not colorblind and that car appears to be red?

as7920 · 12-06-2010, 11:38 AM

So it is/was in the UK and no-one told me! Argh.....

02fireman · 12-06-2010, 11:43 AM

And those mirrors....nice. Rear PDC sensors aswell.

TunedM2C · 12-06-2010, 11:45 AM

What is this event and why wasn't I invited?

Not bad, those exhaust tips protrude quite a bit no?

Rickster311 · 12-06-2010, 11:46 AM

Any more clearer pics of the fender??

takashin · 12-06-2010, 11:48 AM

Fantastic.

Blistex · 12-06-2010, 11:48 AM

nice!

Red Bread · 12-06-2010, 11:53 AM

Totally cosmetic side "vents"? At least the M3 gets one functional hood vent.

PKL · 12-06-2010, 11:53 AM

if the side gills are being what is unveiled here the pics suck

Moo · 12-06-2010, 11:53 AM

C'mon, these can't be the only shots available from this event

It's the lighting.

Look at the last picture and look at the types of lights used.

Def not red, even though it appears to be.

positiveions · 12-06-2010, 11:57 AM

The O'Fest pics show the halos are still halogen (yellow) rings. Hopefully they will use the new LED tech on the production pieces.

pyrat · 12-06-2010, 12:02 PM

carbon fiber rear valence?

flyga3 · 12-06-2010, 12:04 PM

Geez, I mean really? Isn't this getting old? This 1M interior better be carved of gold on the inside to justify the tease-marketing here, as I think we have all already figured out the body panels one-way or another.

I just want to DRIVE IT already!

TunedM2C · 12-06-2010, 12:05 PM

^^ Nope as others who've seen the car up close have determined. It is just a hard polished plastic diffuser.

ki__ · 12-06-2010, 12:05 PM

i want in white now...

Technic · 12-06-2010, 12:13 PM

This must be one of the most ridiculous marketing campaigns in BMW history...
