It is more about the type of driving: aggressive vs casual.

A lot relies on factors like driving style, boost, cool downs and oil changes.

The Turbo's lifetime will vary from 100k to 200k depending on your driving habits.

I don't like the concept of changing a 3000$to 6000$ turbo when it breaks down.

The heat generated by turbos is definitely going to be a factor in oil longevity. I think the 15K changes are already pushing fantasy time and turbos will exacerbate this. For those leasing and dumping the car after 36K miles, meh, but for the rest of us who may want to keep the car for ten years or more, more frequent oil service should be strongly considered.

I still think that all the EU pedestrian safety regulations make's the hood look huge from the side. At least the 335i looks nice from the front.

MazdaFan · 06-02-2011, 02:04 PM

I have a hard time believing this is a clean sheet design. There is a good chance that it is a heavily revised current platform.

Can't wait to see the coupe...

philip · 06-05-2011, 03:59 PM

Will it look kinda like this crappy produce I've made?

Pentium · 06-07-2011, 11:54 AM

The car I'm waiting for

stunning photos!

SCOTT26 · 06-07-2011, 02:23 PM

You might see it as soon as you think. My colleague tells me that amateur photographers have been seen at the car's photographic location in Vitoria , Spain.

The car moves onto Cape Town, South Africa next.

Some latest renderings.... Some "fact" in amongst the "fiction".

MassBimmer · 06-07-2011, 02:33 PM

I pray the rear doesn't look like that in production...it's an exact mirror of the F10 design

I can't stand the F-series grille and headlights. Maybe it'll grow on me, but I think it's ugly.

karmsidhu · 07-26-2011, 07:25 PM

still think the older ones are nicer, the e92s especially.

vasillalov · 08-10-2011, 01:29 PM

Waaaait a minute! Is this the BMW 335i performance brakes being tested:

DannyITR · 08-11-2011, 11:15 AM

My main concern is if BMW will downgrade front and rear turn signals to incandescent bulbs instead of keeping the LED that the sedans currently have. Honestly aside from HID headlights, LED turns signals are the mark of a quality high end car. They look ten times better, are more visible and more efficient that bulbs. If they downgrade I'll be really pissed.

NGuyadeen · 08-17-2011, 01:24 PM

This is Such a Amazing car cant wait till my lease is up to get this bad boy Thats for the Mega Compilation of Photos

Really? That's your main concern?

The orange tape is camouflage, but there will be integrated LED blinkers underneath, as seen in these uncovered pics - http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=572138
