That's a strange comment to me. In all the cars I've ever owned, rented, borrowed, driven or even just sat in, I've never once had my knee come anywhere close to touching the dash. Maybe you need to adjust the seating position.

Nope, it's walknappa on top, merino on bottom...

Sensatec is cheaper option.

How tall are you?

I want those rims in the United States. Not fair.

This is the same leather dash (4M5) configuration as in the F3x. For upper doors in leather, you need to order Extended Leather, Individual Composition or Manufaktur. For Full Leather doors then order Individual Manufaktur.

That must be the knee airbag...

Enjoy the car.

330i Msport, Portimao blue, and lot of options, including leather dash.

Of course car is awesome, I need some time to absorb everything, because it's two classes above my previous F30 318d.

Black leather with white stitching (didn't like blue), 4KA wood trim open pored (turned out excellent!), max size screens, leather dash (looks fantastic), adaptive suspension, Msport LSD...

It's very nice and fast machine, but it's not a rocket. I mean, although i had 318d which was slow as hell, and this is much faster and punchier, there is no "wild" attributes that I can give to this car. I think it's the minimum power any BMW should have.

However, I think that, at least in Europe, it's perfect mix of daily driver, family car and a machine that owner, when in spirited mood, can enjoy. I understand why you guys in USA want M340i or M3. I drove F80 (rented in Munich for one day) and it's a different beast. But this is very well made car, and I think we'll all enjoy it a lot in the next 5 years. After all, it's not only about pure power...

There is one thing I'm really astonished with, though. Laser lights. I didn't know how to turn them on, and I drove last night, and thought "these lights are fantastic, but 600m my ass, they were lying, but awesome lights anyway". And then, one hour later, i realized how to turn them on.

OMG.

It was so shocking, I can't wait that it gets dark outside again. I'm not sure that any video or photo can describe how awesome these lights are on open road, when there are no city lights around. I also don't know are they the same in the USA like here in Europe (partial on-off when cars come towards you etc). But this is by far the feature I'm most impressed with on any car I ever had. I have never experienced night drive like this and I recomend it to everyone who drives at night, whatever the price, take that option.

Harman Kardon sound is one class above F30 H/K, at least. Especially shines because the cabin is so much quieter.

Vernasca is great, seats are great.

Steering is awkward, needs some time to getting used to (VSS) but much better than F30.

All being said, very happy with my purchase. If there are any questions - I'll be happy to answer.

Update:

Sorry guys, last few days have been busy, I'll try to do some pics tomorrow, it's dark outside now...

Ride is actually pretty decent, especially considering RFT tyres. However, i still have Michelin PS4 (non-RFT) on another set of wheels and I might put them on the car, just to see and feel the difference.

Wood trim is great, I hate when all cars have the same aluminum or piano black trims. In reality it's nice, feels good on touch.

About leather dash - yeah, it really looks great, bottom part is also leather, but the doors are no different than standard doors you get with leather interior. That's a bit of dissapointment, especially because the configurator shows the doors with upper part different.

It's a really, really solid car, I would never expect a 3-series to be like this. I would say it's maybe too solid - if someone would give me car like this few years ago and said "here, this is the new 5 series", I would say "oh, nice".

Congratulations on the car!! It looks beautiful in this new color. I'm thinking of either this color or mineral white metallic. My last two bmws were alpine white, so thinking of changing it up. Does this car come with apple car play?

Where oh where was the build?? Aesthetically the auto definitely passes the test

[psuibmw]

Congrats we need more pics

[jwong77]

Congrats! The G20 looks really nice in that color.

Think so. But might not be with the more expensive leather choices from individual

Congrats.

I feel that wood would pair exceptionally well with brown interior.

Interesting. I was under the impression leather dash is an option with Individual or the ///M division. Impressive it's available without that now.

[jackaleyess]

Wow, which country are u from? I cant wait for this beauty to launch in Malaysia.. it takes forever to come here. So envy you guys in Europe and US.

[F22_Matt]

You got me curious so I checked and I have maybe a 3-4" clearance between knee and lower dash. Closer than I had thought actually. I can see how that might not be the case if I were a little taller.

[F22_Matt]

Btw congrats on the car I like the color. She's a beaut 👍

[Deda]

Congrats bro,i saw your car at dealership last friday..and i took few pics..😊
Car looks amazing and color is blast!
One thing i would like to point out,you have mentioned several times that you have one more set of wheels and tires...
You need to be aware that G series(5x112mm) have different bolt pattern then F series(5x120mm)..so its useless.
Good luck and have a nice and safe ride.
