They could have incorporated a holster into the new centre console...

Same here, they look a lot cheaper than the previous 19s - more like wheel trims.Not liking those new wheels
I was wondering the same thing, so hoping CSI (the tv show) could help me, I tried to zoom into these pictures and compare them a bit with the drone shots the same Twitter user made back in August... here are the results:
Crop of picture he made on August 17th:
You can clearly see all the chrome around the windows of the darker-coloured cars, such as the black and red. It's an ocean of chrome.
Now, when we try the same in the pictures linked above, where is the chrome?
The angle is different, and so is the lighting, and the images are blurry, so take it with a grain of salt, but it makes me believe that these are the chrome-deleted models. If anyone can find some chrome when zooming in (or has the "ENHANCE!" program they use on CSI Miami), please let me know!
Look at those panel gaps!
(I thought I'd say it before some other wag!)

It's bound to come! Mind you, I prefer the chrome ... it defines the lines of the car in a way that the black doesn't. Chrome has been around for a long time and I'm thinking that the chrome delete look only works because it's "different". Once all cars come like that it won't be special anymore.
Haha thats some great CSI work man, thanks
I think you're right that there doesn't seem to be a light/chrome strip around the windows. Looks promising!
One thing I don't understand though: the white cars seem DO seem to have a white(?) strip around the windows? What is it? Tape? Chrome? Shouldn't the white cars also have the black strips/chrome delete?

The white strip is a protective film, if you look at earlier pictures you can see it peeling off on some cars and they've only travelled a short distance.....Haha thats some great CSI work man, thanks

On the leaked images of the new revisions they had white tape surrounding the windows. Suspect this is to protect it during transport.Haha thats some great CSI work man, thanks

Could be the protective film, but could also just be artifacts in the pictures; artificial sharpening usually makes up some pixels to give the impression of a sharper image when zoomed out, so I wouldn't count on the white cars to be depicted very accurately. Hope we get some more close up pictures in the next weeks!
Just watched it but it doesn’t start until 2021? If anyone has ordered in the last 2 months surely it will be the current model

partially glad i got my 70 plate LR ... not quite keen on the 'de-chromed' look - I love the way the handles and glass surrounds stand out on my blue M3. I've seen a fully wrapped M3 black matte with no chrome and it was ... plain and a bit dull really IMO. I suppose i've got 3 years to like the black before I order my Y lol!
