Spotted a 2012 F30 3-Series at The Ring today
Reported on BIMMERPOST HOMEPAGE.
I came across it coincidentally when I was at the M testcenter in Nürburg. It was a 4 cylinder diesel version, judging by the sound of it. Follow full Bimmerpost F30 coverage: http://www.bimmerpost.com/?s=+f30 Last edited by iPhil; 09-06-2010 at 05:59 PM.. |

Great shots, and thanks for sharing!
We've never seen those wheels before, and it looks like the wheel/fender gap has been reduced vs. other photos. |

One other thing I noticed with these newest pictures, is that the front (and rear?) brakes seems smaller than on that mule first spotted in Nov. '09. I'm think both sets of wheels are 17". What do you guys think? |

Yes they are smaller, as the OP said, this is likely to be a 4cyl diesel. The bigger brakes were on a 6cyl model, perhaps the like a 335.

It looks big. Any speculation on size compared to the e90?
These 3's keep growing to e39 or even e60 5 series proportions while the F10 dwarfs its predecessor. I guess increased size yields more model room for the 1 and, ultimately, an even smaller city car but the expansion of the 3's dimensions need to slow at some point, right? |

Just a part of the camouflage cladding. Not indicative at all of what the real tail lights will be.

Maybe the 3 series, which keeps growing will become an exclusive model for the US and it's growing people.
