Unfortunately the video commentary is in French, but just watching the process is mesmerising!

The end result does actually look very good!

Really clever, getting 'reflections' from other photos and using styling cues from the latest models. Did try it with English subtitles but he was talking too fast!

He looks like a kiddie-fiddler.

Or LobB

The real thing

Isow · 09-21-2018, 12:17 PM

Not keen on that shade of blue.
I hope the new 3 is available in some exciting colours.

26 seconds in there is a clear shot of the headlights. That looks to me like projectors which would be good news. Can anyone confirm this?

Going to go out on a limb.

White
Black
Blue
Grey
4xBrowns (are brown paints cheap right now? Karin Habib seems to look a metallic brown)
Some MSport Blue in this video

Will they remove any silver like on the 5er?

Individual paint is getting popular

My guess was LEDs because of that horizontal divider, could be wrong though

Yes I certainly expect them to be LEDs. I was just wondering of reflector or projector LEDs. From the picture I think projector. Any view on this?

Not sure but you can see a lot of detail in the film though, it looks good.

I quite like the alu b pillar, although that could just be tape!

They need to get this car unveiled now because I’m currently locked in a major headache over what to do with my current F30. Just release it and let me buy one already!!!

Looks like same as 5 series and X3, projector for low beam and reflector for high beam.

Probably just tape to protect the ridiculously easy to scratch gloss black.

BMW colour chart.
Anyway it’s not just Alpine White, it is Alpine White 3.

TiredGeek · 09-22-2018, 01:27 AM

If wifey would have let me I'd have gone Alpine White for this car, doesn't half make people get out of the way on m ways

Unmarked cars are more likely to be grey or black in my limited experience.

JustChris · 09-22-2018, 03:47 AM

Mirror caps look a bit harder to change / copy M Perf ones.

Wonder if the indicator still dazzles you when in the drivers seat

True, but people see a white BMW 3 coming up fast in their mirrors and jump out of the way, they just seem to assume it's a copper. Any other colour and they just stay there at 71mph...….
It worked with Volvo's when the police used T5, they just assumed white Volvo = Police and moved over

GBR1 · 09-23-2018, 02:54 PM

Is it only me that thinks it looks a bit like the Aldi A4 from the rear??
