First official look at iDrive 8 curved screen on M3 / M4 LCI facelift

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/all-models/...ighlights.html

Quote:
BMW Curved Display and Innovation Package for the BMW M3 Sedan, M Graphics for the BMW M4 Coupé.

BMW Operating System 8 and the latest generation of BMW iDrive, including BMW Curved Display, will also be standard equipment for BMW M3 Sedan models from July 2022. The four-door high-performance sports car can also be optionally equipped with an Innovation Package, a Wireless Charging Tray for suitable smartphones, a Personal eSim, an instrument panel in Sensatec finish and M interior trims in Aluminium Rhombicle Anthracite. The BMW Individual paint finish Frozen Pure Grey metallic is also available as a new colour.

A further way of highlighting the performance character of the BMW M4 Coupé models even more intensively is provided by the new M graphics for the engine compartment and luggage compartment lides. The contour lines in high-gloss black and the BMW M GmbH brand logo on the engine compartment give the exterior of the vehicles a particularly expressive touch.
and for good measure here's a screenshot from the UK configurator, now live with the new updates:

It doesn't look bad to me. It looks like everyone that not getting a build until July, is getting new screens.

And I'm more interested in what this is? Let's see this? Is this on the UK configurator? I'm going to go see.

That's the goofy painted on stripes we've seen using the new paint process. In my opinion, they do not look good.

I don't hate it as much as I thought I would but I still don't think it belongs in an M. Save the massive iPads for the EV cars. What mostly annoys me is the HVAC controls being on the touch screen now. I'm too OCD and hate touching screens because of all the smudges/finger prints and now you'll have no choice.

Since I'm back to 105 for the 4th time I'll just assume I'm getting a MY23 at this point. I wonder what the price increase will be for the US. Guess I have some decision making to do soon

Everyone on the forums is so quick to hate on every new move BMW makes, first it was the grills and now everyone is impatiently waiting for a car. Next it's ID8, which will make ID7 look outdated in a couple years. Just like the G80 makes the F80 look "old." Nobody is used to it, lol…

This response is just as trite as what you're responding to haha. I appreciate what you're saying but not all progress is good and people can certainly have valid criticisms of the new design.

That outdated iPad will never make the MY21-22 ID7 look outdated.
Not everything is better just because it's new.

If they integrated the screen properly into the dash , I would've been all over it as many others with taste.

Full leather seems to be a requirement now visually to make the new dash look better.

Criticism is fine, but if someone doesn't want to buy the car because of it, the next person will. Just like how hardcore F80 fanboys till this day claim the G80 will never look as good, there will always be a customer for every car. Most people are either experiencing buyers remorse or it will take time to get used to. That's all it is

The curved panel looks outdated already tbh. id7 looks more 'advanced' bc it has proper integration with the design intent of the interior. It looks purpose built. The software is maybe a step forward, but the aesthetic is already a generation behind the curve.

I started tentatively cross shopping an RS3 with the M3... It doesn't have this type of display and looks futuristic af on the inside.

I'd like to see an angle from the side, hopefully this doesn't have the same ugly kickstand thing.

To your point, I don't think this is going to hurt sales at all.

I love the current interior on G8x cars. I see it as the pinnacle of a high tech, modern layout that maintains some of the classic design language we have all know for years. The new, long screen definitely destroys that language, especially how BMW has elected to not really "build it in" and instead "add it on top".
