What's the difference between this one to others then mate? I'm new to the BMW world and I've enquired about this one.

Sorry for the late reply but very basically there is some high gloss bits on the outside, 20bhp more to 450bhp in the engine and some fancy seats iirc but please do your own homework or ask @ColinG for a full proper list.
I would definitely go for the M2. Perhaps a different price range but I prefer the looks of the M2 and also I would've thought they are more involving/fun to drive, as they are smaller. Havn't drove either so I could be completely wrong, but that's my opinion.

I know people didn't seem to like it when it was mentioned on a different thread, but there's always the RS3 saloon, which I personally think is better! Which is weird because I'm a hot hatch guy through and through...

The RS3 does sound better than the M4 imo. But I think the S55 engine in the F82 -M4 sounds very poor. The M4 will be more fun to drive though RWD- AWD every time.

Id have the RS3 because I'm a man child and love the noise.
Its a tough one though the M4 is a stunning looking car.

2 very different cars, like completely different so it entirely depends on what works for you.
I think the M4 is more impressive however, it would be annoying to live with, England is wet and damp a lot, it has tight roads and the M4 will just be painful most of the time. RS3 everytime for me personally, although I do see the hype of the M4.
Edit: And try and get the black optics pack as the silver trims looks awful and if budget allows, get the facelift with virtual cockpit, it will make you happy to drill in that amount of money on a car. Although for that budget, you may have to go for the pre-facelift.

A little bit over budget but I'm reserving this one in the morning

RS3 saloon or don't bother with the RS3 at all IMO. Ugly rear end. M4 is a great all round car.

Ive always been an M3 fan,but then i do like the RS audi’s.
Spotted an RS3 when i was in the lakes,shame there a five door and would be so much better as a 3 door i think.

Agree, that's why I prefer the saloon... 5 doors just look too much on the hatch.
Sorry for lack of response guys, been crazy busy! And having loads of fun!
So I picked it up last Wednesday and I must say, what a machine! I can't explain how nice it is, just everything feels so premium. You really can tell that it's technically a £60k+ car.
So it has most of the optional extra's, Harmon Karmon sound, Head's up display, Carbon interior, Carbon rear diffuser, DCT gearbox etc. The only thing it doesn't really have is the rear spoiler, front splitter and reversing camera. I'm definitely getting a rear spoiler though, not too fussed about the other bits. I paid £34,900 and it's done 31,000 miles.
On the road it's crazy. RWD is so arse clenching, makes everything so fun I was worried about the sound before buying it but I can honestly say it sounds absolutely incredible, proper throaty and mean. At the end of the day a 3.0 twin turbo never was going to sound too bad

The one in that link just has the competition wheels and isn't a competition pack car, which came in later (2016 iirc)
No mate not me. Car hasn't moved for 3 days 'cause of the snow :smile:
I know mate! Car literally hasn't moved most of the week. It's absolutely dreadful in the snow haha. But still fun

Ahhhh. Had some pellet giving it large to me last night in traffic in one of these because HE was in the wrong lane and beeped me.
