Montreal, Canada

Not completely new here..., purchased the car earlier this fall after 20yrs of BMW M car ownership. I have to say that I absolutely love this car as I was looking for a more analog experience, which the Emira delivers on!

I have previously owned a G82 M4 XDrive Competition, F82 M4 Competition, E92 M3. Most recently, I owned the G82 for 3yrs, such a capable car while being very practical at the same time (I do a few track days every year). However, from the day I got it, I found this latest M4 generation to be big, insulated car (electric steering, fake interior sound, etc.). Like most modern cars, BMW has diluted the experience/fun factor over the years for technology and performance. Car felt very planted but below 150 Km/hr or 6,000 RPM, there isn't much emotions...

The Emira generates smiles at any speed for the drivers and onlookers!

Congrats and welcome to ownership! I've owned a couple BMWs (one manual) and found them to not very engaging. Fast and pretty, but I didn't really enjoy driving either.

I drove up to Montreal for a week or so last year and really enjoyed our time there! What track do you go to?

We are lucky in Montreal to have access (1h30-2h away) to Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant. A well kept secret, home of Canadian F1 in 1968 and 1970. It was owned by Lawrence Stroll for many years who injected $$ in restoration.

She is a beaut, Shadow Grey is rare and works great with Tan - classy spec! I'm 17,000 miles in after nearly 3 years and still in love with mine - enjoy many happy miles.
