What features do you want to see on the NEXT generation X3M?

Seems that the LCI was hit or miss, depending on owners needs, wants and preferences. Regardless, it seems that BMW did listen to feedback from current owners and addressed several areas for improvement. So - what changes, options, features etc. would you like to see on the next gen X3M?

I'll start - I'd love to see the signature M carbon fiber roof.

1) Bring back the round gauges. But the rest of the line has the semi circles so no chance of BMW going backwards

2) M view in the instrument cluster like the G8x has

3) Remote Start

What M view are you talking about? The LCI has the updated one.

3. More ambient lighting color options like Mercedes.
4. Carbon Fiber roof option.
5. Roof rail delete option.
6. Get rid of the interior piano black everywhere it's a scratch nightmare.
7. Carbon fiber seat option like the M3.

Correct. You only have to hit the rev limiter once to drive home how important it is to have a clear view of the RPMs you’re hitting with this engine.

Some seats that bolster my butt, not my thighs. I like to manspread to give the boys some room.

I agree with wheels. You pay great prices for a car, a performance car, and they come with the most heavy ass cheap wheel possible

Cheap? They're forged. Cheap and forged don't go in the same sentence.

I had no idea the 21" wheels were forged. But I did ready someone post on here a while back that they were. That's good news if they are. I guess 40lbs for a 21" isn't too bad.

I would like a better sound systems & wider tires for sure. Laser light would be great too!

I do but I didn’t have it on. I was merging on a highway and wanted to get in front of a dump truck doing a top speed run as they do in NJ. If I had the MView on the gauge cluster I would keep that as my default. One thing about the S58 it pulls hard to red line. I didn’t feel any fall off until wham! Rev limiter.
