Particulate filters placed in exhaust to reduce emissions. In the past only had to be fitted to diesel cars. Now Europe is requiring petrol cars to run them as well, as of June I believe. M4 now has a steel driveshaft to accommodate new filters.

By far the better review. It's like if the other ones are paid by Bmw to praise the car...

Or don't have a clue what they driving...

All the reviews I ever made, I was extremely judgmental. Many owners loved it because I was factual and said what needed to be said.

PR managers weren't so happy all the time, but at least they knew I wasn't stuck up their ass all the time.

thanks for the review,

Thanks for the great honest review! But I feel I need to hear Chris Harris as well before deciding...

There only seems to be one review mentioning weight? The theme in all the others seems to be on the improved handling and “crazy” increase in power.

I do like the Canadian model with the updated interior and all wheel drive option though.

Yup 100, but then on YouTube on his channel and not as him being a Top Gear presenter.

Thanks @MR. I don't suppose you had the chance to drive one (or know anyone that has) without the M Sport Brakes?

Tag was able to hear the one here in the Chicago burbs (I saw it in person, but didn't hear it) - the US doesn't get the filter, but we DO get the saggy balls muffler can.

I believe Tag said it sounded good in the short time he got to hear it...
