Was 'spec'ing' one on the UK site just as I was reading your post. Looks not bad at all.

YES! What I like about SO interior (extended not full) is that only seats and a bit of doors are SO so it's not as orange/red inside as let's say M5 or M6. Plus back of the seats are black too to give it a bit of contrast.

I love justifying stuff for myself.

Off topic:
so you paste the entire screen shot? Can you share how it works in a little more detail, like does it output an img or url so you can use it in the forum?

EDIT: Just found a little program that allows me to cut many steps out.

[Denk]

That was fun...I'll be back in a few years to see if I wanna get serious...ZCP, Edition, ect...

I have an HP and TOSHIBA and DELL computer I use, I do not know if I can do screen shots from the computer so it wont work for me. But if you guys know how to let me know. thanks

Kind of irritated that there isn't an M-specific black color available. Jerez or Carbon... but why black sapphire? It looks good, but it is hardly an "exclusive" color like M's have had in the past. It makes me re-think ordering black M4.

[Sam335ix]

I have asked but no answers... Will there frozen color options?

The price difference between the M3 and the M4 is very slight (less than 500 pounds) but the price difference between a 3 series and 4 series is much larger (more than 3000 pounds). If you take the ratio between the markup of a base 3/435i Msport to a M3/4 and apply it to US prices, you can get an estimate of what US M3/4 pricing may be. However, the M3 ends up being more expensive (since the ratio on the UK M3/UK 335 is larger), which can't be right. But my guess would be that the US pricing will be similar to below...

Base UK M4: 56,635
Base UK 435i Msport - 43,155 (Sport Auto Transmission since this is what US 435i's have)

Base US 435i MSport - 49,100

Therefore (56,636/43,155)*49,100 = $64,436!!!

Base UK M3 - 56,175
Base UK 335i MSport - 39,750 (Sport Auto Transmission since this is what US 335i's have)

Base US 335i Msport - 46,500

Therefore (56,175/39,750)*46,500 = 65,714!!!

My guess is that US prices will be be close to these. Keep in mind that M3/M4 will have more standard features than the E92 M3 so the markup isn't that terrible.

Just something to think about...

The list of options from the dealer order guide listed here has some changes from the UK standard spec, the M4 over here comes with these options as standard.
2VB Tyre pressure monitoring
2VF Adaptive M Sport suspension
2VY 19" M Double- spoke style 437M alloy wheels with mixed tyres
302 Alarm system (Thatcham 1)
423 Floor mats, velour
428 First Aid Kit & Triangle
430 Ext. mirrors - folding, auto dimming
431 Rear-view mirror, auto dimming
459 Elec Fr Seats + Driver Memory
488 Lumbar support, driver and front pass.
490 Backrest width adjustment
494 Seat heating, front
502 Headlight wash
508 Park Distance Control (PDC), front and rear
521 Rain sensor with auto. headlight activation
534 Automatic Air Conditioning
544 Cruise control with brake function
563 Extended Interior Light Package
575 12V power sockets
5DA Passenger airbag deactivation, front
609 Navigation system Professional
654 DAB digital radio
6AC BMW Emergency call
6AE BMW TeleServices
6AK BMW Online Services
6AM Real Time Traffic Information
6AN Information Plus
6AP Remote Services
6NS Enhanced Bluetooth telephone with USB & Voice Control
760 Exterior trim, High-gloss Shadowline
775 Headlining, Anthracite
I think a few of these were on the list as options on the order guide, this might have an effect on the US price.

Wonder if US gets this feature:

"The well-conceived design of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé extends to the rear lights. Their L-shape means, they blend harmoniously into the vehicle styling, emphasising the powerful width. Dynamic brake lights supply an added safety bonus in that they light up gently at a soft touch of the pedal and more intensively during hard braking."

[JTO24]

Hasn't the US always had that feature? When you brake hard, the rear fogs light up with the regular brake lights for US spec'd cars. I swore I had this on my 07 e92 335i.

Guess you're right. I remember it on the E46 M3 (LED), but had to look up in current manual to verify Brake Force Display is on the E9X.

Thanks for sharing much better than the visualizer, I wish i could rotate the camera with the night view and for some reason when I click on "show configurations" and try to login it tells me my credentials are invalid. I asked to reset my password but never got an email either. Can anybody tell me what that link leads to?
