I caveat this postive legibility comment by noting I don't know how the relative size compares to the one in the 5-series, and that I obviously didn't dynamically test it while driving. But it was easy to read at a glance while sitting still. |

Thanks! That's a "pet peeve" of mine too, and I had to wait until the crowds dispersed after closing time to get the long shots. I'm glad someone noticed!

[QUOTE=jasemsport;15343765]The 4gc doesn't have a pop up spoiler like Dackelone already mentioned above. Also 5-door like 3gt but sportier, actually it's just the 4 coupe with 2 extra doors and another boot lid, it even has the same roofline i think.
I saw it there in Brussels, it's a nice car i loved it...QUOTE] Quote:

Having seen some 4 series on the road they do look better than the 3. Even though I drive a 3 and am very happy with it, the coupe will win out in the looks department eventually. If you need 4 doors get the M3 otherwise the M4. It's that simple.

Based on these pics, and what I saw, I indeed also conclude I like the M3 more than the M4. Actually, I dont like the M4 at all. In dark colors, the M4 will look even more unpleasing.
Anyway, everyone has his own taste of course. But they could have done a better job on the rear of the M4. Too bad. |

To my eyes the sheet metal (or plastic or carbon fiber) on performance cars looks best when tightly wrapped around wheels with an aggressive stance. Large smooth fenders just don't look tightly wrapped. Plenty of people think the Jag E-type is one of the most beautiful and elegant shapes ever, but it doesn't look well planted on the road. And I don't think the E92/F82 look as planted as the E46. My view. Which is as good or as worthless as the next. |

M3 looks awesome. Love the rear AND side view. Reminds me of E39 M5.

full black panel display should be an option in this car.... lame that it is still extended like the F30...
considering you can get full black on F25....

Hi. Finally found the "attach files" link down below, so images of the F30 w/ Perf Mods from Brussels, now attached.

Well, let me caveat that. I think the seats in the E46 felt a lot harder. If I sat just right in the German specified posture they could be all-day comfortable (my longest single day in my E46 was 800 miles when I drove across the country in 3 days). But if I slouched or didn't sit exactly straight ahead careful to maintain even pressure everywhere I would get sore spots. I felt like I sunk down into the F80/2 seats more, and they were more instantly comfortable. We aren't talking C5/C6 Corvette seats here (I had a C5 for a couple years as well), but softer than the hard and slippery E46 seats. I thought the E46 seats felt substantial and well built, but in leather they were next to worthless for holding me in place at the track (nothing like stock, and especially sport, Porsche seats). All in all my initial impression of the F80/2 seats is very positive. They aren't a full on track seat, but they should be both very comfortable and supportive on the street. And even without the extendable thigh support they are tall person friendly. Better even than the two most recent M3 seat designs. Other opinions (just like body shapes) are likely to vary. Regards |
