What do you mean, no LED? Those angels look like the ones off the 335is.

They would be silly NOT to put 335is-like angels, considering that's the "new look" BMW is going for with ALL the new models (except, apparently, the poor 7-series).

Or are you talking about LED headlights? I stand corrected in that case.

Sounds awesome but not liking the way the car looks.... not as sleek/aggressive imho

He's mistaken, the video clearly shows LED-lit corona rings. And the headlights are the standard Xenon ones on current 3-series, and they'll remain on the F30, too.

7-series gets updated soon (probably March 2012): http://www.7post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=551631

Full LED headlights are coming as an option to the 6 series, and LCI 7-series. But I doubt they'll make it to the next-gen BMW models anytime soon, i.e. the replacement for the F20, F30, F10.

We will get the sedan!

P.S. Reserve judgment guys. Look at how the E92 looked in those spy shots/videos and the end product. I'm sure that the new M3 will look great.

I wonder if it will be similar to S65, where they basically just cut off two cylinders from the S85.

They might just do the same thing with the new M5 ttV8.

mohrgan · 09-28-2011, 04:12 PM

Looks like no LED turn signals. That sucks!

DDS2015 · 09-28-2011, 04:21 PM

It looks aggressive and has a really aggressive stance. It however does not sound that aggressive. I will reserve judgement on sound until I hear it on the ring though. I wonder how it sounds with akrapovic???

I agree, that ugly zebra paint is terrible too.

...... OH WAIT MAYBE IT'S CAUSE IT'S A SPY SHOT ON THE EXISTING E90 BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's no E90 body/chassis.

Marioalex24 · 09-28-2011, 04:32 PM

Yup that totally sounds like a v6. I like the aggressive look. But the sound does not sound good at all. But well wait until the finish product.

If you recall on the other M spy's, many M cars didn't sound the way they sound now.

I was talking about the turning signals... I know that this are not the lights that are going into production... it is a prototype... but i just noticed the blinking is regular filament bulb, I could have explained it better.

phusion974 · 09-28-2011, 04:34 PM

Doesn't sound good at all, not impressed.
The S65 V8's sound WAY better.

According to a reliable source, the BMW F80 M3 Sedan will likely have its market launch in summer 2013 with the F82 M4 Coupe to debut in 2014.

a "M4" coupe?

that will take some getting used to

I'm sure there are lots of post-E90 parts, but we all agree this is pretty far from the production look, yeah?

Maybe they have the M5 engine sound thing except the speaker is on the outside...
