My point still stands. The dash in the E9X cars are the exact same, and the only time the center stack was modified was for LCI (..which affected both cars). The door mounted ambient lighting package does differ between the E90 and E92 cars however.

E90 absolutely did not have the ambient lighting strips, which I consider is real ambient lighting, not 2 tiny little led's, that doesn't count. Look it up.

Yes post LCI the E90 did look much more similar to the E92, but the stacks are still different. For example the HVAC controls don't include heated seats in the E90, they are still in a separate row of buttons on the bottom of the stack whereas in the E92 post LCI they are in the same cluster as the HVAC.
The point is, the interior pic in the OP is NOT an E90, it's an E92.

By "differ" you mean it doesn't exist on the E90 and it does on the E92 then I agree.

Sure, I did admit it was being nit-picky, but you're still wrong on all counts.

ANYWAYS, BACK TO THE OP TOPIC....
DISLIKES: - I dont like that its longer by a few inches (we dont need bigger cars) - I dont like that its a 6 cyl TT vs. a small NA v8 - I dont like that the redline is almost 1000rpm less - I dont like that the DCT is now 80lbs heavier vs. old DCT was only 40 lbs. heavier - I dont like the rear bumper design + the reflector placements LIKES - I like that its lower 1" and wider 2.5" - I love the torque being 111 lbs ft more - I love the shaped CF roof on the sedan - I like the interior and all the new technology (except the nannies of course = lane departure = lame departure = lol) - I like the exterior design - I love that the weight is down from the e90m3 (less weight = more fun) Looks like I'll be trading in my F10M5 for this. I recently drove an F30 diesel with M package and it had the same torque as my old e90m3....i was very mpressed with the chassis stiffness and suspension compliance....and of course the weight vs. torque feel. Based on that car and these preliminary F80M3 specs (eegh...why is it not called an F30M3 again?)....this upcoming car should be a phenom. Last edited by mastek; 12-19-2013 at 08:08 PM.. |

Put in my place??? Hey you're the one going back and changing posts pal. The fact still remains, it's absolutely a pic of a E92 interior, not an E90. The E90 absolutely did NOT have ambient lighting which you flatly denied.

No mega-opinions here, just a thanks for posting this thread. It's very interesting. I think that additional length translates into real seating for adults in the back, and I'm liking the whole package. Except the weird eyebrows over the front air intakes.

I just purchased an E90 M3, but I'll admit that the F80 M3 is better in almost every category...particularly the weight loss.
The only questionable aspect is the fun factor of the motor versus the S65B40 and S54B32. I was sold on the mod-friendly N54 until I drove the M3 and realized the experience is worth more than how much horsepower it can put down with a chip. Hopefully, the S55 will pull hard to redline unlike the N54. Regardless, it's good to see some major improvements that will keep the M3 competitive.

Exception: My ex-fiancee still has the 2011 128i M Sport that we got for her. We bought that a couple of months before I bought the most recent M3. I already have a friend who is going to take over my lease on the 335i so I can get the F80 next year. |

My only problem (this is really nitpicking) with the new cars is how low the rear bumper extends down... the e9x rear bumper is shorter and ends higher up that it gives it more of a taut, athletic appearance. The f8x's rear bumper is so tall that the bottom of the bumper is much closer to the ground; it makes the rears look much bigger in a not-so-good way.. I don't know how to explain it any better but again it isn't really a big deal.. but comparing it to the e90 that's my biggest exterior complaint (which again is minimal).
