No LCI can fix this.
Give it a 3 year life, and hire someone to get our favorite car brand back to where it belongs. I just cannot understand how one could fail so hard as this. It is beyond comprehension. Don't they run this by some reference groups of people? I have lived through all the M3 introductions, and they have all been received with awe and admiration, every single one. A slight disappointment over the E36 standard fenders, but that was all forgotten when the juicy E46 body came around. Then the E92 came, a great looker as well, and that awesome DKG. To be honest - I feel it as a personal insult that this car bears the M3 badge. |

Perfect example why people will complain no matter what.

I have heard of this with Frozen paint colors due to material differences taking up the matte paint slightly differently but not on gloss finish. |

Great coverage man, thx.
Did you notice anything about the pedal positioning? Heel/toe in the manual, or left foot braking in the auto. I find the F80 DCT (RHD) isn't good for left foot braking. |

As much as people complain about it, there are many more who love the new design and will bring in many new first time owners to the brand. The M3/4 is not a pure sports car anymore, and that is by design. The new M2 will fill that slot in BMW's lineup. In my mind, the M3 is the new M5. And for that, I welcome it. I can't wait to get in it and have it complement my M2C.

You can do heel/toe with manual. I heard that you can turn off the auto rev match without disabling the DSC for the new model but I didn't verify for that. For the M4C with CF bucket seat it is a bit inconvenient for left foot breaking because of the center bulge, but not a big deal for occasional race tracking.

Launch colours i.e IOM green and SP yellow are particularly loud, IMO more subtle colours such as grey, silver, black, white, blue would complement the design elements better

The hood is useless, is non-functional and only there to fix the aesthetics for the stupid grill.
The placement of the manual shifter and the i-drive/electronic buttons is horrendous. So much for ergonomics for the manual drivers. Crappy design execution-Check Crappy ergonomic execution-Check Longer/bigger car-Check It's clear BMW targeting this car at a totally different demographic than previous buyers. |

Add this to people complaining about the lack of a carbon fiber strut brace under the hood and I completely agree.
