and back windows .... Think that's about it. |
