I almost went with mineral grey but since I have a F20 in MG/CR combo I felt I needed a change and went with AW/CR instead for the F32. I know you liked the red interior but at any time did you feel there was too much red given it extends to the lower half of the dash?

Can you provide your impressions of the steering when compared with your E92 M3? Different classes & generations of cars as one is an M and the other is not however a lot of folks have negative feedback on the steering of the F30 so curious on if you feel BMW got this right on the 4 series? Will you call it a work in progress or as good as (or close to) your M3?

I did not think the red was too much at all. Then again I really like coral red. i think it looks totally classy. The lower 1/2 of the dash is of good quality. it does not look cheap at all.

As for the steering wheel, that is the first thing i noticed. The feeling is completely different and less direct. It is still accurate but just doesn't feel as directly connected as the e92. Also, i read but can't compare as i never drove a f30. The f32 from what i understand has improved steering. It's def. not as close to the M3 but after few hours of drive, you tend to get used to it and think less of it as the car does so many things well. That becomes a little detail IMHO.

The AW/Coral will look amazing. Congrats and enjoy it in good health.

Thanks again Raja. Have a good one and great health to you and yours.

Thanks, we are moving and should be in our new house early next year.

What are you complaining about? Just curious.

GOLFFRR · 08-30-2013, 08:02 AM

Awesome! Sounds like a plan

Raja Ventureshield · 08-30-2013, 11:10 AM

also, can you tell me how I can get individual coloring for our car? Is this something your dealer can help with or will have to go through the individual program?

So excited.

i need that car and it drives me crazy to wait half a year...

BrazilianBimmer · 09-04-2013, 01:26 AM

This is GENIUS advertising!
Can you imagine how much BMWNA saved by doing this instead of advertising the m4 on the media such as tv?
...Even taking into account the amount of money they spent flying the documentary people, track instructor...etc..etc..genius!
Even a billboard on the side of the road would probably have cost them more...

well, i have never bought a car from looking at a billboard. So that is surely waste of monEY iMHO. This was clever way of them advertising and re-invigorate my love for the brand.

In that case, 4 series looks very promising but don't count out the 2 series with some powerful engine. M235i Grand Coupe renderings look good !

I am thinking next Summer or Fall.

Raja,

Just got a F30 335. Your opinion is 435 is great. Worth it to trade in F30 for F32?

Nice. the 335 is an awesome car with the same engine. It comes down to the taste, I like the coupe better as it's more sleek. but if you have a nice 335 with M-sports package then probably not worth it from the financial side. I love the 4 series and felt it was a solid built car.
