There is a new price list for the F10 starting in july 2016 in Germany, I guess we won't see the G30 before few months...

But the point of time BMW released official pics means not the production of the F10 end instantly.
The production will end a few month later so it's no contradiction when BMW published a new price list for the recent model.

It tooks three and half month at max for the e60 and F10 to go from the date of official unveiled to the first customers taking delivery, so I guess BMW will cease the production shortly after to concentrate on the production of the G30.

@SCOTT27 Because you've seen the g30 uncamouflaged, you could honestly tell me how different the front lights and grill is from these pics. With the camouflage, it seems strikingly similar. Am I wrong?

Yes they are similar but there is features that distinguish the two for example placement. The 3er GT run diagonally, like the 4er models and they have that kink where it straightens out as it meets the kidney grille. A feature made possible because the bonnet line is separated by an additional nose cone.

The 5er in relation to it features a straight diagonal cut right to the grille.
With the lower edge of the unit flicking up just before the grille it is similar or I suppose we can say that it is a feature of modern BMWs.
As it allows the lower outline of the kidney grille to use an imprint outline on the bumper itself.
The kidney grilles more or less reflect which type of vehicle it is.
As you can 3er GT and the upcoming 5er GT use a larger,wider kidney grille than the standard models but the Sedans provide a more dynamic outline to the grille whereas the GT's receive something more prominent and stately.

More shots...

I have been able to know that this prototype, together two more from G30 and G31 and one 7-Series, have been testing somethings from autonomous driving. They have changed the location of the cameras that are on the top of the windshield, now have two symmetrical and further apart for better stereoscopic vision and the car can better analyze distances and vision in 3D. In addition, the skirt carrying the radar of the adaptive cruise control exposed, and inside of the two airtankes (left and right) that are disguised, they have two LIDAR radars for scans.

So much camo still...

Btw, what part of Spain is that Fido?

South. Last years all car producers come here with much camo. Photographers are very dangerous

An older car. Remember with G11 we did not really see finished cars as they were still camouflaged.

Looking good. I love the new wheels.

I would not be surprised if we see official press release and pictures after Paris....

The World Premiere is in Paris. The official press release will be before 9th July. Apparently.....

I would love, but that is rumor, nothing official...

I agree, it's not official. A reveal after 9th July is definitely a possibility. A reveal AFTER Paris in October? Not a chance.

If the car is so close, shouldn't we have read some people having seen it already like with the 7er?
