Recently learned that the M4 does not have ventilated/ cooled seats!? I don't know might be a deal breaker for me since one of the best thing about driving my GS is the ventilated seats. What was BMW thinking by not putting ventilated seats in a 60k+ car. But then again Lexus didn't put in folding mirrors for the GS.

Don't get me wrong... I like the IS and RC a lot... but I don't get the square radio and A/C controls that look like they were added on aftermarket. The red trim in the RC-F just makes them stand out more.

here in the US, the e9x m3 didn't have ventilated seats, and the ISF didn't/don't have ventilated seats either.

i forgot the details but i think i read somewhere that the rcf in the US won't have ventilated seat option too? someone feels free to correct me

I believe the RC F does have ventilated seats!

Anyone else notice a delay in the tachometer when the engine was revved in the second video? The 3IS tach seems to react a bit quicker. Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me...

is it going to be in the US spec? i think that's the key. but it would be great if they finally put it in for the US market

Also quicker steering and a more pronounced exhaust note...

Not that you really need the S-Flow sensor in a Coupe, but for the price, I kinda want one

That is because of the crappy and shoddy quality of the video. Sound and visuals are out of sync. Yaguchi san had stated it has lightened internals so it should respond and reach redline quicker than the IS-F.

There is a video of LFA where it created the video created a similar effect when in reality, LFA's engine is famous for having the fastest responding production ever made.
