Now my 335xi, 135i and now m3 are all within 1 year of each other so I can't really tell what's new. But from what I've read, other than the nav - not much.
Enjoy the new car, glad you got out of the Tbone. With a BMW it's expected, but still!

A few different things on the first day -
1) The car runs a lot hotter than the 335i? I was slightly over 210 degrees and it was 65 outside tonight. The 335i never passed 210.
2) The car roars nicely at around 3k RPM. I feel like I need to shift to the next gear (grandma driving) and then I realize that I am only at 2200 - 3000 rpms and I smile
3) I need to learn all about "M" mode. I plan on going through the manual in the next few days - I have no clue about DCT / Power button or any of those marvelous buttons. I just know I like to go fast
