I am pretty curious what the F32 will look like.

(I played around with PS a bit, I am a noob bare with me )

I totally agree. I drove the E90 (same interior as the E92) for quite some time and I'm got bored with the retro BMW interior. Nothing much to look forward than it's conventional speedometer and the rest of the dials. The C Coupe caught my attention on a few interiors. Here goes...

1. The seats are shifted automatically to the front by lifting the lever with one finger. (Notice the E92 have to bang back and forth to get it mechanics clicked and press that forward-backward button).
2. The C Coupe speedometer is cool. It's no longer a long needle from the center point . It wraps around from the side, moves pretty smoothly.
3. LCD in the middle of the speedometer makes so much sense. E92 LCI is still digital matrix display with limited colors - oh gosh!
4. Handbrakes always get in the way on my BMW. Please don't tell me you guys use them for drifting. Have you ever done it? C Coupe places the brakes in a more sensible area. Smart thinking!
5. Why does BMW even bother to have Automatic Ventilation System (the button that has circle with an A in it). It doesn't freaking work fast enough to close the vent on time before the odor goes into the cabin. C Coupe never bothered making that function - good on you and save my money
6. C'mon BMW. Coupe seats no longer deal with head rests with two metal bar forks shove onto the top. It reminds me of my Dad's shaggy old Mitsubishi Galant - the first ever head rest was invented in that era.
7. The seat adjustment at the door really makes sense. Gone are the days I have to second guess how the motorized seat buttons works by touching them at the bottom seat.
8. Can anyone please explain why you need to pay an arm and a leg for an "active steering" feature in the BMW where the C Coupe comes as standard "parameter steering". It's the same shxt...for free!
9. Run flats on the BMW are really awesome but does anyone know what's the price to pay for changing out the tires? Geez I don't want to tell you guys but you'll find out in due course.
10. I once read somewhere in an article- Once you close a Mercedes door, you get a "thump!" sound, you know you are safe - The sound of confidence. BMW? Just another sporty look car with performance, I like it too. I slam the door...

Hence, I sold my bimmer and went a little older with that circle and the star branding. I'm still waiting for the C Coupe delivery. I'm just a noob too. Please excuse my personal opinion if I offend anyone.

how about a front end compare but with a Msport front end? I think that would be a bit more fair...the MB has a rear diffuser and aggressive front bumper. might as well pick the 3 that matches

Wow now when I look at the C all I think of is the accord coupe

I have to say I do not like the lci at all, so it's hard for me to compare.
Further, the specs are not comparable, so it hard to look at the two side by side.
Msport would be better choice for exterior comparison.
