Air Breather/Air Curtain Advanced Aero System Revealed for First Time on Next Gen G30

Like its big brother G11 7 Series the Next Gen G30 5 Series will incorporate the Air Breather/Air Curtain system for better aero around the front wheel wells. Again...this car has been shot countless times and No One has picked up the new aero system on the new G30. Always stick with PalBay SpyShots. Thanks. PalBay

I don't see how this is news, it's shown in the g30 spy thread.

Huge news. The Air Breather has " Never" been specifically identified/denoted/highlighted in any G30 Spy Photos until my shots. Sad for a Major System upgrade/addition to a Next Gen vehicle. Regards

Renderings are pure speculation/wish list....SpyShots when correctly analyzed are Fact Based Real Deal information. Regards

These spy pics was pretty hi-res and you can clearly see the vent. The render was based on pics from this set.

You have made my original point in my first post.....G30 shot many many times....and until my deep Spyshot analysis...not one publication/Spyshooter discovered and pointed out the Air Breather.......until my post. Regards

The Air Curtain / Air Breather systems are on the F01 and F3x platforms as well -- BMW is even using those vehicles for illustration in its product pages: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/insights/t...mics_2013.html

I think no one really remarked on it because it is not a new feature by any means. Sure, the visual design is slightly different, but it is not unexpected given that it is a new car and not just an LCI.

It is like saying the G30 will have iDrive 5.0 or kidney grills -- it would bigger news if it didn't.

No one commented on it because No Publication/Spyshooter studied the Spyshots carefully enough to find the Air Breather/Air Curtain in previous Spyshots....until my Deep SpyShot Analysis on my photos. The Air Breather/Air Curtains are absolutely a new feature on the G30 vs F10....just like a new engine/drivetrain feature. Regards

Please.

I called this out months ago. I even highlighted it in red.

I appreciate that you have great photographs; they are all over the web. However don't act like you are the first that noticed it in a spy shot.

Edit:

Found it. See this post here: http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...&postcount=142

And this image. Looks like I clearly identified it from the picture.

Not to mention that our "hero" palbay is still incorrectly predicting it as a hockey stick like the g11/12

Congrats... My comments are mostly directed at the SpyShooters/Automotive Publications that trade daily in Cars/Automotive Spyshots and should know every square inch of a new prototype vehicle. I continue to be the only Spyshooter to unearth the Air Breather as well as the 4 Piston Fixed Front Brake Calipers on the G30. Huge Next Gen Model upgrades from the F10 to G30. To the other poster.... I never said anywhere that the G30 will get the 7 Series " Hockey Stick" Air Breather... The insert was used as an example of a "Generic" Air Breather for readers not completely familiar with the BMW Aero System.....

For someone who is repeatedly touting that the only thing that matters is whether or not you specifically mention it, then not realizing that the air breather is a different design than whats been seen on the 7 represents a failure on your part.
