Just saw F30 328i in person. - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

I don't know what this company next door does, but I just saw an F30 328i pull into their garage.

It had no badges and camo on the roundel. Looks awesome. I didn't get a pic because I was too stunned.

Headlights, exposed grill, and long sloping hood works!! A big car, I thought it was a 5 series until I saw the front.

Could you tell what line it was?

It was the luxury line from the wheels and silver trim on the windows. I didn't look to see if the hideous front plate holder was installed or not. I was to busy making sure it was an F30.

It had white angel eyes too.

Love those angel eyes...

As I was leaving work, the same dude that happened to be driving the car was also leaving. I stopped him and asked him about the car.

I guess the company helps with training sales people with new cars. He says they are preparing to train people in February.

He says the 4-cylinder is just as fast as the 6.

Just as fast until you tune it! The biggest let down of the n52 was the auto tranny. Can't wait to dump mine and jump in an f30 with the 8 SPd. I absolutely loved that tranny in my x5 35i

Yeah, BMW really needs to come out with a new i6 engine. The are sacrificing 335i, 528i, and Z4 35i until they do.

Even in real life for me these front blinker bulbs are looking weird. I know, these do not affect driving in any way and I am sitting inside of the car, but still... Otherwise it looked stunning.

Unreal that blinkers are not LEDs...every other competitor at least has it as an option...and BMW's LED blinkers are sooo hot...

I agree that you never get to see them as you are always in the car...however...you do get to see it in the reflection of your car from the bumper in front of you and when you lock/unlock the car

Definitely, does anybody know when they are expected to bring a new i6 engine (or at least an evolution of the n55)? And maybe some news about hp, torque, gas consumption etc.?
