Price = CLA45 AMG territory.
Just as I predicted.

First mod every fanboy will make: removing the 3, 5, and i off the trunk lid.

Love the front! I always thought the E82 looked good, this is a step up definitely. The rear is ok, M Sport is not bad, the Modern Line rear will take some time to adjust too. I like how they made the taillights LED though.
What I don't understand is, why are the mirrors black and Ferric Grey? Looks odd, very Audi like, except Audi's is like a brushed aluminum (and I think Audi pulled it off better, even though I don't like it). Also, how do you open thee trunk with that taillight design? Very curious to see how it's done. I find on the M-Sport, the rear diffuser is a little plain, I liked the 135i rear diffuser better: ![]() Otherwise, awesome car. Love the fact they have all those M Perf additions, especially the limited slip diff. Good job BMW, hopefully it drives as good as an E46 ![]()

For the Aussies:

I doubt it. BMW is stuck being a luxury brand in the US. If your average American goes into a BMW dealership and sees cloth seats, they'll think it's for poor people or something.

Wow, just one positive after the other. This car is now very much on my radar as replacement for my E90 M3. All the performance options listed are exactly what I hoped for and are essential IMO. And a "short throw MT", nice.

I really liked it when I first saw the pics and its growing on me every time I look at them... Can't wait to see it in a few different colors. I feel like Black with Red interior could be the direction I go with it.

What's the difference between the Adaptive M Suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers and M Performance Sports Suspension ?

How sweet would that look with flared fenders and a power dome (M2)

Yup. 335 F30s have that as well. If you look at the F30 Tech specs, it is also has a dry sump tranny. Not sure who made the trans for the F22 though.

MECHANICAL limited slip?!?!
![]() I think they realized that yes, this does mean something to enthusiasts. I thought they were adamant only full blown M series would have a MLSD. The 'retrofit' term unsettles me. If they are simply stating it can be ordered from the M performance catalog and installed post delivery and not factory... $$$$$$ |
