Buying a used BMW M4 competition
Hello, I am looking at my local second hand market for a G8 M4 competition. (Please bare in mind the below comments are for EU and stock is not large for such cars on second hand market.)
Unlike the majority it seems, I actually love the looks of this model and have always wanted to join the BMW gang. However, having never owned a BMW and especially such an expensive car (my only car to date was a 1.4L VW) I wanted to ask for some tips on what to look out for when searching for a G82.
I have already test driven a 4wd version and I absolutely loved it. The owner changed the normal grill to a CS grill (which I personally love), and the interior is the pre face lift without the humangous screens (which again is my ideal spec). The car has under 40k Km and felt amazing to drive. Only thing I noticed was brake squeaking. He told me the brakes are normal, not ceramic. Is this normal?
Another thing of note, is that the owner mentioned he turned off lane assist being always on by default in the software. I would really appreciate it if you can recommend some tips or extras to look out for (either to have or avoid) for this spec of car. I plan to take it to BMW for a car/mechanic check up.
Thank you and sorry for long post!
TL:DR. Buying my first expensive car. What to look out for or avoid on a G82.
