I don't want to clutter the forum with many threads, so anything I'm noticing that there isn't already a thread about it I will put it here.
(1) I read about the windscreen of i4 been double-glazed (acoustic glass) but not a single mention about the side windows front or back. Not even acoustic glass for the front windows as an option.
(2) The M steering wheel seems (and AFIK is) thicker. I remember some years ago when I driven an M car, that my ...thumbs were "tired" after a few hours of driving it, (which surprised me back then).
Also Matt Watson (carwow) when he was testing the iX3 (I think) said "What an excellent steering wheel. BMW should put that to every car. Not like the thicker M steering wheel".
(3) iDrive 8 doesn't seem to have any new functionality over the iDrive 7. I mean nothing useful or significant. But obviously they could add things later on.
(4) Also I don't think that the large screens will look so large when we see them in person. Plus the A/C buttons are occupying a significant part of the bottom of the right screen making the (i think) small height even smaller. (Maybe they auto-hide or something, but then it will be even more difficult to access them)
(5) Also the whole A/C menu seems too complicate to operate while driving (please don't tell me about the "Hey BMW!" feature)
(5) The removal of the Memory buttons.
(6) No massage seats (just saying...) Also no ventilated seats available in my country that might be really useful in the summer (other colder countries have it as an option).
(7) Not sure about the instrument cluster's "angular" design.
