Looks like these are starting to show up in the wild.

Edit:
Another video has popped up.

The xDrive emblem is SO UGLY.

Agreed. Friggin' tacky.

Uoflfan27 · 07-15-2022, 02:01 PM

Looks like they did in fact remove the M3 lettering on the center console.

Definitely looks out of place back there. Seems strange they added it after not having it for the 2022 models.

It looks cleaner tbh

M3coco · 07-15-2022, 02:43 PM

Looks like this is the extended leather interior. In the configurator it looked like the door panels were not going to be the same color as the seats, but looks like they are?

For Fiona red, but not for some other colors....

Ahhh interesting!

Draper · 07-15-2022, 03:34 PM

That is an incredibly fast turnaround for an individual color.

Must have been a '22 that rolled over to '23.

Yup, there's a lot of that. It happened to me, I ordered in January and it is just now starting production as a MY23.

NightWriter · 07-15-2022, 04:03 PM

Cue all the "but my '22 M3 is still in QC/Port/VPC purgatory!" cries.

(Though I'd be completely sympathetic... I'm not getting my '22 for another 2.5 weeks.)

They don't have the X Drive badge on them on the UK so I'm surprised they do anywhere else.

Beemer89 · 07-15-2022, 04:07 PM

I recently saw a M3 at the BMW welt with the new Idrive 8 in it and I couldn't stand it , it seems to be quite more in the way than the old idrive 7 unit when just looking out of the windscreen , might of just been me though.

The leather is on the doors but not up on the dash. Maybe different build for the UK.

colo3Kid · 07-15-2022, 04:12 PM

The new idrive8 screen appears to be quite large... plus there's that Xdrive badge. The badge doesn't look cool!

RockinPA · 07-15-2022, 04:13 PM

Looks awesome with the buckets.

The xdrive emblem is hideous.

B530e · 07-15-2022, 04:13 PM

I swear y'all find anything to complain about

Well…I'm happy for you because at least you have a date.
My G83 has been stuck in QC Purgatory since 6/3/22!

Sedan_Clan · 07-15-2022, 04:17 PM

I really like the new curved display. It has grown on me significantly.

I like the screen. I don't like how it's just tacked onto the dash with basically no integration at all.
