whoa! stunning sports line in alpine white.
and those angel eyes are really bright! I remember seeing a coupe with these at night and you don't need to turn your HID's with these corona rings on. |

We saw an F30 going through paint last week, but all other cars were E90/E91. Nice to see they finally started production on the F3x series! |

I see something near the trunk arm in the pic with the guy working on it posted above that looks like a motor...is the trunk self opening/closing on the F30? maybe that's why they switched the support system around.

I went to Spartanburg, SC to take a tour of the factory. At that time, they were only manufacturing X5 and Z4s in the US. The experience was incredible. The cartesian robotics they use is absolutely mind-blowing. The robots literally fling the entire chassis around.
The car looks amazing in these pics. I never noticed the hood line until now and I cannot unsee it! It does look out of place now |

Yeah, in the press release, it states that the trunk automatically opens up when you stand behind it. It has a sensor that detects the presence of your feet below the bumper. From the press release: Innovative boot access makes life a little easier. BMW ConnectedDrive has come up with another convenience-enhancing feature: the hands-free boot lid opening function – available for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan in conjunction with Comfort Access – is a first in the premium class. Standing behind the car, customers can prompt the boot to open with just a short movement of their foot under the centre of the rear bumper, i.e. without using their hands. The boot then automatically unlocks and swings open by spring force. The vehicle is fitted with sensors placed at different heights in the rear bumper trim, which are able to identify a person standing behind the vehicle. The sensors can identify the foot “command” by monitoring the area of the leg between the shin and the tip of the foot. They then send a signal containing special algorithms to the on-board computer. Access is only authorised, however, if the system simultaneously identifies the Comfort Access control unit (the key), which the person must be carrying with them. The boot lid is then unlocked and raised automatically, without hand contact. Key authorisation provides the safeguard ensuring correct operation at all times.
