So either F32 (new era for the BMW coupe - 4 Series) or 1 GT (new era for the small BMW - FWD).

Or something else.

cipher5 · 11-12-2012, 03:22 PM

I really hope its the 4 series coupe

I wonder when it will be revealed

This is some intense teasing. When will the pain be over?

F32 fits both those criteria

fastauto · 11-12-2012, 03:27 PM

m4. Brakes look great. Fact that the side vent isnt just for looks is a win also.

Matski · 11-12-2012, 03:30 PM

I've got better things to do than sit here all night pressing F5....

...

... actually, no I haven't.

Shell · 11-12-2012, 03:33 PM

My guess is that it's the FWD 1-Series Active Tourer M-Sport.

Can258 · 11-12-2012, 03:34 PM

I think the photograph shows the area between the front door drivers side and the left front wheel. I would say that it's the F30 M335d/i . However not sure of F30 given the fact that Scott said it's a new era. Then it must be 4 Coupe/Cabrio. But wheels look small for the 4

. When will the waiting be over

SCOTT26 · 11-12-2012, 03:35 PM

Third Clue

Its for the open minded.

Vervain · 11-12-2012, 03:36 PM

Omg so exciting! I didn't expect any releases this soon..

I'd say 2er or 1 GT!!!

That's the brake/caliper/wheel option from the F30 M-sport, which stands to reason that an F32 could use the same set-up, at least for testing.

Those are the 19" M-sport wheels. Pretty big!

Open Minded = Open Top = Z4 sDrive M40i

On a serious note Could it be open minded meaning open to 2/4 series instead of 1/3

Well, I am open minded about both new BMW product lines (4 series) and new BMW powertrains (FWD).*

But in all seriousness it is sounding more like the 1 GT. I am curious, if that is the case, to see how the front seam of the front door goes.

* But never mixed together!

CarPix · 11-12-2012, 03:42 PM

As the photographer of these photo(s) i know exactely what it is ;-)

Payments for the answer can be made directely to my account

Can258 · 11-12-2012, 03:45 PM

Why would they test the 1 FWD with 19inch M Sport Rims. Doesn't make sense to me . I would say 4

TheBingoBalls · 11-12-2012, 03:48 PM

I think it's the 4er. Like someone said, looks like the front left wheel (drivers side) and that black object looks to be that "L" mould (the fender) found on the 6er. And if you believe that the 4er renders were supposed to closely follow the 6er, it makes sense.

SamS · 11-12-2012, 03:56 PM

How much longer do we have to wait???
