For me personally, one of the primary reasons I am buying an M4 over a Porsche is that I need a four passenger car to haul my kids around in. The fact they deleted the arm rest / cup holders in the backseat is genuinely annoying. Is it a deal breaker? Of course not, but it is really annoying not to have cup holders back there.

It looks like the cab has cup holders where the coupe has that bin. Could one replace the bin with the cup holder thingy from the cab?


Cheers.

The cab appears to have a totally different arrangement for the center console, including a different cushion. The F83 parts look much nicer than the F82 parts there, too bad the coupe got the short end of the stick.

LOL worried about rear armrest for kids but promote condoms to prevent minivans.

Great photos, some of the best I've seen so far.

Are the white cars pictured AW or MW or both?

Thank you for the write-up Sam.
I've really enjoyed it and your point of view is certainly one of the more constructive reviews i've read.

Is there really a braking advantage to the CCB? I read from a BMW M engineer that they mostly offer significantly less fade and heat buildup compared to the stock brakes, but no braking advantage. ie, similar grip, pedal feel and overall characteristic and braking distance. I feel they are being overhyped a bit in the media circles.

Anyone care to shed some light and provide maybe some quotes! Thanks.

Well there must be at least 50 f80 M3 reviews to date, but it didn't prevent this fellow from posting another one. And claiming CCB superiority nonetheless. So it is fair to ask the question and challenge such statement.

But thanks for pointing out that this forum has a search function. That is very kind of you.

I am nothing if not kind. (which may well imply the former is the only true statement).

But it has been covered a zillion times. To summarize very quickly: no difference in normal driving (stop in same time, etc). Difference is just in how quickly you get to fade on track.

If you want quotes and articles, use the search function we both now know exists - you will find them (hint: start in the brakes/chassis subforum)

(and BTW, this isn't a new review. Sam did his review last summer. he just updated the written review with a video. and it was the official review for this entire website/forum so, yeah, it gets to be updated like that)

Interesting that You where allowed to wear a helmet!
I asked BMW AG why they did not provide helmets for the BMW Driving Experience. The answer was it was dangerous to use it in conjunction with Airbag systems. So had they deactivated them for this drive?
