Anyone move up from 435i to m4?

So like the title says, has anyone moved up from a 435i to a m4?

I purchased a 2014 435i in April of last year and at first loved every minute of it. But I'm seeing more and more M4s in town and it seems like I'm getting an itch to get into a m4 and trade in my current car. The m4 seems more visceral with its louder exhaust, steering feel and power.

Just wanted to get some feedback and see what some Canadian members think in comparison of the 435i to the m4? The price of a m4 is around 93k so I know there is a financial hit and I'm trying to reason if it's worth it.

You know you're on an M3/M4 forum right? There's only one answer whether it's worth it.

Worth it just by seeing my buddies facial reaction whenever he sees my M4... he has a 435i with wheels and carbon parts but does NO justice

You're going to take a massive hit on the 435. If you can afford to throw away money, then its worth it. Otherwise I'd wait a couple of years, drive your 435, then get the LCI and competition package M4.

It's been 3 weeks since I took delivery of my M4 and I traded in a 2014 335ix with full M Performance (including MPPK, exhaust and adaptive suspension) that I bough in Feb 2014. You can't even compare the two cars. The 335 M Perf was a nice car but the M4 is next level. The power is insane. The stock exhaust on the M4 sounds much better than M Perf on the 335, and gone is the soft steering and soft suspension. I love that you can individually change all the settings to suit your driving style vs only being able to choose between the 4 pre set settings. Oh and the stance of the M4 is so bad ass!

I took a small hit ($5k) but worth every penny.

Sorry 😉
