World's first glimpse at 2012 F30 3-series interior

Imola.ZHP · 06-24-2010, 10:15 AM

Wow, while I don't mind and actually prefer the current 1er dash to the current 3er dash (1er seems more e46 to me); I'm not sure that is the route BMW should take with the f3X...

I'm sure it will be great, whatever the outcome is.

You mean it'll come with mats and $hit on the dash?

Ok if you say so then show me the 1 series interior where the key slot look like it does in this picture. You can look as much as you want and it does not exist. This appears to be a combination of both new 3 and 1. Center stack looks like a 1 and the gauges/key area look to be new 3 series IMO.

I also prefer 1 series interior over current 3er. That being said I don't want it to look exactly the same. The current 3er interior is too blocky, flat and simple and needs some curves back with dash angled whichever way.

There's no room for vents on top of dash (unlike the E90) because the screen is in the way so they had compensate by making the dash vents larger.

Ya my thoughts exactly - looks like a combo of new drivers side dash then east of the start/stop button they filled the rest of the car with old 1er stuff

its basically still way to early to see any significant signs of a possible final design ... as long as it doesnt look like a lexus im happy

So let me get this straight... the new 5-Series interior was designed to look like you are in a 7-Series, but the next 3-Series interior will be designed to look like you are in a 1-Series?

That's some shit.

So does that mean all the 7-series drivers have been short changed?

No way, 7 series is 40% better than the 5 series. Just do the "math"

I'm pretty sure that they're testing out a few new feature and design ideas for the F30 but using the 1 series interior as camo. It's entirely possible that they have mixed and matched...

e90fanatic · 08-25-2010, 09:14 AM

i like. but the styling looks more for 6er (or at least more suitable) since everything is huge lol

+1
Looks alot like a 1, but the start button is completely integrated and there is the aforementioned complete circle on the dials. It does have more of an E46 look (which I like) and I am glad they are getting rid of the blocky dashboards of the E90, E60, E65. Now hopefully if you spec it without Nav you lose the dash pod on top, it looks hideous.

james426 · 08-25-2010, 09:33 PM

I don't like it, the leather is hanging off and looks to be stapled in some places

guerilla twang · 08-30-2010, 02:37 PM

fugly.

JLWB3 · 08-30-2010, 04:59 PM

questionable... I was hoping they would be doing something totally different

I agree... they can do much better than this.

Fugly M3 · 08-31-2010, 06:19 PM

I actually used to not like the e9x interior but having had one I love it. it's not as good as the e46 but having iDrive makes life sooo much more comfortable

G35Brian · 08-31-2010, 11:11 PM

Ehh interior looks decent.
