3 and 4 series explained

gromit2468 · 03-10-2015, 06:35 PM

Tired of explaining the intricacies of F30-F36 to my friends, I made this to help explain!

Tengocity · 03-10-2015, 06:40 PM

That's brilliant! I've watch it go round about 10'times now!

Can u do it again for me in Mineral Grey please?

Thanks

teaston · 03-10-2015, 06:53 PM

Quality!

Could you do it with just the 3 saloon & 4GC?

gromit2468 · 03-10-2015, 07:09 PM

I'm not sure the scaling between 3-series, 3GT and 4-series is completely correct, but there we go:

(mineral grey is a bit harder as I'd have to go and do all the "build-a-car" stuff on the BMW website again!)

FSE23 · 03-10-2015, 07:19 PM

Brilliant

I really like it

Tengocity · 03-10-2015, 07:26 PM

It's shows well how the 3 series offers something for everyone's lifestyle.

Also, why the tourer looks best!

But the GC is a good looking machine too.... I do hope they make an M4 version of it too.

I think you'll find the 4 coupe looks best, touring second

MWA · 03-11-2015, 01:37 AM

Amazing work! Would love a to see s similar comparison between the 4 and the M4?

SkyJawa · 03-11-2015, 02:40 AM

Nice job

gr4z · 03-11-2015, 02:42 AM

Wow cool. Just look at the difference between the GT and the GC! Its so small

JustChris · 03-11-2015, 02:58 AM

Cool, just convinced myself again that my car isn't huge!

zofinger · 03-11-2015, 03:06 AM

Thanks and well done.

The Tourer Looks Best If You Wear All Black In Your Day Job....

Thanks, but you are right the scaling is wrong, the 4GC is actually 14mm longer than the 3 saloon, but looks shorter in this.

dubdemand · 03-11-2015, 06:35 PM

If you could get the size the same for the 3/4 it would be absolutely brilliant - very good as it is though

gromit2468 · 03-12-2015, 04:20 PM

Scaling sorted now using wheelbase.
3 and 4 series all have the same wheelbase, se are easy
3GT has 110mm longer wheelbase, so scaled on that basis
