I do agree with your opinion about the steering wheel. I like it, but without the blue embedded in it. Also, does anyone now if the ///M stripe colors are going to find themselves in the US leatherette option? (See initial photo of the seats, and you'll see the three colors in the back stitching between the side bolsters and back cushions). |

Just saw those pics of the Mazda and Mustang wheels.
Um... What is it with our US companies? Those wheels look like satellite dishes! I really hope that our companies get their heads out of their collective asses. |

I don't get it. I had a 2007 Miata and 2008 Mazda CX-7 with the same steering wheel, I think it was the most gorgeous of any cars I owned (even better than the flat bottom steering of my 2008 VW R32 and my 2011 BMW 128i). Clean with a nice grip on the branches in active driving, much better than these ugly bloated things loaded with buttons that you see nowadays on new cars.

I do disagree though about the looks. The line looks that straight due to the angle you're looking at it through. Granted, it's not the best idea out there, but I'm thinking that, in person, it will not seem so dramatic. |

US Spec F30 M Sport in Configurator
This is the US spec M Sport. The international configurator can show the US version of the M Sport, or any other line -- just change the configurator image URL "model" from 3A51 (Europe) to 3A53 (US).
The US M Sport front end has unique yellow side reflectors (different than the other lines) and a pad for license-plate mounting. The rear end has a US license plate mounted but otherwise appears to be the same. I set the color to Imperial Blue. Why can't we have an Imperial Blue M Sport? That color looks great on the F10 M Sport. |

US Spec F30 M Sport in Imperial Blue
Sure, here is an example. I'm just referring to the URL of any full-size image you get by using the configurator download icon. In this example, I downloaded an M Sport image then set model=3A53 (US version), color=P0A89 (Imperial Blue, color code A89), and angle=30 (rotated 30 degrees). You can rotate the image to any other angle by changing the 30 in your browser to another angle.

BTW, there is a similar extension (plateau) on the other models but, does not change the shape of the lower opening as on M-Sport. I made a couple of animations to illustrate. |

It doesn't look nearly as bad on the non-Msport. My state doesn't even require front plates :/. Who wants to bet they redesign the front license plate mount in the LCI?

US Spec F30 M Sport in Imperial Blue
By the way, you can change the bmw.com configurator model from 328i to 335i by changing the URL to model=3A93 (US version, shown below) or 3A91 (European version). Note the change to split dual exhaust.

I'm really hoping that front license plate mount comes in the trunk, just like all my previous cars!
