I'm considering the 2020 Corvette, because BMW will not and has not gotten their head out of their ass. Specifically, with the M4. For instance, most new cars and some sports cars are equipped with a digital dashboard, that allows the driver to configure. The 2019 M4 still has the analog dash with the "absolutely ugly and outdated" orange background. BMW has installed the digital dashboard on the 8 series. Therefore, it's unbelievable that BMW cannot get hardware and software engineers and those who write software code, to configure the digital dashboard for the M4. At least offer it as an option, and I'll gladly pay for it. I wanted to purchase a 2019 M4, but I don't want to pay $90,000 plus and receive antiquated technology. A 2019 or 2020 M4 with the digital
dash would be bad ass. The 2020 Corvette has a digital dash, and it's amazing, and sweet to look at day or night. BMW....please consider the digital dash for the M4 in 2020, 2021 or 2022.

And doesn't the 440 already have a digital dash?

Dude, you're not getting the digital dash in an M3/4 until the G8x series.

The GTV is something that has my interest too but won’t be priced anywhere near the $60k the C9 will be.

Let’s face it, Chevy Corvette’s pricing model has ruined it for everyone else offering a performance car in the two seater market segment. If they can get the interior right, it will be every performance manufacturer’s nightmare.

Checks all boxes. If this thing is even semi reliable and decently together, it'll be at the top lists for sports cars for a while. And at 60k?

Z51+2LT will bring it closer to $80k... still amazing price though for a sub-3-second car. Just need to talk wifey in

Lol. All i see here is one jealous german fanboi. But not to worry. You’ll only see tail end of them running around.
If you have the balls, at least go drive or ride in a cars like hellcat, gt350. It might just broaden your view.
Oh wait, nvm. I think you’ll like lexus better with their “refined” interior.

Lol I'll take a Lexus any day over a Chevy to be honest, shyt I'll even take a Tesla over that crap. Good to know that all these m guys are jumping over to a Chevy, more exclusivity is always a better thing.

That ugly fake Ferrari will be the next Dodge Charger, I can't drive a mile without seeing that piece of crap.

...and if all you care about is horsepower and which car is faster then you are probably driving the wrong car now.

This is an absolutely hilarious take by somebody who drives a M3/4 and 95% of people on the road think it looks just like a regular 3 series that is a dime a dozen

I get your point ... but I've had a regular 3 series and the average person on the road did not give a shyt, since I had the m4, literally a week has not passed by without me getting a compliment/ question about it by random people, so your 95% might be just a little off - this is just in my experience.

All I'm saying is that if I wanted a Ferrari, I'd make the sacrifice, work harder, save more and get a Ferrari, not buy a cheap American knockoff. Most don't agree with my logic and that's fine, just my opinion - Corvettes are, and always will be crap, and the 2020 iteration is a very well polished turd.

It’s just very obvious you haven’t driven a C8 and definitely haven’t been in a C9.

So your opinion is a very raw turd

You sound ridiculous. Many of us here are "car" guys/gals and can appreciate a machine for what it offers, not what logo it carries.

Sure, I could buy a Ferrari if I wanted one...but I don't. I am, however, intrigued at this car.

Personally, the car I drive is not a status symbol for me...apparently for you (and your "girl" who laughs at what others drive along with her friends) it is...and that's cool.

Nice pairing! The C8 will definitely be a great budget performance weekend car that pairs well with an M3.

Granted, American cars are notorious for poor build quality and plastic interiors along with garbage service, but if Chevy delivers the C8 in a more refined manner with minimal issues, it'll be a fantastic buy!

what just happened?

I see a preppy soccer mom with hair problems bashing hard on GM. Soccer mom's don't appreciate the LSX fam. They often drive refined Toyotas. This is just conclusive...

You corvette guys need to chill out, it's really not that serious. Must be all those testosterone injections. Glad to see you leaving Bimmerpost soon though, don't let the door hit you on the way out
