If You Bought an F30, Which Line Would You Buy?

Deltari09 · 11-09-2011, 02:24 AM

Sport Line? ("Sporty" contrast stitching, fewer grill line thingies, more epic fascia and rear end, black gloss accents, bigger intake decor)
Modern Line? ("Modern, Minimalist" design, turbine rims, matte chrome accents, matte wood interior, seat-tone wheel wrap [beige seats, beige wheel] squared off exhausts [i think])
Luxury Line? ("Luxury" features, chrome accents, lots of glossy wood, leather, individual-esque feel)

So which one would you get?
I'd go for the modern. Being a modernist myself, that matte wood and clean interior are just so attractive. (Though I really like the grille job on the Sport line)

Timothy J · 11-09-2011, 02:36 AM

sport/m-sport

I would probably go sport but I would need to see all of them next to each other in person at least before I would pull the trigger. My general rule of thumb is the more sportier/aggressive, the better

+1

If it looks mean, it'll get my green.

Sport. Hands down. Hate chrome, of any kind, with a passion.

feaganszhp · 11-09-2011, 08:34 AM

sport!

VWtoBMW · 11-09-2011, 08:59 AM

I am personally waiting for the coupe... if not an M, then definitely the Sport or M-Sport with the N55 or equivalent, whichever is available at the time.

hipnotic · 11-09-2011, 06:35 PM

sport that is the reason why i buy these cars

papaalex · 11-09-2011, 11:11 PM

sport here also... Most of demand i presume will be on the sport. Older buyers and non enthusiast might prefer the Luxury..

pitt03 · 11-10-2011, 02:17 AM

At this point none of them have me saying "Wow". I'll likely wait to see what the coupe or M3 look like before making any kind of real decision.

mkoesel · 11-10-2011, 12:47 PM

I would either order no line at all, with the optional M Sport suspension, or wait for the M Sport line.

Ron Scott · 11-10-2011, 06:54 PM

The ordering guide looks like this will be a very annoying process for some of us. What I'd like is: Debadged Luxury 335, black vinyl and blue, wood, Tech, Driver Assist, Sound and Cold packages. But it looks like they won't fit a Luxury line car without leather (which I despise).

I'm starting to talk myself out of BMW already...

MassBimmer · 11-10-2011, 07:16 PM

As much as I hate the red stitching, I will likely be going with the Sport Line

exactly!

Getagrip · 11-11-2011, 01:03 AM

No line for me. Just M-Sport.

I'm with you MassBimmer! I'll get the silver/black trim on the dash to get rid of that hideous red stripe, but unfortunately it doesn't appear possible to get black seats without the red or to get rid of the red stitching on the steering wheel. But I definitely like the front end and the wheels of the Sport line best of anything (including over the M Sport), so I'll learn to live with the red accents.

I'm thinking Mineral Gray Metallic exterior, so it seems gray/black/silver/red should all go together reasonably well.

ALPINE6SPD · 11-12-2011, 09:34 AM

No doubt about it sport or M sport with red leather and red stripe with aluminum trim.

Is it confirmed that the M Sport line will get the red interior motif like the Sport line? As far as I know, they've only shown us the blue interior so far.

bavarian19 · 11-14-2011, 04:52 PM

Most people on this forum will say sport/msport.

I really wonder what actual sales figures will say.
