I know you're out there... - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

Lrscpa · 04-07-2012, 10:20 PM

...yet I still have yet to see an in the flesh F30. And I live <10 mi. from BMWNA HQ.

Go figure.

ric124 · 04-07-2012, 10:28 PM

I have seen 4 in the wild only 1 sport line so far, in the Miami area.

svache · 04-08-2012, 12:14 AM

Nope, haven't seen one in the wild either.. people tell me they're there but so far nothing yet.

M.Suka · 04-08-2012, 12:14 AM

I have only seen 1 in NYC so far and I drive to work everyday.

PrinceBarin · 04-08-2012, 01:00 AM

I saw my first one last week. A white 320d ED in Birmingham, UK. It escaped into a car park before I had time to get a proper look at it.

I've seen about 50 but only 5 or 6 on the road. All but two were black 320ed's. The others were a Melbourne Red 320d Sport and my Senior Sales Executive's Imperial Blue 328i Luxury. All of which were parked or going the other way, so only quick glances!

Shuttlegoose · 04-08-2012, 08:24 AM

I've seen 2. A white base model parked in Princeton U in mid february, then one more parked at a wawa in montgomery county pa. Other than that, nothing!

SCBimmerKid · 04-08-2012, 08:50 AM

I haven't seen any roaming around on the road. I want the first one I see outside of the dealership to be mine

MaX PL · 04-08-2012, 08:52 AM

I havent seen any but did get one confused with a f10 from afar. Then again, it was near my local BMW dealer so it was perhaps a test drive of a f30.

Lrscpa · 04-08-2012, 09:01 AM

...maybe because most of us here in Northeast US get XDrive?

nexusonemeover · 04-08-2012, 09:36 AM

If a tree falls in the forest...

jgrasty · 04-08-2012, 09:46 AM

I still haven't seen one, except the one I'm driving.

engstrom · 04-08-2012, 10:08 AM

jgrasty, I haven't seen any either in the Dallas area except the couple at BMW of Dallas. We should be picking up my wife's car next Saturday so there'll be one more out on the roads.

I wish I could say that!

I've seen 2 on the road, about 10 at different dealers, but I don't have one...

simianspeedster · 04-08-2012, 12:58 PM

I've only seen one F30 in Southern California which is otherwise 3 Series mecca.

bimmerjph · 04-08-2012, 03:50 PM

I haven't seen any on the road yet. I only see them when I am at the dealership.

Ryan9095 · 04-08-2012, 04:41 PM

I haven't seen any on the road in South FL! Can't wait for mine to be here! /sigh

Peach · 04-08-2012, 04:44 PM

I saw one on the freeway and chased it. MG sport I think. This was the first I've seen.
SoCal

David328M-Sport · 04-08-2012, 05:22 PM

Nothing yet, except for the one I test drove a month ago. I have been looking. I remember seeing my first E90 (not mine) on the road apart from test drive cars. I got very excited and somewhat jealous at the same time. I expect this to happen again with the F30.

Raspartan · 04-08-2012, 09:03 PM

I've only ever seen one here in Toronto, in a restaurant parking lot as I was walking back to my car. The kicker is, it was a mineral gray Sport Line just like the one that I'm waiting for. Made my evening, but so far the one and only sighting.

G_Metric · 04-08-2012, 09:09 PM

I have seen 1 red one and my sons in the driveway.

Photoman · 04-08-2012, 09:22 PM

I've seen two in the Markham area... A mineral grey luxury and a Black 335i sport line that parks at Centennial GO Station.
