It can be a touch stiff when very cold, but then that’s nothing that can’t be sorted by 2 minutes of seat heating. Never had a problem with leather in any car in the summer, even when I’ve left the roof off all day in the sun.
For me the biggest issue in summer is that the cars an oven, my m3 has the red leather (novilo fox?). I wouldn't say it's too hot or to cold. Can be a tad sweaty, but I suspect that due to them being a bit bucket seat like.

Step dad text me to say he's just bought an 18 plate M4 comp, had a look at the specs and doesn't seem bad. Someone's also stuck the M performance steering wheel on afterwards with all the flashing lights :)

Looking forward to having a go in it at somepoint in the future, my vague recollection of an M3 test drive before I bought my RS3 was that I wasn't blown away but put that down to the test drive being a bit awkward more than anything.

I’ve noticed a bunch of BMW franchises selling Cazoo cars with a warranty

eg

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104151407592

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202102229352298

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104141349365

the giveaway is the use of the same turntable and all of the nav images show the cars in Cazoo preparation centre in corby (Weldon south industrial estate).

Any thoughts on this? To be avoided? Does it expose how much of a con buying AUC is?

The other take of course is not to worry about it, AUC is AUC and they’ll have been buying from BCA since before time began. I think the lazy nature of the adverts puts me off

That 540i looks lovely.

M4 will be a lot more fun once you get it moving, don't bother looking for a blistering traffic lights grand prix 0-60 :p

Yup I’d imagine it’s a lot more fun and a far better drivers car.

Hopefully won’t have to wait too long to get the keys for a bit...

That F82 is brilliant.

I've seen a few brand new M4 Comp's already. They do look way better in the flesh - something almost everyone says now. I think it'll grow on people.

It'll grow on people like the E60 did. IE people get used to it. It'll still look rubbish just like the E60 always did.

It's just so unnecessary, it's based on the 3 series which looks fantastic, why did they do it?

If you want both to grow on you at once, feel free to reach out to this team. (caution: vomit inducing).
