BMW M4 Competition

Congrats.

Unfortunately things feel "dated" fast now because how much any kind of product wants to be pushed out. Been shopping a couple cars and it's like I need a mid-life example because of the updates in between being more worthwhile.

Ironically a car that seems to withstand the test of time at least in terms of interior IMO is the Honda Civic. It's crazy that had Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in like 2016 and I can't even get in a high end Lexus until now.

The F82 somewhat feels dated, at least to me, not because of the motor, transmission, or anything drivetrain related, but primarily because of the interior. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't feel cheap in any way. In fact, the Competition seats are stunning and the Merino leather extremely supple. However, having owned a '16 and '18 F30, the interior layout simply feels inferior, and dare I say, a bit low-rent compared to the C63 AMG and to a much lesser extent, the RS5. Maybe it's just an issue of familiarity interior-wise. Fortunately, the similarities end with the dash as the M4 ZCP feels quicker than its advertised 444 hp. F8X aftermarket parts are not much more expensive compared to the Z either, so that's another plus.

Oh dang you've been to the future already.

Nonetheless, confident you'll enjoy it otherwise.
