This wheel comes from Vossen CVT and VFS1 design combined. It's hell ugly.

Here's the cons about this car:
1) Navigation is still too small
2) Ugly $1500 wheels
3) Not sure about having Folding Mirror feature.
4) Back seat need more space
5) Charging $1100 for moonroof is ridiculous when M4 moonroof is free.

not exactly free, you lose the carbon roof on the M4 with the moonroof
BMW charges you $1200 for 19" wheels
what about making you buy a $4000 option package to get a backup camera and keyless entry

How do the red leather seats look in person? Are they much lighter than the Rioja Red? Thanks!

I'll take moonroof over carbon roof.
I'll take BMW wheels over Lexus wheel. At least, It looks more aggressive wheels.

I agree with you on this part. BMW overprices for these parts.

If I'll buy this car, I'll leave out carbon roof and wheels. Vossen wheels all the way.

I've never noticed before how the sound system face plate looks like it was just layer on top of the console. Look at how it sit's on top of the red portion running up both sides of the console. The sides of the console run uneven with the sound system.

IMHO, it's ugly on the IS and still ugly on the RCF. Looks cheap to me.

how else would the infotainment system be installed, if not from the front?

I think he means how it doesn't follow the angle of the console.

Took delivery on that vehicle Monday December 1st, haven't had much time on the road with it as we are now getting snow. So far an absolutely incredible car. I was interested in that particular colour combination as it was a bit more conservative.

I have seen the RC Fsport wheels and the wheels in question. IMO, the Fsport wheels look cheap. The wheels we are referencing look much better in person.

It's a matter of taste.
