ya X3MC seats are pretty much the same seats as the standard seats in the M3. The carbon buckets are tighter, esp the leg bolsters.

I don't know if I'm more impressed with SPY exterior, or orange interior with carbon buckets. Too bad you can't do both.

Nor'easters can as much rain as snow. Wet roads don't require AWD. One can benefit from AWD trying to get through snowy roads though. Yes, it's doable with rwd and good, new snow tires, but AWD still eliminates a lot of headaches, if one uses the right tires and drives thoughtfully.

bigger issue is ground clearance on unplowed side roads. And if you need to get out of a parking spot after snow plower just boxed you in

Not hating!
Congrats to the OP and looking forward to seeing these in person. But I was also wondering about the rear caliper - this is the F8x version on my GTS, I'm no expert but assuming the new design is chosen for light weight as rear brakes provide much less of the braking force than the front. |

Electric park brake is reason for crappy rear caliper.
The better manufacturers will use a separate park brake caliper & keep the 2/4 pot caliper also. Looks like BMW took the cheap option, I'm sure it works ok as yes the fronts do the majority but it sure does look cheap & nasty.

the rear calipers of the CCB in the new M5 LCI look the same as those on G8x!
