Detroit 2014: BMW M3 F80 in Yas Marina Blue - World Debut

Jockey · 01-13-2014, 05:16 PM

Is it just me or has BMW seemed to only allow certain options as part of a bigger package and no longer stand alone?

It's no different than it has always been.

Jockey · 01-13-2014, 05:26 PM

Well good then

Keto · 01-13-2014, 07:16 PM

I have to say I like YMB more and more. Glad I switched my order to M3 a few months ago too. Now I need a full options list, pricing and what individual leather is available

. I wouldn't mind hearing how much BMW wants for the M Perfomance carbon fiber bits as well.

Me and BMW are done. Hello Z06

Brosef · 01-13-2014, 07:53 PM

judging by the post count in each thread, it looks like the F80 continues to win the popularity contest among forum members. will be interesting to see how the sales compare.

Ahhh, yes. That slipped my mind. Gotta have CA. I've had it on every car that I could option it on.

CA is standard on a $40k Honda Odyssey. Good thing BMW has to charge for it, such a high end luxury Brand.

The M3 is getting all the love.

S14PWR · 01-13-2014, 09:08 PM

M3 is HAWT!!!

I honestly believe BMW will sell more 4 door than 2 door this time around. There is something about the M4 which is right.

So why the pic of an M235?

Always been that way - these figures show 3 - 10x as many sedans as coupes:

Practicality for a family count for a lot for many.

I was talking about the e36/e9x M3 Coupe/Sedan. They always sold more M3 coupes than sedan but I think with f80/f82, they will sell more f80's.

I'll see if I can find M3 specific numbers.

Correct, my dealer said they sold about one E90 M3 for every 5 E92s. I think the world wide sale figure was at least double E92s vs E90s. Due to this I honestly thought the sedan was going to skip the F8X generation as it did with E30 and E46, I'm happy I was wrong. Maybe the desire to keep the M3 badge alive saved the sedan this time around.

40k for a...... Minivan. Trucks are costing that much too nowadays. Crazy

Fixed.

My keys stay in my pocket the entire time with my 2012 e92 w/CA. Touch door handle to unlock, press top edge to lock, start button without key in slot.
