In America and Germany you can still buy a BMW M4 with a manual gearbox, and it could just be one of the great modern M-cars...
This Fire Orange coupe also happens to be my personal epiphany for not only ceasing to care about the brash styling of the M4’s second coming, but genuinely warming to the way it looks. Perhaps it’s the grilles’ piffling size beside those of the Peterbilt trucks roaming Northern California, but I reckon it’s more the full commitment of a lurid colour and lack of front licence plate. With the kidneys allowed their full glory, I think they begin to make sense.
In truth, this is merely a final rubber stamp on the merit sheet. Because the drive up here from Los Angeles was an absolute dream, one that fully vindicated BMW’s decision to forge on with both transmissions. The Pacific Coast Highway should be on all our driving to-do lists, but traverse it on a glorious sunny day and not only will those in front be slowed to tortoise pace by eye-popping ocean views, but you will too. You simply can’t keep your eyes fixed ahead.
The M4’s rev-matching really suits me, too. I’m ashamed to say the March of the Paddleshifters has somewhat stymied my own attempts to nail a universal heel-and-toe technique to fit most road cars, so unless I’m in something with exquisitely positioned pedals, I tend to leave these systems switched on. Especially on previously undriven roads like this, where I might need to grab third or second at a moment’s notice.
