In video form, no.

In fact, there hasn't been a video from Chris Harris about ANY car for many, many weeks. I've tried to find out why but to no avail. Something has definitely changed with regards the "Drive" channel. I did suspect they're trying to make it a conventional TV show like Top Gear and therefore are refraining from posting Chris Harris content online. /DRIVE on NBC debuted on 24th May, last month, their first foray into mainstream television.

5 reasons BMW nuts should respect the 2015 M3 and M4


1. BMW went over budget on steering
2. The F8x chassis is incredibly stiff and lighter than the E9x
3. Don't replace your Michelin Super Sports with cheap tires
4. Not twin-scroll, twin-turbo
5. The weakness of this car is NVH

They are in U.S. dealerships now...

Are they? I hope my local one has it. I have to take my car in for service and I'd love to check it out in person.

This is what the winner gets if they win the Moto GP this year.

Not like the winner can't afford one. Haha. But that's a really nice color. What is it?

#3 isn't necessarily a good thing. Because those pilot sports don't last very long. Not to mention what about those who live in places where you might need winter tires?

It's all 'bout the money...
That fat guy and other losers from Drive get paid the same, yet they make 20k views on YT vs a million for Chris. Little weird..

What is it?

A BMW. An M4 to be more specific.

 

[Soup]

Is it possible to have the performance index and the laptime page, just like for the Jaguar ?

 

[DblPen]

what color is that red m4???

 

[Betty Swollocks]

what color is that red m4???

Sakhir Orange.

 

[NarutoRamen]

^^ Just came back from my local dealership. Saw M4 with the same color in the back going through it's preparation to be put out onto the showroom floor. It's such a beautiful color. Too bad I couldn't take a pic since it was bad lighting and most things were covered in plastic.

 

[DblPen]

Sakhir Orange.

This is sakhir orange, that other m4 seems more "red" to me.
It could be lighting though.

 

[Mr Robert]

I don't know, Sakhir can look rather red in certain lights.

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Looking at the M4 Visualizer, the only color available that is remotely close is Sakhir Orange. I don't believe BMW Individual customization is yet available for the BMW M3/4, and considering these folks must have placed their order very early, it would have to be a standard color. So Sakhir Orange seems correct.

Sakhir Orange during production:

[DblPen]

it seems that it depends on the lighting alot

 

[Beemer B773ER]

What a great color though!

Yup, spot on. It's Sahkir Orange, no debate possible. It looks different indoors.

Having just got back from the Goodwood Festival of Speed this evening, where that Sakhir Convertible above was photographed, I can tell you that in real life Sakhir looks nothing like that photo. Not of the cabrio or the coupe in post #810. If anything the most accurate photo IS that group shot from above at BMW Welt.

I will post my thoughts, photos and videos from Goodwood as soon as I can, but I was very happy to hear the M3/M4 in real life for the first time today, including the M performance exhaust too. They had no less than five different examples climbing the hill ALL day.
