Chuckle...

I finally sat in an M4 coupe.. first thing I noticed was how low you sit compared to the previous 3 series coupe.. thats when my age shouted at me 'NO!'

LOVE the look of the new Coupe.. the best looking 3/4 series I've seen.

The one thing I couldn't get out of my head, and I'm not sure if its because I've seen other people saying it, or because I've got a GC coming that I think has a good interior, or indeed I really thought it.. but the interior feels.. cheap, and plasticy more so than any other 3 series.

Just me?

Did you sit in a car equipped with Full Merino? I've heard mostly positive things for M3/4s with Full Merino.

Shame that you need to spend another whatever that option is to make it feel decent though?

Thought the same. Definitely doesn't feel like a £60k car from the inside. Full Merino is a must - although I think the same applies on the M6 (even though base M6 interior is still a lot nicer than base M3/4) for what is labeled as a near £100k car (although none of us in the UK are paying anything like that of course!)
