what does it say on the steering wheel? the best i could figure out was "fold down the camouflage when parked", which would be funny.
also those seats better fit the f80. i need some schroth harnesses.

True but I think it is particularly noticeable on this generation and in a bad way. Really shows the extent of part recycling and cost cutting in order to make 8 SUV models. M models barely have any exterior differences now.

I agree. It's always been a problem, but right now it's literally all the same. Unless you're a BMW nerd the average person will never know the different. Red buttons aren't enough.

From the new interior pix it seems the analog dash gauges are gone, replaced with new electronic garbage.

As much as I love the old analog style dials, I'm not hating on the digital either. That's where the industry is going and sure it won't have the timeless character, but does look pretty nice for the time being.

While my plan is to keep the M2C as my DD for quite a while, it warms my automotive soul to see a good old MT in its proper spot...

Interior is nothing exciting. Glad manual is retained. The sport buckets look nice too. Too bad this thing will be the fugliest BMW of all time with the front grill and Japanese rear smh

As I feared they're going with the smaller LED lighting strip that cuts off halfway through the door, just like in the G20
At least the exhaust tips look beefier now.

Also the G14 8 series is more of a unique look. It's more of a grand touring sports car interior. I'm the grand scheme they are all kind of similar, but you can clearly see where BMW made the biggest changes in interior design. |

BMW M just posted this in their Instagram. The seats look like the new M3/M4 seats in the spy shots. Some people are saying it might be the new M5 CS.
But hoping BMW announces this soon!
