Got about 34 minutes to spare?
There is a rather long (but very comprehensive) video on the BMW press club site that shows not only a bunch of interior and engine details, but also a bunch of exterior driving scenes that include sound. Since everyone has probably seen all the official pictures over and over again, I think it's time to spend a half-hour watching the video to see some of the finer details, etc.
For now, BMW is only making the video available via snail mail on a Digital Betacam tape so there's no way to download it -- instead, you just have to watch it on a somewhat small player on the following page:
https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/pressclub/p/...docNo=PF0002827
(You can read the "edit list" on that page to see a description of all the different shots in the video.)
Let's see what details some of you eagle-eyed forum members are able to notice!
EDIT:After posting the link above, I found an alternative way to post these videos here so you may want to just click the following link to go to my newer thread:

Have fun!

That's a great video but hard to watch because the quality is so poor. Anything in motion is heavily pixelated.
I did notice that it has an auto-close feature for the trunk? That's great when you don't want to touch it because of rain, dirty, whatever.

Rudy,
Thanks for the link! It was a great video. It played fine and the quality was great.
So let me get this straight: 1) Parking assistant? 2) Side View Camera's? 3) LCD Screens in the rear (entertainment)? 4) Dual exhaust?
They will be offering these options in USA and Canada?

At just past the 20:14 (or maybe a few seconds later) min mark it shows the car at nighttime, turning on the lights, fog lights, very classy interior ambient lighting effects, etc. Very nice! Once it all downloads you can easily zip through all of it and stop where you like.

The last 4 minutes are devoted to the car's automated production on the assembly line. Really cool.
A couple of these are already available at the bottom of this page link below, Rudy, so if you're going to break these down, have a look at these first:
https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/pressclub/p/...item=node__2235
Btw, the 530d's film in .wmv format is, unfortunately, a duplicate copy of the one posted for the 535i. It's just someone's mistake -- both exact 84.23 MB. I had to watch the 530d in .mov format in order to see both of them. You'll see what I mean if you haven't already.
Those wanting to see more of the interior options and colors should have a look at the virtual movie on that same page too, just above these other two.
Or another source for said animated look:
Turn down you're volume or you'll be subjected to really bad, cheesy 80's sounding rock music ...

I think I have a better plan to allow me to post these detailed videos here in smaller chunks...

I don't remember seeing anyone else posting the more detailed videos that are now available in smaller chunks in the thread I linked to above...

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
Excellent wake up this morning!
They are doing everything necessary to sell me an F10!
But I may have to go to PepBoys for a cup holder.
Thanks, Rudy.
