So the idea with mine would be a 3.5 season car. Wouldn't drive it in heavy snow, but would take it out during dry weather over the winter. On delivery I'd get Michelin AS4+ swapped on. Those alone will buy me at least 2 months more driving from the tire compounds alone (could drive in cold weather). They could also handle super light snow if I misjudged the weather.

Parking assistance is the 360 camera, that's something that is essential to some to prevent curbing wheels, avoiding side- wipes especially for those who live or park in the city garages where spaces are tight. Now driving assistance sure I don't see the need for those and will never order a car with them since I don't even use cruise control. However, BMW was smart to put the driving aids into a separate package.
Executive pkg must have are the HUD and Laser headlights, maybe wireless charging/wifi so you don't fumble with cables while driving in the event your iPhone is on low charge. For my location, the other stuff are not a necessity. Therefore for the other options, I wouldn't pay for that but BMW bundles these instead of ala carte. __________________

You can always order from the MPerformance catalog just the pieces you desire. I ordered my M3Competition in August and still to this day can't get the Exterior Carbon Package... it's greyed out on my build sheet. |

Are the 18/19 inch tires option going to be more comfortable but handlining will not be as good? The front tires are 275/40 that is a tire depth of 110 mm, that will give a very large lateral tire deformation when cornering hard.
Also can we pre order these cars now in the USA for their March launch date? |

Furthermore, how firm the sidewall is has a much greater impact on how the car handles, amount of sidewall deflection, how quickly the car turns in. For example, Formula 1 cars run these super thick sidewalled F1 tires and these cars probably turn in sharper and handle better than any other cars on the planet. |

Wow 5k over MSRP ? I'm actually cancelling my order for a 2021 M340XDrive with the exe and cooling package for track days because the M3's are now available for ordering. When I order the M340 6 weeks ago the dealer said that the M3 was going to take about another 6 months so that is why I order the M340. Very disappointing to hear that they may be going for 5k over MSRP if that is the case I may keep the M340 and trade it in for the M3 in a year or so when the price should be less than MSRP. I'm getting $5,500 below MSRP for the M340. Loyal owner at $500, dealer discount $3,000 and BMW incentive thru finance at $2,000. The MSRP for the M340 is $65,500

No, I'm willing to go with RWD with the M3, I'm retired and now only drive my car about 5000 miles a year and on winter snow days the car is staying in the garage. I order the AWD on the M340 for the better 0-60 times. I may also go and test drive an AMG C63s, and I'm sure they will not go for 5k over MSRP.

I was also looking at the M340i. With incentives it is quite a bit cheaper than the M3. But I would rather have a lightly loaded M3 than a fully loaded M340i. |

Color Matched Reflectors: American spec cars come with "ugly" orange reflectors on the side of the front bumper. Many of us paint those or replace them with painted reflectors for a cleaner look. We're too picky right? Example from the web below.

Any downsides to the carbon roof? I read somewhere that it gets very loud when it rains. Is that true?
Other than that, it's lighter, looks cool and gives me more headroom so seems like a good thing. Just wondering if there were any bad things to consider from those of you who had the carbon roof before. |
