What's better than autocrossing? Autocrossing someone else's car, especially a new BMW G30 5 Series.

The Ultimate Driving Machine. Indeed.

Checked out Malibu Cars and Coffee at Trancas Country Market as every LA car enthusiast does every first Sunday of the month.  Here are some photos...

BMW 2002 vs M4.

Modify This: BMW M Performance and Lightweight for the BMW M4

/ European Auto Source/

I think the BMW M4 is already a very good car from the factory, especially with the Competition Package.  My whole goal for the car is to tastefully modify it, while keeping it as stock as possible, I wanted to add a few mods to make it mine and distinguish it from other M4's.

Looking good at magic hour.

Stringer going under the knife.

I added the BMW M Performance side blades and Lightweight front lip.  It goes well with the M Performance carbon fiber rear spoiler and mirror caps that's already on the car.

Now the question is should I call it day here or add the M Performance rear diffuser?  Hmmm...

Cars & Thoughts: Three Reasons why the BMW M4 Competition is the Perfect Daily Driver

/

Here are three practical (and sarcastic) reasons why I think the BMW M4 Competition is the perfect daily driver.

1 - Family friendly and kid approved.

2 - Lots of trunk space for that weekend getaway.

3 - And it's just fun to drive!

In all seriousness, the BMW M4 is a great daily driver. A proper, real review will be coming soon.
