Suggestions for improvements to the M3/M4

SteveSpy · 07-07-2014, 09:33 PM

Two things to say about the F80/F82 that are negative:

1) No A/C Sync button

2) No seat belt height adjustment

Other than that, kudos to you guys. These are easy fixes, I would most definitely consider them when your next model refresh comes around.

Additional advice: offer priority status for shipping for all M's. Hell you know we'll pay!

+1 on the AC sync button, WTH were they thinking. Why take it away? Efficient Dynamics...you have to adjust your temp twice every time you change it. Stupid Dynamics

LED tail light before LCI would be nice for a 2015 model

phear_me · 07-08-2014, 12:14 AM

The buttons next to the shifter should light up.

Based on my real life experience, even Somalians have better tech than this.

seems like you are new to the forums and maybe to bmw. this has been like this for the past couple years with the f30 already.

Out of all the stuff on this thread so far, this is hands down the most important one to be acknowledged.

Absolutely no reason the auto-blip feature isn't customizable. It's technology that has been around for a few years now, BMW should've made this something that the driver can pick-and-choose when he/she wants it.

Agreed. Everything else is so minor compared to this.

Not so minor if your car has been sitting at the port waiting for a vessel for weeks!

Well that's not really the car's fault though. Hey at least you guys are getting one, don't complain!

A/C sync button seems to appear and disappear, really miss it on the X5 and will definitely miss it on the M, not sure why E92 seemed to be the exception, my 335is has it.

boogie1 · 07-08-2014, 08:57 AM

+1 led taillights, and this front side panel….it makes the car look a lot less like a 435. anyone know the color of this car also? is my fav color so far on the m4.

boogie1 · 07-08-2014, 08:58 AM

sorry wrong attachment this front side panel and color
