Could not agree more!! New intakes relate nicely as well.

On balance, the new intakes do add some aggression to the front.
Can't figure out the Shadowline lights though - from the front, anyway, they look the same as the existing lights. |

Very subtle indeed.
Looks like the side/lower part of the projector barrels are dark in the Shadowline lights, and silver in the older style. Maybe there's more to it than that. Would probably need to set one up close. Quote:

Nor is it due to the hybrid module, since the European M240i has the high-powered B58 without electrification. I think it's more of an incomprehensible marketing choice. Last edited by VIERsr; 09-29-2022 at 05:09 AM.. |

It is a product that omits the paint from the previous headlights. |

As a reference point, I created a "build" using the new pricing guide, as closely as possible to my 30i. It came out $2300 more expensive than my 6/29/22 production model BUT includes the HUD and heated steering, both of which I'd like to have but not at that cost. At $200, the heated steering would be a no brainer but I bought a Z4 that was already built and sitting at the port, too late to change the build.
I'm glad to see the HUD is back in the Premium package for the 30i, the M Sport package is included on all models, and curiously that the leather option has decreased from $1700 to $1500. No mention of whether the touch controller is back but that's not something I'd miss. I had it on my '19 MINI Cooper S convertible and, being left handed, never used it. |

The pretty much fully loaded M40i build I'm ordering in the next few weeks actually comes out to be about $600 cheaper if I did my math right, which I will absolutely take. Looks like the big difference maker is that while a few options are pricier, adaptive cruise control went from $1200 to $550 and the Premium Package went from $1900 to $1350.

When considering the options I have always hated the fact that BMW usually puts the HUD in the same package as the heated seats and heated steering wheel. I live in south Florida and will never use the heated seats or heated steering wheel on my car. One of my best friends that owns a 2022 M240i and wanted the HUD and was forced to have the heated options feels exactly the same way. :

It's good for resale!
Just a few degrees of latitude to the north heated seats and steering wheel become useful for top down driving when temps drop into the 60s, which started in the mornings/evenings a few weeks ago. Even mid-day on Sunday with the ambient temp near 70 with some cloud cover, I turned the heat on for both while wearing a sweatshirt & driving with the top top & windows down. Like being on a motorcycle, it can get cold in a hurry! Quote:

Overall I like it; no huge changes which is a good thing IMO as it is already a beautiful car. I like the new grill, not as fussy with the new lower vents but very similar in any case.
