You might end up disappointing by the ventilated seats. Not only are they rather dull in their power, but they're incredibly uncomfortable as they are the same seats from the X3 which have been panned for being hard as a rock and having no adjustable bolsters.
This is not true. The seats are a different geometry.
Really? I've sat in both X3 and 3er (non-vented) and they both feel and look the same to me.

2021 BMW 430i  [0.00]
The 2021 3 series, while greatly improved interior design, features, handling and performance, looks from the outside essentially the same as a 2013 model and not even that much dissimilar from a 2006 model. The slight tweaks to the exterior design over the years is on purpose in my opinion--its comfortable and distinguishable as a 3 series BMW.

I like the exterior design of the 3 series but it does lack excitement.

The new 4 series looks bold and radical, primarily because of the controversial front grills. I like the mean new look so I ordered one which will arrive early next month (currently on a ship). When I do, I will post pictures of it and then all you guys can complain about the grills and how ugly it is.

Mine is being painted now. I’m guessing late October delivery. Maybe accessories will be available by then.

Not to me. Everybody in the world watch the grill, talking the grill, from one year. Instead of talking that from the concept to the real car are changed many elements of design; and i'm not talking about the mirror and light, that obviously must pass through the regulations. Now, look this pic of the concept and tell me is the same car of the other pic. The first is a sporty aggressive car, the second is a whale.

Other than shiny chrome, 20 inch wheels, it’s literally the exact same car including length.

Sorry for the rant but it's EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. Anything that mentions the G22 just gets flooded with at least 1/2 the posts just being about how ugly it is or how much it sucks.
IMO the G22 is going to do well, and in a years time all the haters will want to own one! Most ppl don't like change and initially struggle to accept change. Bmw is pushing the boundaries in the design of the G22 unlike all the other German car makers where the exterior design is boringly similar to the prior gen.

Not really. Concept of F32 was identical to the production, not this. Look at the part above the rear wheel, they changed the rib line with a stupid morbid bulge. And there is too car behind the rear axes, ruins the proportions. They completely changed an aggressive sporty car in a Japan designed whale. But everybody talking about the grill, when the only real BMW part of the car is the front.

I got an email from BMW Canada saying they are offering 1% off MSRP if you order in the next few weeks. Never seen a discount on an unreleased car...

On the contrary I think I saw that here were no lease incentives for the 4 series while they exist for other cars. Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong about this

There is no silver colour?! No browns or copper or bronze tones, no proper red (its a sports car no?), no yellow or green. I guess they figured people pay Individual and for 5k get the paint you want, but no silver?! I kinda hoped silver would be a color that saves the front that coupled with chrome surrounds the grilles would look visually smaller. Not easy to check that now. White not a good color. Some dark grey best.

Very interesting as before you went with brighter color on Msport cars to show off the bodystyling. But here it is almost pointless to go for fancier body spec. Get normal car all in black with silver rims is probably the default option.

Wondering when the G22 port installed options list will become available. Anyone know?

I guess they figure if you want those colors you buy the 3. Often the options and standard equipment get better as a model ages so maybe skip the first year or 2

None of those colors are available on the 3er either.

Black doesnt look bad with the blackout option. This was my least expensive build. Why is apple carplay not an option, is this a touchscreen? Will this be available later as a 300 dollar software upgrade?

Edit: I see that it is available as no cost option, nice

Apple carplay has been free for some months now after criticism towards bmw charging for it.

Wait I thought that it was no monthly charge but there was still a one-time buy charge. No?

Should be standard with the car I believe.

It is standard.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility
The new 2021 BMW 4 Series Coupe offers standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility. This benefits already enjoyed by Apple iPhone owners are now available to Android users making it easier to access a large number of digital services from the car in the same way as on their smartphone. These include Google Assistant, Google Maps, music streaming services like Spotify and Amazon Music, and the WhatsApp messaging service.

It looks pretty cool in that color combination

I agree. Shine up those tires and give it a drop and it'll look really good.
