Here is perhaps the best official F30 3 series video we've seen yet from BMW. The various model lines (Imperial Blue Metallic Luxury Line, Melbourne Red Sport Line, and Mineral Grey Modern Line) look great in motion. Be sure to check out the video directly below.

Excellent viewing; I'm still waiting for the awesome F32 videos

DrivenByE30 · 02-06-2012, 04:59 PM

I just came back from lunch, and i saw a Modern Line 328i Imperial Blue in the vacinity area of Lake Forest, it might be heading to Irvine BMW or Crevier BMW ....

the car looks nice, but to the untrained eyes, no one would see it in the street...
it looks just like any other BMWs...

I like that...

PS: great pictures above !! Lucky those drivers who get to enjoy the car on those scenic drives before anyone else! Soon it will be my turn with the ED. Hopefully i can return with looks of photographic memories.

Im in a tennis match right now with this new model. This video makes it look really really good, although viewed from my iPhone. Once I'm home I'll view it again. Nice job though BMW

Andrew@IND · 02-06-2012, 05:46 PM

Those interior photos are mouth watering

dos · 02-06-2012, 05:54 PM

I think the F30 looks great. The more I see it, the more I like it. When it first appeared I gave it a solid "meh".

DrivenByE30 · 02-06-2012, 06:13 PM

Love at first sight for me! The day it was revealed last october...
Had to put down for an order immediately as it was made available last november...

Eagerly awaiting further instruction from BMW to finish paper work and pick it up in April!

No single bit of hesitation in the whole process... i know what i want!

SomeRandomer123 · 02-06-2012, 06:22 PM

The Modern interior is ghastly but the Sport and Luxury - I'd tap that!!

2wheels4me · 02-06-2012, 06:23 PM

I'm getting more and more used to and even liking the red stripe in the Sportline dash. Nice sound from the 335 Luxury.

anon1M · 02-06-2012, 06:31 PM

That line across the hood isn't so bad on the black car... but I feel like it draws attention from the rest of the colors.

09BlkSapphire · 02-06-2012, 06:34 PM

Awesome video! Car looks good in all the lines in motion damn.

red-sauerkraut · 02-06-2012, 07:04 PM

Nice

bl@ster · 02-06-2012, 07:54 PM

Hot video!

90degreeman · 02-06-2012, 08:00 PM

Is the Modern line shown in Mineral Grey? It certainly doesn't look like Havana Metallic which has been mostly associated with the Modern line.

As someone said earlier, mouth watering video... fantastic production quality. A shorter version of this video should have aired during Super Bowl yesterday...instead of those mildly funny ones.

bimmerjph · 02-06-2012, 08:00 PM

Wow that exhaust sounds amazing.

iwannabimmer · 02-06-2012, 08:08 PM

Is it me or does Mineral Grey look more and more like Space Grey with every new picture/video I see?

Agreed. Looks very much like space grey here. But you would never mistake the two colors in person.

I think it's how these photos were post-processed / touched up.

Can you chime in on how Mineral Grey looks in person? Is it a darker color than Space Grey? Are there any pictures that best represent that color? And finally, how do you assume it would look during Chicago's Winters?

GmoBmw · 02-06-2012, 08:25 PM

Looks Pretty sick. Love the Sound.

RR80 · 02-06-2012, 08:27 PM

I really love the way that the sport and modern got the same color head liner to match the interior. Is that still an option?

I think the photos we took at the US press launch are pretty accurate - http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=642936

Yes, it's definitely darker than Space Grey. I've never owned a medium-dark grey car in winter weather, but I'd imagine it should look with some winter/salt grime on it.

Alpine390 · 02-06-2012, 08:47 PM

how come the red sport line doesn't have black mirror covers.
