There might be a chance to display the VO in Welt I suppose, in that case u just need to drive 3 hours East, instead of West

Not the first time BMW AG have screwed the customer over.
1M was also pulled from Autosport Intl show in UK.

Different set of circumstances, granted, but hey.

I'm really considering that option at the moment.
Problem is that the presentation at BMW Welt will be midth of March and our dealer (same as Croatian Test Driver) told us he can't gurantee the communicated delivery time if a change will take place too far beyond the date of ordering.

So some people say you can change the color even 6 days before production but if the dealer doesn't know that I won't risk to give up the production slot because he does something the wrong way.

Grrrrrrrrr, this color thing makes me sick. No VO in Geneva, still no "normal" BSM pics (I hope tomorrow... otherwise I would get new problems...)...

Looks like they moved the AW upfront a bit. Maybe they're making room for the V/O?

Also, what is the color name of the reddish M3

Nope. They just moved it temporarily in order to take the wrappers off the tires/wheels. It's now back in its original position.

Won't lie guys, I actually like the look of the 135i (or 128i w/ M-sport) much better than the 1M, the lines just flow better. Bangle, despite all the hate, had the car right.

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

I agree on that darker colors are hotter and require a lot of maintenance, but when a black car is pristine clean, no other color looks as elegant and sweet... BSM is my no-brainer choice for this car.

The rear bumper looks matte to me. This car would be sick in a matte white. Def the best shots of AW but as said before prob due to the background.
