I couldn't even see it at the car show because BMW didn't bring it LA!

Still, every picture I see makes me want one more and more!

Which dealer in Luxemburg? Can you shoot me an address? Also, do you know how long the cars will stay there?

I later found that this is on all F3x models (I've never driven one at night). This pretty sucks, it looks weird and is kinda disturbing. And I'm not sure if it's also on other BMWs. At least it's not on the F10/F11, F13, F15...

Muzzolini in Esch sur Alzette had the M3 until yesterday.
Schmitz in Mersch had the M4 yesterday.
Arnold Kontz in Luxembourg town will have the M4 this weekend.

In each case I am not sure how long they will have them on display. They seem to swap them around between the dealers and the car festival runs until 10th February.

I'm still slightly bothered by the way the Nav screen sticks out. I ask, couldn't they have done a better job with the way it fits in the dash ?

It still looks like it's glued on there....

Yes, I personally think for the 3 series BMW put the mandatory screen there as a away to push more people into getting the navigation, because who will now put a TomTom/Garmin on the screen on top of the existing screen?

I love what they did with both the M3 and M4 styling but that nav screen still looks out of place. It bothers me only cause I know how much pride they put into their cars to overlook something you have to stare at everyday....

Is the Pass Airbag in the dash shown with the lines where the door is? Not as clean looking as a smooth surface.

Thank you, so Arnold Kontz will have not have the M3? If that's the case, do you know where the M3 will be at on Saturday? In your pics both cars are present at one dealer...or maybe I'm seeing things.

Sorry about million questions.

Yeah, but really useful if you do European Delivery.

I've been griping about that ever since the F30 release. Looks cheap to me. I'll take the hump design anyday over that.

At first I thought it was gimmicky but the illumination they showed in the release trailer looked backlit and pretty sweet. Using a glow in the dark kind of material does makes me go limp though

I was hoping it would be backlit. I think it would be one of those cool but cheesy touches.

Are those tiny black circles just printed on or are they perforations in the seat? Not sure I'm digging that seat design. Those black circles in a series of rectangles remind me of the aftermarket cheap seat covers you get for an old car.

Very true.

It's just too bad that even though it is essentially an F3X, it had to carry the ugly dashboard layout.

The door inserts in leather should have extended as in the 3GT and 4GC.
