I'm sure you'll get yours soon enough :D (Y)

Imported my Forza 3 profile and got a nice bunch of cars gifted plus 60,000 credits. Had two races and now been throwing my beloved E39 M5 around the Top Gear track, the sound of its' roaring V8 makes me weak at the knees :laugh:

So much automotive bliss, I love you Turn 10 :wub:

Do you have to do anything special to get it. I have a 2003 530i so I'm dying to get an E39 in the game. I also used to have a 1973 AMC Javelin which they have in the game too.

Thats what I mean, if you had slower people you could end up smacking into each other :D which would be fun!

Agreed :D

The Top Gear track is in career mode as I've just found out; one of the events is to knock down pins on the track to gain a certain level of points within one lap.

Nah, it's part of the official car list (not DLC). Fired it up via free play/hot lap and chose the Top Gear track to throw it about.

hey Radish how do you import your Forza 3 profile? maybe i need to look again before asking...

The first time I started it asked me if I wanted to use my Forza 3 profile or create a new one. I had restarted Forza 3 because of a lost hard drive so I didn't get as much as Radish but I got about 20,000 if I remember correctly.

It's like how Ironman273 said, does give you a nice head start if you're already Level 50+ in Forza 3 (Y)

Oh and I freaking love having the Top Gear studio to showcase your garage -

Because I've never done it before.. How do you get your screenshots from your Xbox?

If your upload your screenshots to Forza's storefront via the game, you can login into Forza's website (http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Default.aspx) with your XBL account. You'll see your screenshots and be able to download them.

The rivals mode in this is really well done and addicting. My complaints about the credit XP from playing in F3 is not a problem in this game!

Only complaint is the pre-order RX-7 unicorn which you pick-up in F3 to import into F4 didn't import. I even deleted the F4 save file and restarted.

Been playing the game for a couple of days now. Overall it's good but one thing I hate is start of a race. You're basically given a cut scene with the engine revving, then it goes into the cockpit and you are given about 1 second to get your revs setup for start, way too little time. I usually lose places on the start as don't have enough time to get revs dialed in. This was bad on Forza 3 but I think you've got even less time to do it now on Forza 4.

Play Career > Cars > Change Homespace. You also get the open Top Gear track as a homespace :D I got 60,000CR on importing my Forza 3 profile, which I promptly blew on tuning the E39 M5 with turbochargers and the like :laugh:

I see cues from NFS: Hot Pursuit (2010) (Rivals is kinda like Autolog for competing against others) and PGR4 (cone sprinting) in Forza 4, they are welcome additions (Y)

E39 M5

Well played, Turn 10. You have my money... well, you will. This has been enough to convince me to rent the game tomorrow, if not buy it outright. I imagine there's a lot of fun things that could be done with the E39.

Just buy it, you won't regret it.

I don't wanna buy a wheel just for this game (I use a Driving force GT Lightning for my PC) so my question is; will the xbox joypad be good enough for playing this competitively online?

Yes.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the engine sounds a little.. cheap sounding? I thought they were better in F3.

To me they sound more realistic, if you want to truly appreciate the FM4 sounds go listen to the vacuum cleaner cars from GT5 :p

      Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
