What are the interiors and technology like in the most recent revision of the M3 and M4?
Decent enough, although the design styles of more recent interiors seem to be a little more angular and horizontal, with slightly larger screens placed closer to the driver. And no digital dash in the f80 gen BMWs, but does have a HUD. The interior does have more of an analogue feel than digital as dials and buttons control everything (does have a touch screen though)
Techwise, no android auto but full wireless CarPlay. Screen is a little smaller than the new premium standard of 10in (8.8"). You can spec a lot of safety tech, parking assist, 360° surround view etc.
I'm suppose the thing that i notice occasionally (mainly since the Mrs has a fully loaded new A class) is it doesn't have much 'flair' or what some folks might call 'delight & surprise'. Everything works perfectly, feels good, lovely leather everywhere.... But it's very 'sensible'
Pretty annoying that BMW don't support android auto, I have no desire to go back to an Apple phone but I use my android auto every time I'm in the car.

I've done exactly this in my F31. Works great with my Samsung phone.There are a few 'hacks' that allow you run android auto, by plugging in a module that sits between the screen and the amplifier, or by buying an upgraded 10in screen that has a full android operating system that you can switch to.
Did you get the screen or the plug-in module? Have considered doing something myself, although Ive been happy using the standard nav and Deezer for music etc.I've done exactly this in my F31. Works great with my Samsung phone.
I fitted a 10.5" android screen. Essentially it's a tablet that integrates with i-drive.Did you get the screen or the plug-in module? Have considered doing something myself, although Ive been happy using the standard nav and Deezer for music etc.

Screen quality is superb, HD YouTube etc is grand, I must check actually and see if it's 1080.Awesome, how do you find the:
Screen quality?
Boot up time?
Does it start in iDrive view?

No orange dials here! Did a vid......I much prefer it over the new 3 series interior, materials are just so much nicer, no squeaks or rattles in mine either
Expensive?M Performance with a BMS exhaust flap controller
Expensive?
I bought mine second hand but Country Garage want £3400 for a new one lol ///M tax is real!
It does sound sweet, cars now with the introduction of these OPF filters are just being ruined. A performance car needs to sound like a performance car.
Has yours cracked yet around the back box weld/joints?I bought mine second hand but Country Garage want £3400 for a new one lol ///M tax is real!

Now now, my OPF car doesn't sound too bad...
Although, I think it IS quieter than the non-OPF version!
