This will have to change,

340i and M3 are totally different cars to begin with..
It's not a range topper 3er, its an M3.

Thank you for the info!

Remember that BMW did not include the LED Angel Eyes in the E9x M3 LCI as they did for the E92 3-Series LCI although both shared the same exact headlights.

Or maybe BMW realized yesterday that the Toyota Corolla has LED headlights standard and decides that it is time to put some value in their cars.

Maybe.

No changes to the front of the M3. It has the same front as the M4. The front refresh for both will be next MY.

I haven't trolled in a while so I just wanna add fuel to the fire (that is already the LED tail light circus in other threads)

Still no ALL button on the A/C!



ugh, I'm tired.

Not likely. 4-Series shouldn't see a refresh until MY2018, and there is zero guarantee that it will carry over to the F80/82/83 front lights.

+1. I even wish they'd just get rid of the dual climate control altogether. My OCD means that I will always need to true up the dials. Pain in the ass for a feature I have no interest in.

No need to buy now until BMW decides to put a competition package in with a lowered suspension and a little more power. Maybe another wheel option also. Why spend money on aftermarket parts when they should do the car right from the beginning for the end customer.

Agreed! Its useless! Dual climate sounds luxurious but its not often utilized and its not like the car is cavernous and you need dual zones.

Lol I do that too! Almost never have passengers but when they change the temp I always have to put it back to the same as my side.
It's a sickness.....

This would be an impossible task for BMW. Every customer is different. As an example, I love my M4 just the way it is and for me it is perfect. But you obviously want something different. If BMW built what you wanted, then I probably wouldn't like it. BMW cannot make all the customers happy, especially in an age when people are so dissatisfied over the most unimportant things.

I also think that the climate control colors will be white during the day and then turn red/orange at night. Thats how the wife's i3 behaves.

[BimmerVinyl]

They made LEDS standard on 340i but not M3.. Wow
