F30 & the Detroit Auto Show

pogodog · 11-28-2011, 02:52 PM

Does anyone know if the public will be allowed to sit in and get a real feel for the new 3'ers at the Detroit Auto show in January? Or are the new F30's going to be on a revolving stage that you can only look at?

Same question here. Planning on driving up from Cleveland to see it, as the F30 will not be at our show.

I went to the Detriot auto show to sit in the 1M. No problem.

I also went to the NY auto show to get more info and sit in it again. No problem.

I ended up not buying and waiting for the 2 coupe or 4 coupe.

Detroit will have full public access. I'll be there during Press Week, and I'll post a ton of pictures, unless BMW is sending the same show cars it's already shown in Europe (the blue, red, and brown cars).

I'm assuming they'll be US spec, and hopefully new colors we haven't yet seen on the F30...fingers crossed.

I don't think it'll be a problem. Just don't shit on the seat or fart next to the models. They frown on that.

Same colors- launches are planned that way. Unless something is damaged during transport.

You will also get to see the US spec front bumper (for US plates) cover for all lines is the same, inserts are only different.
