1-Series Convertiable pic

Pretty cool looking, even with the camo. Now if we could see the coupe.

I figured they would do different tail lights on the coupe and conv, these ones appear to be rounded, maybe a throw-back to the 02 roundies?

Wow! Love that silhouette!!!

The oversized hole for the fuel filler and the notched front fender/door seam indicates there is some serious camo in that pic.

...must be covering up some of that "flame surfacing."

Any pics of the front/rear???

Do you suppose they'll make any in Inka Orange?

I'll be able to afford one in ~2035.

How's this? But that is all of them on thecarconnection.com. I'm surprised they were only able to get 2 pictures.

Wow...can't wait to see what this looks like w/o the cladding. The size certainly seems right, as do the proportions.

Hopefully it won't cost one bazillion dollars when/if it arrives stateside...

coming to the US (Feb Roundel). Suspect only in coupe and convertible versions, and definitely with sixes only.

I would guess a price somewhere north of a Cooper S and south of a base 325... wouldn't a 130ti be tempting?

so price would be 24K to 30K range.

In a few year hopefully I'll have one parked next to the 02.

what is camo?

[Mike Self]

sides, front and back (also tail lights, trim etc) to disguise/cover up the car's real lines while it's being real-world road tested. Very common for car manufacturers to do, and BMW has driven some pretty bizarre looking test mules on public highways...

what is camo?

Camoflage - in this case all the various coverings, "bras", odd-ball fuel filler door shapes, etc used to disquise the actual vehicle shape or design details.

Most times, manufacturers resort to phony panel cladding and other forms of "camo" when they're doing final pre-release testing of virtually production-ready models, and are trying to keep the final appearance of the vehicle from being splashed across publications before they're ready for us to see it...............

I hope they don't ruin it. I like the 130i that was in the Roundel. I would think in a coupe it would look great. Convertable looks chunkey in the c piller.
