Very interessting statement! For how long did you sit in there? I would love the carbon buckets! But if they are really bad for DD or longer distances, this is a no go. Weird thing, that there are multiple tests out, where the tester said, it is comfortable even on long distances ... just getting in/out is worse.
So, I saw the M3 for the first time in real life today. It was only through a dealer's window, but it was in a spec I think would be on my shortlist; Oxide Grey with the bi-colour multi-spoke rims. I am someone who didn't really have an issue with the grill in photos, and when I saw the M440i in Munich last September, I had bigger issues with the rear view rather than the front. However, as much as I didn't have an issue with the new grill in photos, I also didn't have a big emotional reaction to it either. It was more "meh", than anything else. Well, after today that "meh" has changed to a "yeah".
I think the grill not only looks fine, but I think it looks aggressive in a way that the photos don't do it justice. I think the rims look deeply dished at the rear, which adds to the aggression. It's a hot-looking car. I can only wonder how good the Touring M3 is going to look. It's certainly something I'm eagerly awaiting, and will be trying to justify buying as soon as it's launched.
They also had an Isle of Man Green M4 in the showroom, but I couldn't get a good view of that. The colour does look a lot deeper than the photos, however.
I sat there for just a couple of minutes but the sides of seats are very hard and the seats squeeze you very much ,I don't know if it is because I am a big guy or what (i am 93 kg and 191 cm height). And as you said getting in and out is not easy.Very interessting statement! For how long did you sit in there? I would love the carbon buckets!

May I ask you about your size and BMI of course?
I do like this color very much. Don't know, whether in bright sunlight it becomes too goldish ...
What is weird: Why didn't they offer Donington grey instead? It is also a beautiful M specific color, which is somewhat similar. In the past they only offered Donington for M5, X5M, X6M, ... and I expected it to trickle down also to the new G8x. But now they went for Oxide Grey.
And I would like to see a side by side comparison of Skyscraper Grey and Oxide Grey on the G8x!
I suppose it's the same with a lot of BMW colours. They only make them available on certain models. I do like Donington, but I prefer Oxide Grey. It is never too gold. If anything, in certain light I think it's almost silver. This is how it looks right now as I view it through my conservatory window.
RWD is all anybody has at the moment, as 4WD hasn't been launched yet. Maybe you're thinking of some countries not getting the non-Competition models, like the UK? The Netherlands has both the non-Competition and Competition models.
Why not? Not best of AllWorlDs?
Looks so good ! I saw many M3 reviews and all are positive, it seems BMW nailed this one.So, I saw the M3 for the first time in real life today.

Surely they will have change to pocket?Someone traded in their 488GTB for a new M4, maybe financial problems.
The Germans,Swiss,Italians and Austrians sure do.

That is exactly what I saw in the spy photos and that ended up being much better even in reality, it is a very accurate description, I always waited for something like that, with the historically so characteristic grills, I was begging for something with that depth and aggression that in my head it would be fantastic and they finally had the vision to apply it
