I was thinking the exact same thing.

Coupe looks fine, but I have to say the conv topless makes it more cohesive in style.

Maybe it was a typo, but are they offering gesture control? They don't offer it on any other verts. Not a deal breaker for me but I do like GC.

Saw it in person at the BMW Welt today. Looks good! The fabric roof works really well with the rest of the design.

What roof color was shown, was it the metallic black?

The car had the typical "press car" look.

Black roof (at least to my eyes it looked black...)
Frozen Portimao paint
Silverstone buckets

Does the G83 not have the laser lights at all?

UK configurator site has laser lights as an option. In the past for the US market, the higher priced 3/4 series convertible and respective M3/M4 convertible have come with more standard options that the sedan/coupe, as I expect that laser lights might be standard for the G83 US market. Also, some early M3 (G80) were coming with the laser lights instead of the LED's.

All premature speculation until the US order guide is released later this summer.

I think this is stunning, anybody else?

The lines work really well on this car, I think this might be my favorite vert since the E46 M3

Short answer…the M3/M4 xDrives should still be set for a July SOP
Yep, have a build date for 3rd July M4c xDrive.

Anyone know when we will see test reviews? I am in negotiations with my dealer but everything is still too abstract, no configurator, we do not know how it will compare to the regular model. I have an F83 and it's ok, but the gap vs an F82 is important. I hope that with the G83 the behavior will be a little more one par with the G82. On my side I am unable to order only by seeing 2 sheet of paper with prices and options.

My daughter has inquires into a few dealers. No M4 convert yet - expect production to start in Sept 2021.

Good writeup! First time I've seen oil capacity. Figured it was ~ 7 quarts, so 7.4 with filter makes sense. On my 1200 mile break-in, the dealer said they put in 70 quarts...what's a zero between friends...I'm guessing 0-30.
