Only thing that's tough to do is the door replacement.

I agree here. Everyone wants to pay $100k for a chumpcar. You can get this one for $500, or about the price of an iPhone connector on an F30.

Not correct.

When Scott insisted that the new car will use the i3's composite capability/technology/whatever one could very easily conclude that the M4 would have significantly more CF compared to the current M3 and at least have it in some non-structural body components. In fact multiple forum members here and quite a few of our German buddies made this exact conclusion. They said we would have things like the package tray frame or transmission tunnel or components of those sorts being CF. Of course they were wrong and they were misled by BMW/Scott.

But rest assured, BMW wont forget about its US market. We will get limited edition special stitching and some new cutting edge stickers to put on our cars. Just as good imo.
