my question as well

can't really stand the matt gold

on top of the M performance parts, if doing european delivery, can M performance parts be ordered/installed at the factory?

Possibility of an AWD version later?

As of now, no M4 Gran Coupe is planned (info is current as of today).

Oddly specific question:

will the bi-xenon headlights come with LED turn indicators or are they cheeping out with halogen?

autopal · 04-10-2014, 05:03 PM

Why should we have to buy M performance exhaust in order for a M car to sound ok?

Quote:

As brake temperature rises, Brake Fade Compensation automatically increases the hydraulic pressure in the brake system relative to pedal application, so the driver does not have to press harder on the pedal.

Have there been changes to the M-DCT transmission compared to the E9X M3?

Also for the M-DCT are the driver software selections the same as the previous model?

Powaup · 04-10-2014, 05:13 PM

Why are blue calipers only non-ceramic color available? 428 & 435 offer three color options, f8x should too.

BMV///M3 · 04-10-2014, 05:31 PM

If executive pack sales are poor, will more standalone options be considered? There are many who just want one or two items (CA and back up sensors) from the exec pack and not interested in everything else?

This may be jumping the gun but is a competition pack on the horizon for 2016 models, similar to 08 to 09 M3's? I'd imagine they'd be tight lipped as that would affect sales of 2015 models, or perhaps not.

Why no US options for all black wheels?

racekor · 04-10-2014, 05:32 PM

do you know what colors will be there?

^^^this^^^ the best question to demand

it gets answered

EuroTrip · 04-10-2014, 05:37 PM

Will there be a frozen paint option (from standard color pallette) that is $1900?

Is frozen paint considered the same as individual at $5000 charge?

Will there be $1900 color options non frozen?

Do we have CEL (Center Employee Lease) below invoice discount numbers yet?

Is there talk of Competition (ZCP) option for MY 2015?

Thanks!

M4TW · 04-10-2014, 05:45 PM

If they do offer AWD as an option will they make it a mandatory option so that everyone will have to subscribe to someone else's vision of how an ///M car should drive and will they require existing ///M owners to take their cars in to be retrofitted?

3-6 months after first deliveries are completed.

Any plans to offer a true CSL model with a significant weight diet like the E46 M3 CSL version?

Please dont ask this. We dont need m gmbh to stress fuel efficiency any more than they already do with these types of questions. The majority dont care.

Really? Because we all still experience brake fade lol

Hawkeye1 · 04-10-2014, 06:16 PM

Will the Carbon Ceramic Brakes stand up to track usage? Have they been extensively track tested during development?

Is the DCT largely identical in function and specifications (i.e. engineering limits) to the one used in the M5/M6? (i.e. does it have headroom to accommodate more horsepower?)

Ditto the comments above on curb weight. The lack of a 'standard' is confusing.
