Guys... cmon now... we get it, ass is nice. This is a BMW forum.

I know a lot of you guys have reservations on the look of new iDrive dual screen, but having spent some time now in the iX and i4 M50, I can say that the single screen is phenomenal.

The resolution is crystal clear and very responsive. Having so much screen devoted to what you're doing is awesome. Think when you're using navigation you have essentially a 10 inch screen that's as quick and responsive as your iPad. It's really, really good. I'm pumped to see what BMW M adds to it.

Only drawback for me would be the A/C controls but I'm sure once you get the hang of it, it won't be so bad.

Sporck · 03-22-2022, 06:20 AM

Is there any information when the M2 will be presented?

Any idea if the display(s) are OLED?

I heard conflicting reports that it is and being that the graphics appear more defined than iD7, I'm assuming this is in fact the case.

The central screen is 4k resolution so that definitely contributes to how much better it looks than ID7 screens. I haven't heard about whether it's OLED or not though.

This article below and a random YouTube influencer/reviewer at the i4 unveiling claimed, in passing, that iDrive 8 had an OLED display.. Take that for what its worth..

Regardless if it's true or not, the graphics and color saturation on iD8 is really a level up from the previous iDrive iterations.

It also uses T-Mobile as its 5G telematics provider, which in my opinion is a step up in price and service from its previous default service provider, AT&T.

Mods: why is this thread in the G42 2 series section? Isn't it time to create a new G87 forum under the M2 section?

In my eyes, the 4 Series Coupé really isn't as radical as it is made out to be by the the media. It's a very elegant car with very good proportions. The only thing that could be perceived as unconventional is the shape of our kidney grille.
It makes me wonder, in a way, how people are so superficial that [COLOR="DarkRed"]they judge on one detail[/COLOR]. It's like judging a human being on one thing – big nose, long legs, big head. You wouldn't say to a chef, 'Okay, this three-course menu is great, but what is your favourite ingredient?' [COLOR="DarkRed"]Salt is just salt[/COLOR]; a tomato is just a tomato. It's really the composition of all the ingredients that is important.
I always admired Karl Lagerfeld for what he did at Chanel, but also for his attitude. [COLOR="DarkRed"]He didn't care what people thought.[/COLOR] Because the truth is, if you want to create something that is really daring or bold, people will follow if you're [COLOR="DarkRed"]confident enough to know what the brand deserves[/COLOR]."

Imagine a chef deciding to make excessive/disproportionate use of salt "to make a statement", explaining "there are no rules - I don't care what people think - I'm confident enough to know what this restaurant deserves".

Subsequently watch how people in the restaurant react.

This clown needs to be stopped.

Maybe just the picture, but the rear end of the G80 with that exhaust (and I'm a fan of the G80) is a shit storm
