I can't wait to see that blue in the sun without that blue filter they have on the camera.

Yeah it is. The F10 was a good looking car too, but that is all it was. I hope the G30 is as good a driver's car as it is good-looking.

No kidding. I loved the F10, but the next gen will be phenomenal. I wonder how they'll incorporate the 'hockey stick blade' behind the front wheels, I still haven't quite gotten used to that element.

Starting with the new 7-series (G11/G12), the new X1 (F48) and now the G30, BMW changed the bolt pattern to 5x112. And I assume that will be the case for future models too.

So wheels from the G30 will not fit older Exx and Fxx BMW's with 5x120 bolt pattern, and vice versa!

I think from all blues, tanzanite might suit this car the best.

Haha, that's what I thought too, but the car is actually on a raised platform - that's why it looks so huge next to the people.

Such an awesome color! But the wheels look more "luxury" oriented than sporty. I'd love that color with black sporty wheels, and a blacked out kidney grill and window trim.

Black wheels can contrast nicely with paint and look good but I highly disagree that black wheels will look best on this car

Nice baby 7er there.

More and more, these cars are becoming indistinguishable from one another from a distance. Case in point -- I had my G12 7 Series parked in a parking garage, and as I approached the car, a guy walked to the front, asking me "Is this the new 5-series?" I replied "no", and he asked "Are you sure?!" then went round the back to see the model designation on the deck lid (750i). He shrugged and walked off. I don't think he knew it was my car, which is why he asked if I was sure.
