Haha, I'd agree with you on this one. Apples to apples, this is a huge step up in all departments (can't speak for the ride).

What does that mean?

Creaks and noises everywhere.
Also the reliability was poor. If these are not improved then I think it's time to start looking at other marques.

F30 isn't that bad. I like mine quite a lot. I think E9x era was BMW's worst.

I have a white car now and am debating black again, but know they're a pain to keep from looking like steelies.

I had 2 E9xs, 2 F3xs. I like the F3x era far more. Now it looks like G2x will put them both to shame.

Does Sapphire Black M-Sport car come with M Sport seat belt for both front and rear seats? Been seeing that in earlier G20 reviews, not sure if it's available on US specs car.

Agree!

My E90 was the "okayest" car I have ever had

[drexplode]

jet black wheels = micro-scratch city. Soon to be duller than a #2 pencil after a SAT test.

As far as I know yes with the Cockpit Live Plus, the center screen is as large as with the Cockpit Live Professional but the screen landscape is smaller, like putting a 19” inch monitor in the housing of a 21” inch monitor.

Cockpit Live Plus:

In Belgium this is not included in the M Sport pack and it is option with code 4GQ for 252 euro excluding 21% VAT.

I'm on my second F32, first one was a lemon that gave me so much grief, it was a painful experience.
Second one is better but still has niggles and crappy build quality.
Will wait this time and see, won't go for an early build again.

Are those hips I see???

I think it's a lottery. My current 340i was built in South Africa and it's been the best.

My worst was my German built E90 back in 2007. I think they replaced the windshield fluid pump in that thing 3 times Also one out of every 40 times shifting into reverse would result in an iDrive error screen. They never found the cause...

[Madvillain]

that lexus rear only looks good in dark colors otherwise disgusting. could bmw badge and people would think its a kia or lexus or some other cheap junk. f30 looks alot better exterior wise.

[kingmonkey8]

Both my cars were built in Germany...
That's what I mean, there is no consistency. There always seems to be some niggling issues.
You just don't expect that for a 40k plus "premium" car.
I get envy sitting in Toyota's that have a more solidly built cabin.
Mine will creak when just pulling away from a standstill.
I have some low level high pitch noise coming from my passenger side and a rattle when stopped with drive engaged.
My first one was even worst. Had a vibration problem that never got fixed.

[GOLFFRR]

black on black looks pretty sharp with that brown interior.

[spuntyb]

God that front end...

Liking the cockpit though

Yep, as does the trend of nice wheels that are colored black; making the details on them impossible to see.

Saw black saddle brown combo in showroom today when I was picking up plates. Those gloss black wheels look great . The inside upgrades are top notch and the BMW m steering wheel feels better than my 16 f80...

Awesome interior
