Interior quality
Craftsmanship should be the same, but richer materials and special details in the M, and of course additional controls.

Have you seen the color HUD in the new Camaros? It is actually pretty awesome. Would be even awesomer if BMW could leverage a HUD tech in lieu of a tablet glued onto my dashboard. |

I believe the hud on the bmws are the best in the industry...in the m cars, it also has rpm and mph....it would be awesome if it said SHIFT on the hud once it got to redline

M'a have always been made in the Dingolfing plant. Unless they've changed it recently.
FWIW, my '08 M5 developed a tear in the front passenger seat last month. Not happy with BMW leather quality!

Correct. If you don't get Nav you have this massive amount of bezel around your 5.5inch screen. Personally I like toys though so I will have nav.

Too bad about the inability to delete the dash-chiclet.
My point w/ bringing up the 'maro, is that GM integrated the info-tainment system into the lower dash design. While putting key driver functions into the HUD, mph, rpm, navi, etc. I suspect BMW (and Merc) put the chiclet screen so high up is so drivers don't have to take their eyes too far off the road. Perfection for me would be to have a driver oriented BMW,... drop the bling-screen lower in the dash and integrate it for a clean design. At the same make HUD standard, start by putting key functions in the HUD menu. And IF you REALLY need it, add facebook and twitter into the HUD as well. My personal opinion is if you need an 8" screen to 'calibrate' your suspension, throttle and shift maps to your liking - then,... I think the car is simply over-complicated. Anywho - Still can't wait to see the M3/4 in person and give it a good beating. |

I still can't get over the navigation screen on the F's. Looks like it was just plopped on as an afterthought in the design process. I think it's going to look especially out of place in the new M3/M4. It just doesn't look like a speed-related design item. I drove a 2013 328i for a few months and it bothered me.
