I didn't say it wasn't. I was just noting that the screen position from the outside looks quite high and should be fine to see without much effort while driving based on that. Will have to actually test drive the car to know for sure.
The back looked much better on the prototype. This one is not nearly as sporty
looking.
looking.
There is plenty of prototype video from all angles, inside and out, and of much better quality already available.
I'd think most people wouldn't want a high and consequently highly visible information panel as seen from the outside? I guess the idea was to improve visibility of the road by lowering the dash, however.

I could be wrong (does that even need to be said? lol) but I think any of the test cars we see prior to the final reveal will have the alpha interior. Whatever the final dash/steering/display changes that have been made will be kept secret until then.
That's just part of the steering wheel column.
This close to production? I'd think they'd want miles on that stuff now as well.

My guess what we saw yesterday is a much more "Model S like" design.
Less accentuated roofline arch
more and higher rear (different trunk mechanism, guess they brought the seals to the latch hence bigger opening space)
much softer yet more agressive front with very soft more angulated crease line. Eradicated the duckface towards a Corvette face.
And maybe some of You witnessed the "chrome blade" under the front apon lip.
Like the C Class AMG. Very chic!
This car will be sleek and elegant. A little sibling of the "S". Even the rear light inner design:View attachment 221314

funny that you say that. I was thinking exactly the opposite.

I'm happy to see that the exterior of the 3 retains a "premium" look to it. The mirrors and body panels look a lot like a baby Model S which is a good thing. Hopefully the interior quality will be decent and for the price I think this will be an excellent overall car!!
I was too. But the differing angles and paint color probably affects our opinions. They might be exactly the same.
These are release candidates. What you see is what we are getting. Also, don't hold your breath on a final reveal.
I think the rolling shutter effect makes the proportions in these photos relatively unreliable. I wouldn't jump to shape conclusions until we have better shots.
I'm sure they removed the "T" logo to try to disguise it a little. The badge is missing from both the hood and the trunk. Of course, there are too many people anticipating the M3 that only the unaware general public won't know what kind of car it is.
Or perhaps there is a major issue with the supplier of the badges, which will likely cause a 6 month delay.
