Finally saw one in person
Made an appointment to go see one in person since my local dealer finally got a couple. I was planning on test driving it too but I didn't realize I had scheduled this appointment on the last day of the month, and the CA was running around with her head cutoff. I decided to be merciful and told her we can schedule a test drive in a couple days when things settle down (and when the test drive won't feel rushed). So driving impressions yet to come!
First impressions:
1) People weren't kidding about it looking better in person. It looks stunning in person. I was very skeptical but wow does it have presence.
2) In pictures I found the M3 to look better than the M4.... but in person I find the M4 looks better than the M3.
3) I like IOMG but my wife hates it. Wish I could have seen one in TB2.
4) I'm usually not a fan of CF interior trim (I think it can look tacky)... but it's been done beautifully here and I may actually consider optioning my build with it.
5) I didn't find the carbon bucket seats to be any more uncomfortable than my current m340i seats. That being said, getting in and out does require a few extra gymnastics, and they are a little on the snug side so I can see them getting uncomfortable on longer drives. I'll probably skip them even though I love the look.
Looking forward to getting behind the wheel!
