Looks like the front bumper will have those chrome pieces like the 7 series, not to sure if like that.

Other than that it looks good!

Looks to me like a trim piece similar to the E92 LCI (see here: http://www.e90post.com/goodiesforyou.../P90054812.jpg).


Best regards,

It just looks like more of the same to me. If it were not any bigger or heavier than the previous car, I might be excited.

Hummm...can't say it's great from these angles, doesn't look "exciting" to me...but can't say it's ugly either.

Things I notice are the hood and rear. The rear deck is so short and angled such that the car almost looks like a hatchback to me but can't say for sure until we see a true profile shot.

The hood could also be a problem...looks quite a bit like a Lexus IS-F, which, IMHO isn't a good thing. Again, hard to tell from these angles. I'm cautiously optimistic but much more interested in the 4-series.

@ Scott26

one more question, will the F30 have the Alcantara/Leather combination as an option for M-Sport package? that would be perfect, as I had that in one car and it was just awesome... and I know that the new 6er has that, so please say "yes"

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

Agreed... overall looks good, better than the f10. Main concern is the wheelbase - looks kinda long, would negatively affect the handling.... hope it isn't too much bigger

Looks definitely like an evolutionary design.

I'm guessing the average person wouldn't be able to tell a e90 from an f30 without being close.

Wonder if f32 will follow the same idea. I'm only saying this because I have a e92

As a few already mentioned here. My realistic review will arrive after seeing and driving the new F-30. These raw photos aren't pushing me towards a dealer to place an order for November so who knows if my review will ever happen. I'm not sold on the f-30. Especially a tri-turbo M3!

Yes the M-Sport Packet will be revealed at launch but go sale in the third quarter of 2012. It will include those M-specific seats found within the 5er and new 1er.

You do realise that the original photographer is in a building, possibly an office shooting a birds-eye view of the F30 - That is why it looks longer and wider . By now I thought people would understand perspectives when viewed from great height?

Looks great from these blurry pics. Overall as expect a baby 5-series. I think I will wait before picking up a C63.
