Mineral Grey F82 M4 and Austin Yellow F80 M3 at Houston Auto Show

I had reservation with the M seat badge, but I couldn't feel it as it didn't come in contact with my back. Now if it heats up in the sun, it may be an issue. Hopefully, the BMW designers accounted for this. The one thing lacking in the seats are the adjustable thigh support. Both cars were fitted with carbon ceramic brakes.

Great pics, do you have any of the beige interior?

Could you post some interior pics with you wearing AY sneakers? Yours take away from the overall ambience of the car.

Thanks much, Houston guys. Great info, much appreciated.

Thanks for the full size shots. MG is a definite contender now. I might have to toss a coin on AW/SO or MG/SO Choices, choices

Taken from dumb phone and uploaded in under a minute. Notice the whole car and a decent angle.

I have only changed my mind a 100 times on the color :-)

Couldn't agree more; my top two colors were San Marino and Singapore...

I've decided that I just need to write down all of the color combos that I like on separate pieces of paper, throw them all in a hat, shake them up, and then pick one. Otherwise my normally decisive approach to making decisions will never see fruition where this F80 is concerned, and I'll be stuck in the 'contemplative/tentative' phase forever.


...and so far, I'm considering nearly every color except MW, AW and Silverstone. I like the whites, but I've already owned 4 AW cars (..an '02 330ci, an '11.5 E92 M3, a '13 E70 X5 and my '14 F30 335i)

LOL! That means you've narrowed it down to two choices. You're a better man than I am. I have 4 different combos (..MG/SO, YMB/Black, YMB/Silverstone, SO/Black). I'm all over the place.

Here are mine:

AW with black or SO interior and back wheels

Or

MG with either black, SS or Beige interior and black wheels.

I maybe have to flip a coin first for the exterior and then interior lol.

I went to the dealer and saw a white 335 convertible with the current coral red. Looks good.

Thanks, it's almost my final pick.

Can't believe some people on here are complaining about the standard of photography from forum members who have given up their time to write a review and post up their photos for the benefit of others.

I am not in a position to be able to attend any of the shows so any photo or opinion is a plus. Thanks to everyone who has posted pics, it is appreciated by the vast majority of members.
