2012 BMW 3 Series F30 Standard/Base Line photos and details

So much emphasize and publicity were given to the three new lines available for the new 3 Series, so much that one wonder that it is is possible to get the new F30 without the somewhat garish red accents in the dashboard, or without the bars insert at the air intake, and perhaps without the black side mirror? 

If you read carefully the on M-Sport package, it was mentioned that the package can be combined with the base model and the three lines. Yes there is indeed a base model mentioned. A quick dig in the BMW F30 brochure revealed a single photo (yep only one!) front isometric view without the bumper garnish surrounding the lower air intake.

Two more photos are available from BMW vehicle configurator. I cropped the photos of side and rear view. Well for me, they look absolutely fine without the Sport, Luxury and Modern Lines customization.

With no "Lines" specified, the new F30 looks more like a junior F10, with similar front bumper concept design.  The interior photo after the jump.

2012 BMW 3 Series F30 M-Sport photos and details

Typically, the M-Sport package does not accompany the launch of new BMW car. But for the 2012 F30, the much sought after M-Sport package is displayed together with the standard model. However, this is more of a  preview as the package can only be ordered from the third quarter of 2012.

Its dynamic character is emphasised by the exclusive M Sport body colour of Estoril Blue metallic, a special aerodynamics package with numerous body components, chromium exhaust pipe finishers, modified suspension settings and M Sport light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 18 or 19 inches. Front and rear bumpers, sill covers in body color and a striking diffuser insert in Dark Shadow Metallic on the tail underline the sporting character of the M Sport package, exploiting its visual effect to the full. The M Sport package also come with suspension kit and lower the car by 10mm with stiffer spring, damper and stabilizers.

2012 BMW 3 Series F30 Sport Line photos and details

The Sport Line is differentiated with eye-catching exterior features in high-gloss black that  accentuates the dynamic appearance of the BMW 3 Series Sedan. Eight heavily contoured high-gloss black kidney grille slats in a chrome-colored surround give the front end of the car a particularly sporty and alert look. The black inserts in the front apron make the air intakes appear larger and lend extra emphasis to the muscular wheel arches.  

Bi-color, double-spoke design 18-inch light-alloy wheels provide the athletic looks to match. Meanwhile, high-gloss black painted exterior mirrors and the standard high-gloss black B-pillar and window trim add an extra sporting flavor to the flanks. 

A black trim strip on the lower crease underlines the width-enhancing effect of the rear styling, while the black chrome exhaust tips rounds off the exterior’s sporty appearance.

2012 BMW 3 Series F30 Luxury Line photos and details

The Luxury Line of BMW 3 Series set to give the new BMW sedan an elegant and exclusive appeal. This is achieved with the usage of high-gloss chrome for exterior trim and interior accents. 

For the exterior, the main differentiation from other lines include the BMW kidney grille with 11 fine chrome slats, two slightly offset chrome trim strips in the front apron air intakes, and a high-gloss chrome trim strip running horizontally above the air scoop give the front a striking appearance. 

As with the Sport Line, the B-pillar and window guide come in high-gloss black, and the window frame and weather strip are in chrome. Special 18-inch light-alloy wheels in multi-spoke design accentuate the stylishness of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan when viewed side-on.
