After sitting in it, first impressions:

- Comfort: Definitely cushier. Can tell it's less 'race-car' than the F8X, more about comfort.
- Size: Everything seemed to be sized almost identically to the F80X. Front seat set were nice, perfect headroom, right amount of bolster grab on your ribs and thighs. The back seats were very close to the M3, if not slightly more cramped. They did have a fold down arm rest with a pop out cupholder though, which was one of my only M3 complaints lol.
- Launch Edition: The interior (LE-only grey ultrasuede and ash wood) It looked great in comparison to the F8X and IS 500 black packages. Door cards, seats, etc.
- Infotainment: You be the judge. I'd say it looks very similar to a 2018 M3 setup which is disappointing for a 2022.

*Didn't get to drive it as they're probably scalping heavily for 1/500 LE.

That steering wheel is a chunky monkey
