I dunno what it is about the new seats, but fuck.....I like the seats in my previous E9X M3's MUCH better. I'm going to have to get black or red to make those seats tolerable.

Does anyone know why the press review starts the same month customer deliveries do (June 2014)? Is it just a small oversight on BMW's part or intentional?

Yeah, I have a thing for Blue Bimmers.
I think Yas Marina is even worse than Laguna Seca, I would be so happy if they gave us Interlagos with the ZCP again.

OP nice pics, very cool.
Even if they told him do not drift the press car I'm sure he'd try drift them the minute they weren't looking anyway

really?

interesting. I find the seats a massive upgrade. I don't like my e9x seats and think they look kind of cheap.

I love the new seats, they remind me of the upgraded seats in a 911.

My guess:
Because that's the first month that these cars will roll out of the factory, so those will be the first cars available to both customers and press.

Current existing models (car show models) are not used for press drives.

I hate the shape of the headrests and I don't like those perforated squares in the seats. I like the seat backs, but the overall shape just doesn't sit well with me. It's not a deal breaker by any means, but it's an aesthetic attribute that I will do my best to hide and/or mute (..which likely means my interior will be black).

The controls on the wheel didn't feel as cheap as the non-M. overall the fit and finish is generally what you would expect of an M. I was a bit worried before because of how cheap the F30 loaners I've had have felt in the interior.
THANKS!!!!

This was my biggest worry about the F80. I have been in several F30 loaners and man, they just disappointed, especially the seats, which have been terrible! But the full leather interior looks like it really changes the look of the interior. I'm glad you verified that it feels like a real M.


Did you see the gauges? How do they look? That's another gripe of mine, but it looks like between the backlit numbers, the larger black panel and the lack of KM/H markings, they look much better.

THANKS again.

I spent more time trying to figure out if the seats were air conditioned because of the perforations in them. The woman that let me in the car didn't know.
Yeah, they are power adjustable. You can see the buttons in some of the pictures.

Not sure about the thigh support though.

I can't get over how awkwardly large the M4 rear end is. UGLY!

M235i looks amazing - the back could use a little work, mostly with the taillights, but the front is perfect, and it needs to go on a diet. 3505 lbs is waay too much for the M235i.

I would love to get an EBII M235i but my wife made me reconsider getting a coupe given our family ambitions. So I'll prob shell out the extra 20K for the M3 when they get some more decent colors.

As an aside, I just checked with contacts at 3 local dealers. All of them have more people on the M3's waiting list than the M4's. If the coupe is outsold by the sedan, I will be in utter disbelief (..not because I feel like the M4 looks better, but because the coupe has always sold more historically).
