G30 Alpine White 520D

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Sorry for the less than ideal pictures from iPhone 5. This is my G30 Alpine white with cognac interior and aluminium rhombicle trim. It comes with with 18 inch 662 wheels which I believe actually look better than black wheels on alpine white.

Hopefully someone with a better camera would upload another set of pictures of alpine white G30.
You could see from the third picture that there is a button on either side to control the direction of ventilation contrary to previous reports

I like those wheels better than the 19" 664 wheels.

Looking good... I have the same interior (med blue exterior) arriving soon but was a bit nervous about having the aluminium trim...how do find it?

I think those two scroll wheels must just adjust the flow of air but nit the temperature as they seem to be all black rather than having red and blue sections like on the F10?

Agree, the 19s are not very sporty, at least from pictures. Hate to say it but Audi has better wheel choices imo

We've just ordered the same (Med blue with cognac and alu trim) and I really like it. The alu sets off nicely against the metallic trim on the steering etc. We test drove a cognac with piano interior which was nice but I'd hate the constant smudging that would happen.

I thought it was the two knobs on either side that controlled temperature rather than the buttons in F10s
