Ohhh. Interesting... I have a '15 so pre comp package availability so I'm feeling grateful for comfy seats! I'll bet you could find someone to swap their regular seats with ya (and maybe even pay you a bit).

Not buying another one back in 2018 and getting the M2...... what a disappointment that car was. So now I have another...but it is used this time but still love it

I could check with my SA for the exact individual cost. I purchased a 3rd party wheel and tire warranty for a bit over $1k and it includes unlimited wheel repair and replacement for 5 years.

It's a beast! Can't beat that V8 sound either.

I wish I got the comp package.... I like the ZCP exhaust note...plus the blacked out badges and grills is a nice touch.

But also part of me didn't want the seats because of the same issue -- missing lumbar support.

I wouldn't have considered this annoying if I didn't have a Lexus in the past but the Dual Climate Control.

Why isn't there a button to match the driver and passenger side temps? I don't know if anyone else is like this, but I hate when the AC temps aren't the same so if I'm adjusting mine, I'll always do the passenger also.

^this also drives me bonkers, my other cars have an option to sync climate.

What makes it even dumber is the E90 LCI cars could sync them too. No idea why it was removed or F80/F30

Annoys me as well... I've never had passengers that even care for this barely functional dual zone climate feature, would rather not have it honestly.

1st: No Android Auto!!!!

2nd: Would be nice to have comfort access on the rear doors (F80) -- My wife's GLK has them, it's noticeable getting my son in and out of the car.

Have never been in an M2; what didn't you like? Thanks!

I cant speak for their reasons, but with me...it was the engine. Dont get me wrong, it made a great sound but completely ran out of breath right around 5500 revs. It had very little at the top of the rev range. Also the interior bits and pieces felt cheap. I ended up tuning the car just to give it a little more life but then I just ended up melting the tires. Even moderate acceleration and my dash looked liked a Christmas light display with the traction control lights flashing and killing power. With DSC off, the car just went sideways with a great blast of smoke and zero traction. It needed bigger wheels and tires and I just didn't feel like investing in that. I always felt like the M2 was like 3/4ths of an M car but they cut a lot of corners. The M4 just feels complete, better finished and does what I want out of the box without the need to mod it. The M2 was a nice car. My M4 is great.

I had a '18, tuned E30 and it never blew my socks off. coilovers, carbon everywhere but it just never seemed to have presence. Handled great in the mountains but overall I missed the slightly bigger M4. it just looks so great. And at that time I think there was only about 100 lbs between the two cars and a big HP gap

i actually liked my alfa 4c better than the M2..... but I always missed the m4 so scrapped up all the cash I could find and bought a used on outright

I'm sure already mentioned, too many pages to read through.. lol.. But I wish I had the Adaptive LED lights that were available on the Executive Package prior to the ICON lights - although those are even cooler. The Xenon lights though they look ok, they immediately date the front end!

I know it can be upgraded, etc., but are pricey, I would also have to code it and looks like a different high beam stalk is required with that extra "auto high beam" button

no longer commuting due to covid so I wish I had a manual transmission

These are minor regrets for the F80 and with my specific F80 that I bought in July:
1.) I wish that it had Android Auto! The original owner paid 300 for Apple Carplay, but it doesn't help me!
2.) I wish I had found a car with LED lights. I am contemplating if its worth retrofitting it or not.
3.) ZCP package is great, but ride can be a little rough/loud sometimes, and tire choices in 20 is limited.


Still really minor stuff though!

1. Yeah, really sucks that there is no Android Auto retrofit either.

2. Its worth it, even from aesthetics alone

3. The best and only choice is the P4S

For 1, get one of those Android MMIs, like the Andream one.

For 3, get 19 inch wheels. Apex has some good options, or I'm sure there will be people with stock 19s keen to trade up and send some money your way.

I don't think these work with ID5/6 NBT EVO which the later cars have (2016-18).
