Colors are so different in every pic/video

The interior looks goid

autopal · 01-21-2014, 07:25 PM

Hey Jason, any idea how the exhaust sound within the cabin? I've seen a few videos, but none with a interior sound.

If you go to the stickies (either one of the official info threads) there are a couple of in-car videos during the test mule ride along.. The one has less talking and the car sounds pretty good.

Are those eibach springs in the pics of the yas marina F80?

Comments:

1. The M3 trunk spoiler is definitely lower profile than any M Performance accessory for the F30. Seems odd that they would go that route, especially considering how agressive the M4’s trunk lid is styled. Nonetheless, the M3’s more-subtle spoiler will look perfect on my M Sport F30!

2. I like the glossy carbon+polished aluminum interior trim. I wonder how the parts would price out compared to the M Performance Alcantara+raw carbon kit..

3. It is cool how those caracal mirrors have hidden side-markers and polished undersides…

4. Just noticed the gauge cluster in the M3 is different than the F30.

Yup! And a side note, I assume you own a Pam 513? I have a Pam 005 myself.

Better get on the Gunny Straps.

I had a Pam, but I sold it. I'm now rockin' a lower tier watch - a Hamilton X-Wing - with a few different Gunny's.

So far I noticed M badges on the trunk, wheels, door sills, fenders, steering wheel, seats, interior...I'm sure there are few under the hood.
I think they should slap a few more.

+1. What's up with the Eibach springs? Are they standard equipment on the new M3? Or just installed for the show?

Eibach makes the OEM springs. I believe Eibach made the E9X M3's OEM springs as well.

Interesting...I didn't know that. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this!

One minor complaint... must the chair rails be visible? They are in my E46 M3 and I'm sure it is in the E92 (and other cars). Can't the chair rail be under the carpet with a long slit above it to allow the seat to go back and forth and to allow access to the rail if need be?

The sedan has been out of production for about 3 years now, its going to have some pent up demand, my theory anyway. I personally like the M4 better but I know there are a lot of sedan guys out there.

F80 looks amazing. I'm still hoping the M4 will grow on me. The rear looks very big. Also is it me or does the M4 seem to be riding very high? Looks like a lot of wheel gap there, even on the rear. Could a Competition pack be the answer??(thinking way ahead I know). I am feeling the trunk though.
