Introducing my F80 & me

silver_mcoupe · 01-20-2017, 02:32 PM

Almost a week in and I'm loving most of what this car offers

The rest is all adjustments from coming from my old car (except lack of comfort access for the rear doors - grrr).

Loving the stealth look - although neighbours can tell its louder than my previous (535D) when I head out at 615am every morning!

Its my DD - look forward to meeting up with other M3s in the area v soon - and thank to this forum for the great info and resources.

Nothing major:

- no sync button (I know, I know)
- aforementioned comfort access
- getting used to the ASD
- getting used to the ZCP seats
- freaking out everytime I park so as to not clip the front lip
- embarrassed to say I havent figured out how to open the front armrest (cant blame the car for that...)

As for mods - just tint (next week) and Dinantronics down the line

Ahh the seats, my #1 fear as I await delivery. Many reviews many mixed feelings, your impression?? Hard?? Lack of adjustable lumbar not a deal breaker but... Please let me know.

Love the color! Very nice! Congrats!!!

Pull up on the front part of the armrest with more force than you'd think and it'll open up. Same thing when closing.

I'm still getting used to how much force is required when opening and closing the armrest.

Code that out ASAP and activate the Anti-Dazzle while you're at it!

Congrats on the new ride!!

I really like them after a week in. They make you sit upright, lack of lumbar not a problem for me. Once I get some longer journeys under my belt I can let you know for sure - just an adjustment coming from the comfort seats in my old 535 - but not uncomfortable.

ASD? SYNC? not sure i'm following on those.. by synch are you talking about the A/C system?

ASD = Active Sound Design - fake engine noises fed through the speaker. I believe your X5 has it too, but I could be wrong.

Sync is dual climate sync. The LCI M4 and LCI II M3 should have it.

Congrats. East Bay BMW?

ahh.. i was thinking it was auto soft doors or something - but that would have been in his rear access mention. was totally confused.

sync - couldn't tell you the last time we ever used that in the X5. maybe because i have the AC blowing at 60 even in the "winter" here in FL and my wife always has the heat on and her seat heater going. since my incoming M3 is my car only, and she won't be in it much - guess i won't notice not having it

I had it in my 340i but didn't use it either. Set both sides to 70 and play with the middle roller to fine tune.
