Did you see that the 6MT looks like a cost add?

I have the HK stereo now and I am not that impressed. My acura has a better stereo for the costs.

I wonder if the F generation had a solar sensor. Those cars seemed to have terrible temp control compared to the E gen cars. The E's almost never need adjustment. The Fs are all over the place.

The problem lies with the Hot/Cold dial in the center of the dash

Get that dialed in simply and the entire system works as good if not better than older generations

I see Sensatech / Alcantara option !!! Is there any way a car for US can get this interior? Hoping someone can answer this?

It's a German brochure. It's a no cost option in the US.

This thread is causing nothing but confusion.

Can I buy a car built for Germany and bring to US? All are being built in Mecico right? Ones for Germany and ones for US ??

dutchm2 · 10-19-2022, 06:08 AM

Wait.. 275 in the front? 😅 is this because it weighs 1700kg?

It looks like Alcantara/Sensatec (KGNL) is limited to the base sport seats (481). M sport seats (712) and M carbon buckets (48C) seem to be leather only worldwide.

Thanks

I'm just confused and saddened why US does not get (KGNL)... really wanted that and would have purchased the car. Steering wheel and stick shift boot aside I was so hopeful (KGNL) was an option. I'm a minority know, but that was my only need, I would have deposited today. I imagine the draw of " leather as luxary " is a tethered marketing bullet point in US market. Perhaps fortune will make option available over the production run whe 6MT is still available.

The base seats are less than desirable regardless of the materials used. Note, the steering wheel and shifted are still leather.

Thanks TUD

Agreed. The cars production has myriad applications of the industy I'm avoiding as a philosophical choice. The boot and steering wheel I've allowed by me on other BWM purchases but overall seat surfaces is something else.

I've had talks with head of NA Individual as well and have been saddened even there the " customization " is truly not customization. I understand and respect limitations in any program but there is a portrayed face of the program that says" any materials in our wheelhouse " that is not true. I hit walls with 2022 M4, with willingness for unreasonable markup, on this and stepped away.

More choice is more $$. Look at P cars. Infinite choice but the price reflects that. If you go M4 you get more choices beause you are paying more. Makes senses really. If they offered all the choices from the M3/M4 the price would be the same basically.

It looks like for Mexico they'll get Sensatec and alcantara.... I wonder if I can buy one in Mexico and drive it into US and register it......

Wonder if that's possible.... only 1 car and it should be meeting emissions...
