Can you take some close pics of the aluminum trim. The aluminum trim in the 3 series looks and feels cheap.

I drove a new 435i M Sport at my dealer yesterday and the interior materials looked to be very well made.
The car was black on black and had the high gloss accent trim with the aluminum trim.The aluminum trim looked like a quality product to me and suited the sporty set up of the interior.Why do you think it looks cheap?
I was actually impressed with how well the car handled.The electric steering does take sometime to get used to because it seems so much easier to turn the wheel but the suspension handled the tight corners very well.
Unfortunately the car was an automatic,it would have been nice to drive it with the six speed.
The M4 should be a fantastic car.
Enjoy your new car.

I have not seen it in the 4 series. I saw the aluminum trim in a 3 series and thought it felt and looked cheap.

I drove a 435 sport trim and was impressed. I did not think I would like the car that much. I love my e92 and how the steering feels, but now I am looking forward to getting a 435 with the same color/trim combo.

Congrats.

I saw your car in park shore last Friday. Really liked.

Good you ordered 6pd. I have exact same setup 6sp and color combo but 4 doors.

mikemike · 10-04-2013, 02:20 AM

BTW I forgot to say I even took couple pics of your car.

Pang · 10-04-2013, 08:22 AM

Beautiful, great choice on color!

f30nynj · 10-04-2013, 08:32 AM

I think OP is from Vancouver and that's sea-to-sky highway to whistler!

So a 435 gets delivered all the way to western part if the Canada!

Sick ride man! Love this wheels.

dacianvv · 10-04-2013, 04:04 PM

Congrats, nice colour and the machine looks stunning. Good choice! Like it!

Agamemnon · 10-04-2013, 05:31 PM

Nicely done! Picked the same colour combo for my 335i xdrive M sport bought last year. Also great pics on the Sea to Sky highway. I drove it at 5 am in the morning during a weekday in summer - place to myself!

Pentium · 10-04-2013, 06:36 PM

Great car!

Congrats!

Great idea!

Alpine F31 · 10-05-2013, 02:27 AM

Awesome! (of course!)

I love the anodized blue trim on the door panels! I want that in my F30!

lbahoshy · 10-06-2013, 02:54 AM

Beautiful car! Congrats!!

A question regarding your front plate: Is the lower part of the plate cut or folded backwards to fit in the slot in the lower grill?

ejholt · 10-06-2013, 09:58 AM

Congrats!

alexaustin · 10-06-2013, 08:52 PM

You are so lucky you got your car now, enjoy the ride...how much the cost including the options....

Trimmed about 1/4" off the top and then had the bottom of the plate bent. Was around 4 1/2" in total clearance available...

MikeJ87 · 10-08-2013, 09:19 AM

Can you order the black grills through a dealer? I would like to put them on mine when it arrives.

Needs the black grills to complete the look though IMO...

Time to post a video and a review? How does it drive?

ArthurKing1220 · 10-09-2013, 11:23 AM

Thanks so much for making this post -- this is the exact config. I'm thinking of getting (i.e., 435i w./ xdrive and a 6MT).

* Can you give details about the additional power bump M-performance option? How is it done, i.e., is it just reprogramming the ECU? How much did you pay for the option -- I've been looking for a pricing sheet for the M-performance options and haven't been able to find anywhere.

* How do you like the 19" vs. the 18" wheels? I tend to go smaller with my wheel orders because I like to minimize weight to increase performance. However, I"ve heard that there are some rough-running issues with the 18 that are settled by increasing size to 19. Is this true?

Thank you again.
