That's the color (non-color) for me!

100% real. This is the car from BMW Belux who will be on the Brussels Motorshow in January.

Disagree. If you look at the reflection on the housing below the two outer rings, you can definitely see some shades of yellow.

right, it is hard to judge the color of light in a photo. long expose time of a photo can make any color looking "bright white" that goes for any objects in photos also..

You can tell the halo and the light bar are two different color temp though. Since exposure, white balance are the same.

Hey. Cheers for the photos.

Will White be the only colour on display at the Belgian auto show?

Cheers,

Mark.

I thought the white would show the vents and flares more, making it look perhaps a little more cartoonish? But it doesn't in these pics (though part of that could be the way it's lit). In any case I'm now leaning towards white...

Since the production schedule is for at least 1 year, I think it's very likely that I'll be able to check out all three colors from early adopters before I pull the trigger a few months after initial launch.
Also I have no idea what you mean by cartoonish

I have made the right decision

Thanks for the pics!

GuyOh · 12-22-2010, 04:07 AM

i wish there was a CF roof, but dayummmm White looks the best!!!

ChPh · 12-22-2010, 04:12 AM

Not bad, not bad.

How looks like with BMW classic MontrealBlau-Metallic?

Wolf · 12-22-2010, 05:13 AM

looks great.. its hot in AW.. looks fat at the front, the wheel archers need a better line cause they are making the front look fat, makes the car look lazy... plus God I hate the headlights! other than that the car is great!

Yogijet · 12-22-2010, 05:19 AM

Ok. So now I'm jumping the VO fan wagon and want a white one!

emathis · 12-22-2010, 05:28 AM

Ordered it this morning after my local Belgian BMW dealer was in Brussels yesterday. The reason for the "little" sound is because there's no M engine in this exposed white modell, nor is it a real 1 M. Under the coverage, it is only a disguised 135, but with all the features of a 1 M, except the engine.
Anyhow, mine is ordered as from this morning. And good luck for those who want one.....that's gona be though

I was there to yesterday. We have only 40 for the belgian and lux. market.
ordering started this morning and probably they are all sold right now.
Which time did they place your order? If it's placed by a M-dealer there will be no problem to have one.

I would like to see all three colours IRL before making a decision.

Belgium is obviously closer than Geneva and a Eurostar train ride away rather than a flight although Scott has hinted that Geneva would be the better one to go to.

Yeah man...with a M-dealer. I will get it, definitely. Order placed at 8 this morning.....the guy after me signed also, but is not sure to get it.....
The total figure for BELUX market is 43 exactly.
