Interieur is mooi, de meest hardcore stoelen tot nu toe in een M3/M4 (uitgezonderd de E46 CSL en F82 GTS) en onderscheiden zich nog meer tov van de sportstoelen van de G20. De kleurstelling van het interieur van de coupe is wat gewaagd, maar je zult ongetwijfeld ook gewoon een zwart interieur kunnen bestellen. Qua rijden en performance zal het ongetwijfeld goed zitten, en zal de nieuwe generatie sneller zijn dan de vorige, maar die neus 
maar hopelijk heb ik het mis. Time will tell.
