In my F30h, I could never get a good fit of the iPhone 6 Plus in landscape in that smaller "auxiliary" section forward of the actual cupholders (cover removed), without it sliding around.

Me too. Drop off date is sep 10 in Zurich

Well, it official(to me) the LED tails look better and the ambient lighting is pretty cool.
Not sure I could've waited for that though and the 2015s aren't bad.
It's an incremental tiny move forward that only enthusiasts will see and will be a point to consider when selling....is this a pre-lci car....yes,why, oh because if it were lci we could've given you an extra $358(random insignificant #) on your trade.....oh dammit.

///F80M3 · 07-26-2015, 04:25 PM

Doesn't the 2015 have the light strips on the doors?

raysspl · 07-26-2015, 04:38 PM

It's as gorgeous as ever

If you've ever paid attention to BMW's pattern, headlights never get changed with the LCI makeover(for the M3's), since the E46 days the headlights have always remained the same.

vladberca · 07-26-2015, 04:57 PM

Congrats for the purchase!
Really nice updates on the car!

Db750 · 07-26-2015, 05:07 PM

First off congrats on your new M3

Beautiful color combo. Also, thank you for the detailed pictures and video!

The new tail lights def look cool and are a big improvement over the pre-LCI, but it's no where near the difference the LCI changes made for the E90 M3 where the 2009 rear almost looked like a different car.

BigHurmJr · 07-26-2015, 05:11 PM

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing man.

stroids88 · 07-26-2015, 05:17 PM

Congrats. Beautiful M3

You are all welcome and I'm glad to help.

are the turn signals orange in the new LCI or is that a euro spec?

To me they look yellow (live).

Yellow turn signals are for Euro F8x cars. We'll have red.

phoenixbmwlife · 07-26-2015, 05:49 PM

A side by side with all the changes,
/differences between the two would be ideal. All I can see in these videos is your car looks great. The tail lights look slightly different but I really cant see everything that is different.

Drat... why can't we have them yellow in the States?

Nachbar · 07-26-2015, 06:00 PM

Another teaser.. I played with the brightness, trying make it more visible.

This. 👆

They make us have the orange reflectors in the front, why cant we have orange in the rear? Looks great with the contrast against the red lens. Hopefully the red ones will look as good.

Because the LEDs look stellar?

The M3 looks like nothing else. It's just a different in a very very good way.

Congrats and loving the color

Yeah, we'll have to keep an eye on this as others take delivery to see how it unfolds. The door trim is a little surprising, but it is believable that may have decided not to match every single trim strip finish for this part. The cup holder, though, is bizarre as you mentioned.

Congrats on the new car, OP.

Now we need a 2016 M4 (and 4 Series for that matter) sample to see which of these interior changes make it over to that model and which do not.
