Build Your Own 2008 M3 Coupe with new i drive

reinaldo335 · 09-01-2008, 10:30 PM

bmw usa just updated their m3 configurator with the new i drive, so this means new i drive will be available in USA?

It would seem so

Good news, now if they'd only update the prices and other options on BMWUSA.com

thats nice. I thought the new idrive was coming to the sedan first for a little while then the coupe later down the road. now I think I will wait a little longer and pick up a used late 08-09M3.

yeah, i was on there yesterday and it wouldn't refresh the picture when i selected tech package (it just kept showing the cupholder), so i knew that something was up. I guess that they were in the process of updating it? they should have changed it to say 2009 M3 coupe instead of 2008. i am also suprised that the LCI sedan is not shown. as far as the idrive goes, we all knew that this was coming, but many were in denial. this is just one more piece of evidence now...still, i'm sure that naysayers will continue to hold out until they see it IRL (which is probably the safest thing with BMWNA).

and what happened with the bet?

I dont think its worth trading in my car for that new idrive.. its a good choice for new owners though.

Try building an M3 Sedan with tech package and look at the front on dash view. It has no tech package and manual (knob) controls for HVAC!! I have done this several days in a row to see if it gets updated. Hilarious.

yeah, i noticed that too. obviously somebody didn't load the right pic. haha.
