I wouldn't hold back from ordering a CF roof if that's the only question you have remaining.

Am I the only one who thinks the individual color choices suck?

Moonstone is my favorite color.
Weight loss or lack thereof are speculative until someone weighs comparably equipped models on the same scales with same fuel loads. I suspect the actual loss will be more like 40-50lbs. F30 chassis is just plain bigger than E90, and tougher crash standards were applicaBle compared to the early mid 2000when E9x was on the drawing boards. Tough to hide that in an almost all-steel car

Azurite Blue is a new color. Unless it was a typo and they meant Azurite Black.
Regarding the weight, that still puts the M3/M4 at about 800lbs less than the F10 M5/M6 Gran Coupe and about 650lbs less than the F13 M6. Pretty good and will definitely be a better drivers cars for sure. Anyways, yeah people will just need to start weighing their new cars when they get them. There's truck weigh scales all around the U.S. Also, a Carbon Fiber Hood would have been nice considering they are using Carbon in so many other places. Maybe on the next gen M3/M4 then.

Thanks for asking the passive suspension question. Even better, the answer is perfect. The only reason for me to select adaptive would have been a spongy passive suspension. Now I can stick with passive with no concerns.

This interview reinforces my decision NOT to go with an early model as I did with my e92 since Comp pack or maybe CSL are being mulled....with Comp coming for sure. I have a bare bones e92 with DCT and cloth but would have liked Comp MDM and other small goodies. On the other hand, if you mod your car, go ahead with the first model.
I don't have adaptive suspension and never once missed or needed it on the wonderful Chicago roads......and I am still Using it as my DD today....to much love for the S65 still.... |

Im wondering how much weight is due to the options of "more than 1/3" of the purchases. I'm expecting the weight is based on a fully loaded model. How much do you guys think is saved on a stripper model?
And since sport+ is too aggressive of a setting (for throttle) im leaning towards dct. Unless of course you could be in sport+ mode with throttle in comfort and not have auto blipping. Whats the fun in that?! |

No way to disable auto rev match outside of sport+is a big disappointment for me. I typically haven't liked the sportiest throttle calibrations in the past.

Is this the standard approach to weighing cars -- and does this include a full tank -- and what are the options expected to be on 1/3 of M3/M4s sold?
"The way the US curb weight is measured includes full fluids in the car, all standard equipment for US market and all options that are expected to be equipped on more than one-thirds of M3/M4 sold (i.e. 19" wheels and DCT are included)." |

The DCT auto mode gets a big boost with the brake induced downshifts. This car is going to be fast around a track in D mode. Now we just need auto pilot... Seriously though this will make zipping around town in D mode a lot better since it's the biggest execution downside of the E9X DCT in D mode, the pause after breaking hard into a corner and applying throttle while the gear is selected.
