There is no need to cover up the interior unless there is a change.

Oh ya I want those vent seats. Those help to cool my ass and the back during the summer quick.

Especially since all he'd have to do is type two letters.

Because Scott doesn't know anywhere near as much as he wants people to believe. You are far more reliable. Scott widely proclaimed the G30 5 Series would have been launched by 9th July. He obviously didn't have a clue what he was talking about. His credibility is zero in my eyes.

Hopefully there is a choice at least. Also, apparently still no lower suspension option on anything besides the M4 GTS? If this is truly a 4th version of the M4 now.

BTW I think the covered dash is hiding alcantara.

Now- there is an example of a mfg. adding vent seats mid-model cycle. Porsche added vent seats to the 9X7 models in 2009 (!!!, BMW) for its LCI of the Boxster/Cayman/911.

But, I mean, we don't even have a SYNC button... LOL

Ya, but that's Porsche

Keep in mind the F32/F33 chassis is still essentially a $40-$50K car platform. Cooled seats would be great (I'm in Texas), but it's certainly not a safety item.

Really nice refresh. I like all of it and the color is awesome

[Colinv6]

Is it just me or is the lower centre air dam larger and more square?

On my M3 there is a pronounced gap underneath the number plate holder and above the airdam, on that car the plate almost meets it!

Edit: I think I'm wrong on that lol...

Hopefully this CS or whatever isn't DCT only.. trying to get back into a manual next go around

[dmk08]

I think this car looks gross overall.

Absolutely no way there was an unforeseen delay of course. Best to put @scott26 on a spit and roast him.

So funny. Men always want what they don't have. If you have a blonde you want a brunette right?

I have Manual, and thinking of going to DCT.

LOL so true! I want a manual M4 next.. I have a DCT M3 now well I actually want a manual 991.1 but I'm sure if I got one I'd be saying man I miss my turbo torque. I need one of each!

+1. except when comes to the tranny choice, 6MT always wins my vote.

Same here in the Chicago area.
Talked to my dealer yesterday and called around. Plenty of M4s on the lots. No m3s anywhere!
I will make sure I order my next one way in advance.

A new, refreshed version of the M4 is badly needed. New front and rear lights would be a good start but not sure it would be enough...

I agree that changing production numbers might be the only way short term.
Less M4s, More M3s!

You should hold on to it. 2014 M4's are extremely rare.

Agreed. Just as rare as unicorns

[gvan1998]

I dont believe it is the case. All F8X M3/4 were launched as 2015 MY in mid-2014.

With the E9X, Europe did get a 2007 MY while most of the rest of the world started with 2008 MY.
