New 2012 3 series F30 Sedans Spied, Sports New Wheels
BIMMERPOST NEWS New 2012 3 series F30 Sedans Spotted, Sports New Wheels We bring you more spy photos of the 2012 3 series sedan (F30), in black and space gray, as BMW finishes the final evaluation phase testing on the next generation 3 series sedan. Although the camouflage tape remains on these FEP level prototypes, we've already recently had a great uncovered look at the production F30 front and rear [see these photos if you've been under a rock] in a recent spotting at an F30 official photo shoot. But, these photos continue to give us views at the F30's overall size (expected to be just slightly larger than the E90) and its attractive proportions and stance. The black F30 test car also shows a new wheel style yet to be seen on an F30 prototype. Signs are pointing to an F30 reveal sometime late October/early November at a London and/or Munich venue. The F30 will makes its world public debut at the 2012 Geneva show next March, go on sale in Europe shortly thereafter, and be available in the US beginning Spring 2012. Follow our full F30 coverage at http://www.bimmerpost.com/3-series/f30/ See our F30 spy photo mega compilation thread at http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=524810 For those who missed it, here are the uncovered F30 front and rear view photos for a good idea of what remains under the F30's camouflage. |

Neither of those F30s are matte.

I can see from the last pic from up high and through the rear window that the Shifter will be an electronic one just like on the 5, 6, X5, X6, and 7-series BMWs.

Um, those look like 284 rims:
Just 20 spoke, instead of 15 I think the 20 spoke looks like too much... and will be a bitch to wash! |

Either a 318i or 320d.
In the meantime. Possibly not the last time on film. But there is another surprise in this video for the first time. http://www.automobile-magazine.fr/me..._3/bmw_serie_3 |

Wheels look pretty lame IMO.
Center stack is very VW/Honda Civic like, ugh. Was hoping for a 5 like stack. Exterior styling is the best thing on the car though. |

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that the interior spy pics that were seen there aren't an actually representation of the production interior. I don't remember when I read this, but if I recall correctly it was just a bunch of leftover parts cobbled together from a few different prototypes. OR it was the interior from the F20 1er that they just put in the F30 for testing. |
