Geneva 2012: F30 328i M Sport (Updated with Video)

x5mad · 03-10-2012, 12:37 AM

The badge looks straight to me.

Im afraid you're being mislead by the wide angle lens. Look at the 'M'' in BMW, it is dead centre. If you run a line from the M down it will bisect the grilles dead centre. It only looks that way as I said due to the wide angle lens.

They should have chosen an actually pretty woman to stand next to this F30.

hks786 · 03-10-2012, 08:42 AM

I really like the F30 M-sport.

e92mods · 03-10-2012, 10:04 AM

I have been waiting to see this.

C.saint · 03-10-2012, 11:07 AM

that has to be one of the best blues in BMW's lineup

Weird Side Effect · 03-11-2012, 04:25 PM

Love it. I'll be getting the 335 version. This car + CCW's with an aggressive offset + lowered = my next BMW.

lets be honest: the colour is great but who the hell would REALLY buy it.
its just too flashy and a bit unpresentable imo...

As someone with a British city as a user name, and a Germany listed as their location, I'm surprised at this. I've noticed that generally, the more rain and gloom a place gets, the more likely people are to buy brighter colored cars. I've lived in Frankfurt, Dallas, London and Southern California and find that sunny places tend to have lots of black, white and silver cars, and less sunny places are where I see fun colors.

My old car was Imola Red, and I'll likely get Estoril on an F31, so I like to buck my observed trend.

I had a Le Mans Blue E91 M Sport Touring, I was expecting Estoril Blue to be too light/bright, however after seeing it in the flesh at Geneva, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Shame I couldn't look inside the car.

The photos seem to be a good respresentation of the colour under the lights of the show.

I live in Woking BTW

Cant wait to get this car!!!!, the waiting is killing me and I am so tempted to by a sport line right now!

Enkur · 03-19-2012, 02:23 PM

Same here buddy It's doing my head in. I went to the dealer twice to check out the car and boy the sports line looks good! Hang in there we all are! 3 more months..!

M.Suka · 03-28-2012, 12:43 PM

Yeah I know if I buy the sport line I would just end up buying the M tech kit for it, so the wait will be worth it.

jtuds · 03-28-2012, 01:03 PM

As much as I'm looking forward to the release of the M Sport package, I am not looking forward to finding out what it'll cost, and potentially have to make a want/need decision based on the potential of the car costing over $70,000....for a vehicle without leather.

I tend to agree with you.

I was all set to wait for the M Sports Package but if my car enters the $70K price tag, I might as well get an M3 instead.

I will most probably end up with a 335i Sport Line OR IF I CAN WAIT, I'll check out the 328i M Sports as that might be a little more better priced.

Either way, with taxes I might still hit the late $60K or early $70K.

SMGFTW · 03-28-2012, 02:59 PM

Can't imagine paying $70k for the M-Sport honestly (or any non-M BMW) The M-sport package on the 5-series is $4,800....so it seems like a decently equipped M-sport will be $55-57.

A lot of coin for a 3-series...
