Is it me or are the rear indicator lights not LED? That seems like taking a step back.

My M3 E92 had a MSRP of $60100, destination $925, and GGT of $1300. If the new M3/M4 are not going to get with GGT, it'll offset some of the price increase.

agreed, $90k is not something I'm interested in doing...and you know it will be over $100k once you add the necessary options to make it a luxury car. I was holding off on the 435i to see what the M4 pricing would be, but after seeing this...decision made, going with the 435i. Plenty of car for me and within the realm of reason. This M4 is almost supercar pricing...I'm sure someone will buy it and think it's worth it, but I don't drive on the track so no sale.

I'm sure the E92 General forums etc would be a better place to talk about the advantages of choosing a 335i and modifying it. In fact, there are dedicated forums for exactly that If you went on a Ferrari forum and said that my Porsche 944 Turbo is a much better car than a 458, I'm also sure you would get some "feedback" And when your budget 335i is faster than a M3 in every aspect (straight line, track, mountain roads etc). Then you can rightfully brag that your car is "cheaper, faster and has your personality". And it should also keep up lap after lap, just as long as the M3/M4 does. A M car is more than just suspension and engine. Cooling systems, throttle response, transmission etc make up for a very different experience. But that is besides the point. I agree with you that it can be just as (or even more) rewarding to modify your own car and create a sleeper. But it takes a bit more than just a chip and suspension to compare with a M |

Don't get to excited about the gas mileage, US Spec will probably get a 10 gallon gas tank marketed as a new feature......
The new M3/4's increased fuel economy has been paired with a new petroleum conscious fuel cell which reduces environmental exposure while increasing rear passenger space. In the continual pursuit of efficient dynamics the new fuel cell lowers the overall weight of the car by 50 lbs allowing for more precise handling and shorter stoping distances.

When you get up to the $70K price range, you are no longer bargain hunting for performance/dollar ratio. |

Comparing a 335 awd you modded is not the same. Awd and rwd drives diff and awd of course will have a 0-60 advantage. Hell my 8 year old Sti has a 0-60 of 4.2-4.6. That didn't prevent me from buying my e92 m3. |

CC brakes alone are probably $6-8k. I think fully loaded it'll be very close to $90k, not $100k.

active sound is lame. but little flappy thing on exhaust to make it louder in different drive modes is pretty awesome.
i'm assuming the backlit m logos will only be on when you're getting in and out of the car like the dome lights? it wouldn't make sense burning a hole in your back while you're driving. all-in-all, i'm interested to see how all these gadgets come together. it could help to further differentiate the experience of the m3 to the normal 3 series. i know performance is king, but i think with the modern m3, the driving experience is also part of the package. hopefully not at the expense of performance though. |
