"Throughout the exterior there are little nuances, such as little spoilers on the rear lights that are not only there for design language but for aerodynamics. BMW worked this car over thoroughly in the wind tunnel to make it as slippery as possible."
Interesting, any pics of these little spoilers?

Am I the only one who notices differences with this particular vehicle with others regarding the air vents.
In the press photos and at the Portugal press event, the air vents had silver trim around it. This one does not. |

That's because the F10 with the 4 zone climate control model comes with the silver around the vents. models with the normal dual zone climate control only come without the silver trim over and under the center dash air vents.

That seems kind of odd. Why would they do that? What does having four zone climate have to do with silver trim. It's not like it adds sportiness or anything.
EDIT: After looking at the photos taken by Motortrend, their test car DID NOT have 4 zone climate has seen in the rear photos, but yet the car has the silver trim around the air vents. Are you sure that is what the issue is here? Last edited by mwares212; 02-18-2010 at 07:50 PM.. |

I've been sitting in 530d yesterday......
It is not possible to match car from the photos and the car that I've seen. On pics, it looks very dull. But when you see it standing in saloon.......I was astonished. The car is huge, beautiful lines, perfect interior....... |

Really? Trim color around the vents is a hot topic?
