First post here, after studying the 2025 order guide and browsing all the press photos, the new center dash vent has me asking questions. Has anyone confirmed if ordering the carbon interior option that we will be stuck with the standard aluminum piece on the center vent? I am hoping this was a pre-production error on BMWs part, but who knows given the updated headlights also seem like a step backwards

What aluminum part on the center vent are you talking about? With the carbon interior, it looks like the center vents are gloss black.

Both photo press cars have the issue with the mismatched little piece of aluminum trim above the center vent and below the carbon across the dash, these type of things should not be missed on such a high end model

That's the new ambient lighting strip, not aluminum trim. See below.

He's talking about the trim piece below that with the little triangles. It's an LED strip with ambient lighting.

Kgelfen check your eyes bud no troll here, you all are not seeing it, look where the LED is illuminating below, that is a piece of the standard tetragon trim NOT carbon below the led. There's no reason BMW couldn't have matched that one little piece to the actual chosen interior trim selection, in person it will stand out like a turd in a punch bowl and is making me rethink my interior trim selection

Did they remove the center shifter? Or is this a normal 3 series shown in the pics?

Yeah it's not a G8x - it doesn't have any visible paddle shifters even though it's an auto...

That tetragon piece IS the ambient lighting (it's a textured little ambient light shelf)...look again at the picture I posted!

It's the exact same trim piece whether it's a 440i or an M4! Look before you comment moron.

I'm just laughing at you calling me, a moron. I really dont care about the picture. We post the correct shit in here. Next thing you know, we're letting the 440i guys argue with us, why their cars are M cars.

You make zero sense. Anyways...
