narrative: |
  bmw-m.com is built on a pure-white canvas (rgb(255,255,255)).
  The system uses rgb(28, 105, 212) as the high-saturation accent for primary actions.
  Sharp 0px corners on CTAs — architectural restraint, engineering precision alongside BMWTypeNextLatin as the primary typeface.

> Extracted automatically by Clone Architect from https://www.bmw-m.com
> Date: 2026-05-30
> Viewport: Desktop 1440x900 + Mobile 390x844

> **🤖 TL;DR for AI agents** (read this first — saves you scanning the full doc):
>
> - **Canvas**: `rgb(255,255,255)` is the page background. Every component composits against this.
> - **Accent**: `rgb(28, 105, 212)` for primary CTAs ONLY. Never decorative.
> - **Body type**: 16px (token: `typography.body`). Default for ALL text not in a heading role.
> - **Section rhythm**: 48px between major bands. Card padding: 40px.
> - **Default radius**: 24px on buttons/inputs. Pills (`9999px`) only for icon-buttons or status chips.

> **Before generating UI**: import this DESIGN.md, scan §2 (Color Palette) + §4 (Components) + §10 (Agent Guide). Skip §11–12 unless extending.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

bmw-m.com adopts the classic pure-white canvas (`#ffffff`) — a deliberate choice that recedes into transparency, letting typography, color and product imagery carry the entire visual weight. 

Typography is anchored in **BMWTypeNextLatin**. Headlines run at a remarkably light weight (400) — restraint over assertion, creating an editorial calm that invites reading rather than demanding it. 

Body text reads in Warm Brown (`#262626`) — softened from pure black, a small but deliberate detail that lowers reading friction. **M Tricolor Blue** (`#1c69d4`) is the single high-saturation color in the system — it earns its presence only on interactive elements, making CTAs and links the unmistakable focal points against the otherwise neutral palette. Elevation is built from multi-layer shadow stacks — each level combines several blurred layers at varying offsets to simulate the way light actually falls on stacked surfaces, not the simulated drop-shadow of cheap interfaces. 
Motion design uses smooth easing curves for polished state transitions. 

**Key Characteristics:**
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Primary typeface: BMWTypeNextLatin
- Primary text: Warm Brown (`#262626`)
- Accent: M Tricolor Blue (`#1c69d4`)
- Shadow system: 4 distinct elevation levels
- Custom fonts loaded: BMWTypeNextLatin, BMWTypeNextLatin Light, epaasLinkFont, epaasTextFont, Playfair Display

## 4b. Component Behaviors (State Matrix)

### Interaction State Narrative

- **FooterLink**:
  - **hover:** text #bbbbbb → #ffffff, border changes

*State transitions extracted via Playwright simulation — exact values in the YAML matrix below.*

```yaml
component-behaviors:
  button:
    default:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
  input:
    default:
      bg: "rgb(248, 248, 248)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
  link:
    default:
      bg: "rgb(28, 105, 212)"
      fg: "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
  navLink:
    default:
      bg: "rgb(28, 105, 212)"
      fg: "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
  badge:
    default:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
  footerLink:
    default:

    hover:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
```

**Agent usage**: Validate generated components against this matrix. If your output's `:hover` state changes properties not listed here, you are off-brand.


## 4c. Component Vocabulary (Closed System)

*This brand uses ONLY the following component vocabulary. Introducing new variants without justification breaks the system's tonal coherence.*

### Buttons

- **DO NOT introduce new buttons variants** without justification

### Inputs & Forms
- **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Text Input`
- **DO NOT introduce new inputs & forms variants** without justification

### Navigation
- **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Main Nav`
- **DO NOT introduce new navigation variants** without justification

### Search Bar
- **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Search Bar`
- **DO NOT introduce new search bar variants** without justification

## 5. Layout Principles

### Layout Type
**top-nav + content**

### Grid
Single column, centered content

### Max Width
1600px

### Spacing System
Generous spacing — editorial breathing room

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| xxs | 2px |
| xs | 6px |
| sm | 8px |
| md | 12px |
| base | 24px |
| lg | 40px |
| xl | 45px |
| 2xl | 48px |
| 3xl | 64px |

### Border Radius Scale
| Name | Value | Use |
|------|-------|-----|
| None | 0px | No rounding |
| Xs | 24px | Tiny corners (badges, micro elements) |
| Sm | 24px | Buttons, inputs, small elements |
| Md | 24px | Cards, containers |
| Lg | 24px | Large rounded elements, pill segments |
| Xl | 24px | Category strips, featured containers |
| Full | 9999px | Pills, avatars, circular elements |

### Shape Language

|-----------|---------------|
| Buttons | `0px` |
| Inputs & Forms | `0px` |
| Navigation | `none` |
| Search Bar | `0px` |
| Page Body | `0px` |
| Primary Input | `0px` |

**Shape Personality**: Sharp & Angular — No rounding. Precise, editorial, enterprise feel.

**Full Radius Spectrum**: 24px (from `allBorderRadii` scan)


## 5b. Spacing Rhythm Names

*Named spacing tokens with explicit use cases. Use these names in YOUR code instead of raw pixels for consistency.*

| Name | Value | Use case |
|------|-------|----------|
| **hero** | `64px` | Top/bottom of full-bleed hero sections |
| **section** | `45px` | Between major bands (color change, content shift) |
| **subsection** | `40px` | Within a section, between content groups |
| **card** | `12px` | Card padding, list-item spacing |
| **compact** | `8px` | Form fields, tight clusters, badge padding |
| **micro** | `6px` | Icon-text gap, tag inner padding |

**Agent rule**: NEVER hardcode raw pixel values for spacing in generated UI. Always reference these named tokens (`spacing-rhythm.section`, etc.).

## 5c. Widget & Structure Library

Structural patterns extracted from the page DOM — these are the **blueprints** an agent should follow to reproduce the page architecture (not just CSS values).

**4/8 structural patterns detected.**

### Hero Pattern

- **Composition:** centered — Centered composition — heading + subheading + CTAs stacked vertically, content centered horizontally. Common for SaaS marketing pages.
- **Viewport coverage:** 451px tall (not full-viewport)
- **Heading:** "THE ULTIMATE TOURING." — 40px left-aligned
- **CTAs:** 1 (primary: "Experience now")
- **Clone instruction:** Reproduce the **centered** layout. Use the heading font-size token at the documented size. No imagery needed for hero — text-driven.

### Navigation Pattern

- **Position:** static (scrolls with page)
- **Layout:** unknown — Layout not classified
- **Height:** 50px
- **Logo:** ✓ present
- **Nav links:** 7 primary items
- **CTAs in nav:** 0 (no buttons — links only)
- **Search:** ✓ search input visible in nav
- **Clone instruction:** Build a static unknown navigation. Link-only — no button styling needed.

### Card Grid Pattern

- **Card count:** 10 cards detected
- **Columns (desktop):** 1-up grid
- **Card dimensions:** 1440×695px (aspect 2.07:1)
- **Gap:** 24px between cards
- **Content:** ✓ image + CTA
- **Image position:** top
- **Clone instruction:** Build a 1-column grid (desktop) with cards at ~2.07:1 aspect ratio. Each card has an image at the top.

### Footer Pattern

- **Columns:** 1
- **Links:** 30 total
- **Height:** 715px
- **Includes:** ✗ no newsletter | ✓ social icons | ✓ language switcher ✓ copyright
- **Clone instruction:** Build a 1-column footer with ~30 links per column, social media links, and a copyright line.

## 6. Depth & Elevation

| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page background, content blocks |
| Layered (Level 1) | <br>`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0px 4px 25px 0px` | Cards, elevated surfaces |
| Layered (Level 2) | <br>`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0px 15px 50px 0px` | Cards, elevated surfaces |
| Layered (Level 3) | <br>`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0px 1px 5px 0px` | Cards, elevated surfaces |
| Layered (Level 4) | <br>`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0px -1px 8px 0px` | Cards, elevated surfaces |

**Shadow Philosophy**: Multi-layered shadow system creating natural, atmospheric depth. Each shadow level combines multiple layers for realistic elevation.

## 7. Motion & Interaction

### Dominant Easing Curves

| Curve | Semantic Name |
|-------|---------------|
| `ease-in-out` | Ease In-Out — Symmetric |
| `ease-in` | Ease In — Accelerating |
| `ease` | CSS ease — Default |

### Duration Scale

| Value | Tier | Typical Use |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `50ms` | Instant | State toggles, instant feedback |
| `200ms` | Normal | Panel open/close, navigation |
| `300ms` | Normal | Panel open/close, navigation |
| `500ms` | Slow | Hero animations, page transitions |
| `12s` | Cinematic | Splash, marketing reveals |

### Copy-Paste Transition Snippets

**Transform**
```css
transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out, -webkit-transform 0.3s ease-in-out;
```

**Transform**
```css
transition: transform 0.3s, opacity 0.3s, -webkit-transform 0.3s;
```

**Transform**
```css
transition: transform 0.2s ease-in-out, -webkit-transform 0.2s ease-in-out;
```

**Background**
```css
transition: background-color 0.05s;
```

### Keyframe Animation Catalog

| Animation Name | Type | Animated Props | Use Hint |
|----------------|------|----------------|----------|
| `rotate` | Rotate / Spin | transform | Loading indicator |
| `backdrop-fade-in` | Fade | background-color, opacity | Element entrance |
| `backdrop-fade-in-dark` | Fade | background-color, opacity | Element entrance |
| `slidein` | Slide | transform | Panel / drawer enter |
| `pwri-minute` | Rotate / Spin | transform | UI transition |

| `pwri-scroll` | Custom | top | UI transition |
| `dialog-fade-in` | Fade + Move | opacity, transform | Element entrance |
| `button-fade-in` | Slide | transform | Element entrance |

### Motion Fingerprint

- **Speed Character**: Deliberate & Calm (median duration: `300ms`)
- **Dominant Easing**: symmetric in-out (precise)
- **Animation Library**: 9 unique animations (9 total including variants)

> This design moves with deliberate & calm timing using symmetric in-out (precise), creating a UI that feels calm and controlled.

## 8. Do's and Don'ts

### Do
- Use Warm Brown (`#262626`) for text — not pure black, it's warmer and more readable
- Use BMWTypeNextLatin as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
- Keep font weights between 400-400 — the system uses a narrow weight range for subtle hierarchy
- Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette
- Use M Tricolor Blue (`#1c69d4`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color
- Keep the hero centered and text-driven — no decorative media, typography carries the message
- Use a single primary CTA in the hero — the design intentionally avoids choice paralysis
- Include a search input directly in the nav — discoverability is a primary UX value here
- Each card includes a top image — imagery is part of the card identity, not optional

### Don't
- Don't use pure black (`#000000`) for text — the near-black adds warmth
- Don't substitute with generic sans-serif or serif — the custom font carries the brand
- Don't use weight 700 (bold) or above — 400 is the maximum weight in this system
- Don't invent new shadow values — use only the extracted shadow levels
- Don't introduce additional saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally controlled
- Don't add hero illustrations or photos — they'll break the typographic restraint
- Don't make the nav sticky — this design lets it scroll away to maximize content focus
- Don't put a CTA button in the nav — this design uses links only at the top


## 7b. Enforceable Brand Rules

*Structured Do/Don't with reasoning and validation tests. Agents can programmatically verify generated UI.*

```yaml
rules:
  - id: brand-canvas-001
    type: do
    rule: "Always use the page background `rgb(255,255,255)` as the base canvas"
    why: "Every component is designed to composit against this exact tone"
    test: "document.body.style.backgroundColor === 'rgb(255,255,255)'"
  - id: brand-accent-001
    type: do
    rule: "Reserve `rgb(28, 105, 212)` for primary CTAs and brand-mark signals only"
    why: "Single chromatic assertion device — overuse dilutes meaning"
    test: "querySelectorAll('[style*=\"rgb(28, 105, 212)\"]').length <= 3 per fold"
```

## 9. Responsive Behavior

### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | 375px | Single column, compact spacing |
| Mobile | 480px | Single column, compact spacing |
| Mobile Large | 640px | Expanded mobile layout |
| Mobile Large | 767px | Expanded mobile layout |
| Tablet | 1023px | Multi-column grids begin |
| Desktop | 1280px | Full feature layout |
| Large Desktop | 1440px | Maximum content width |

### Token Diff — Desktop vs Mobile

| Element | Property | Desktop | Mobile |
|---------|----------|---------|--------|
| button | width | `auto` | `48px` |

### Collapsing Strategy
- Navigation: horizontal links → hamburger menu on mobile
- Cards: multi-column → stacked vertical on mobile
- Footer: multi-column → stacked single column on mobile

### Touch Targets
- Buttons: 1px 6px padding
- Navigation: adequate spacing between items
- Interactive elements: minimum 44px touch target recommended

### Collapsing Narrative

How the structural patterns adapt from desktop to mobile (extracted from both viewport extractions):

*No major structural differences detected between desktop and mobile widgets. The same blueprints scale rather than collapse — verify by inspecting actual mobile render.*

## 9b. Visual Tone & Photography

**Tone:** Photography-driven

The site is dominated by photography (JPG/WebP). Photos carry the brand voice as much as the typography. Use authentic, brand-appropriate imagery — generic stock will degrade quality.

**Hero Image (above-fold dominant visual):**
- Aspect: 1.78:1 (landscape (16:9-ish))
- Rendered size: 801×451px
- Alt text: "THE ULTIMATE TOURING."
- *Use this aspect ratio + composition for your clone's hero — mimicking the proportion preserves the visual hierarchy.*

**Aspect Ratio Distribution:**
- Landscape (1.15–2.3): 11 (48%)
- Portrait (<0.87): 12 (52%)
- Square (0.87–1.15): 0 (0%)

**Media Format Mix:**
- JPG: 22 (typically photographic content)
- PNG: 1 (logos, transparent UI elements, mockups)

**Average rendered image size:** 426×361px
**Above-fold image count:** 1 / 23

**Imagery Guidance for clones:**
- Source authentic photography (or licensed stock that matches the brand mood) — placeholders will visibly degrade the clone.
- Match the dominant aspect ratio (see above) so card grids and hero compositions hold.

### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on Pure White background (#ffffff). Headline at 20px BMWTypeNextLatin weight 400, line-height 1.4, color #262626."
- "Create the primary CTA button: `#1c69d4` background, `#ffffff` text, 9999px border-radius, 0px 20px padding, 700 weight, BMWTypeNextLatin font."
- "Build navigation: static on `#ffffff`. BMWTypeNextLatin 16px weight 400 for links."

### Iteration Guide
1. **Canvas**: Set the light canvas to Pure White (`#ffffff`) — every component is composited against this exact base.
2. **Typography**: All type in BMWTypeNextLatin, weight range 300–400. Never exceed 400 — heavier weights break the brand's tonal restraint.
3. **Accent**: M Tricolor Blue (`#1c69d4`) is the sole interactive color. On hover → #3aaea9 (`#3aaea9`). Use CSS transitions, not opacity/brightness filters.
4. **Focus**: Render focus rings in Cobalt Blue (`#0653b6`) — never hide focus outlines. The ring color is distinct from the accent to avoid ambiguity.
5. **Motion**: All transitions use `cubic-bezier(1,0,0,1)`. Never use linear for UI transitions — preserve the brand's easing personality.
6. **Shape**: CTAs at `0px`. Apply border-radius from the extracted scale only — don't invent intermediate values.
7. **Spacing**: Use the `--ca-space-*` token scale (6px–45px). All padding, margin, and gap values are multiples from this scale — no magic numbers.
8. **Tokens**: Import from §11 CSS Export (`--ca-*` vars). Never hardcode hex values — always reference a token so theming remains consistent.

**Agent rule**: rebuild sections in this order (sorted by vertical position). Match the layout primitive (grid N-col / flex direction / block).


## 14. Copy Library (Real Content from Source)

*Actual text content extracted from the live page. Use these strings verbatim when reproducing the site — they carry the brand voice.*

```yaml
copy:
  section-headings:
    - "THE ULTIMATE TOURING."
    - "MORE NEW M MODELS."
    - "BMW M CHATBOT"
  sub-headings:
    - "TEST YOURSELF, TAKE THE QUIZ."
    - "LOWER CONSUMPTION, FULL PERFORMANCE."
  ctas:
    - "M Motorsport"
    - "Experience now"
    - "Shop M Lifestyle"
  navigation:
    - "Skip to main content"
    - "Home"
    - "Magazine"
    - "Models"
    - "M Motorsport"
    - "Overview"
    - "News & Stories"
    - "Race Cars"
    - "Works Drivers"
    - "Racing Series"
  footer-links:
    - "Deutsch"
    - "English"
```

**Agent rule**: reuse these exact strings when generating UI. Do NOT translate or rephrase — brand voice is preserved through the original wording.


## 15. Asset Inventory (Image Roles & Ratios)

*Image inventory classified by role and aspect ratio. When reproducing the site, allocate this number of assets per role.*

```yaml
assets:
  logo:
    count: 1
    avg-ratio: 2.75
    common-aspect: "~16:6 banner"
    sample-alts:
      - "BMW M Logo"
  editorial:
    count: 4
    avg-ratio: 0.56
    common-aspect: "~9:16 portrait"
    sample-alts:
      - "BMW M760e and BMW i7 M70"
      - "BMW XM Label"
      - "BMW M2 CS"
```

**Agent rule**: when generating placeholder images, match these counts and aspect ratios. Use neutral placeholder backgrounds for `product` (e.g. `#f5f5f5`), full-color photography hints for `hero` and `editorial`.


## 16. Component HTML Templates

*Suggested HTML markup for reproducing the key components — based on what was detected in the source DOM.*

### Button (primary action)
```html
<button class="btn btn-primary">
  M Motorsport
</button>
```
_Source pattern detected: padding `12px` · radius `0px` · weight `400`_

**Agent rule**: use these markup skeletons as the structural baseline. Apply tokens from §2-3 for visual styling.


## 12. Known Extraction Gaps

*Auto-detected limitations of this extraction — understand before building:*

- **Sparse component extraction** — fewer than 5 component types detected. Highly dynamic sections (modals, datepickers, carousels) require interaction to render and are not captured in a static pass.

## Extraction Completeness: 62/100 (C)

| Category | Score | Max | Detail |
|----------|-------|-----|--------|
| Colors & Palette | 13 | 25 | 9 named colors |
| Typography | 15 | 20 | 6 roles defined |
| Components | 16 | 20 | 4 specs extracted |
| Motion & Interaction | 12 | 15 | Keyframes present |
| CSS Custom Properties | 1 | 10 | 20 vars |
| Responsive Breakpoints | 5 | 5 | 7 breakpoints |
| Variable Fonts | 0 | 5 | None detected |

## 12. Known Gaps & Confidence

Explicit list of what this extraction could NOT capture. Agents should not invent values for these — either skip the feature or use the documented baseline + heuristic fallback.

| Category | What's missing | Fallback strategy |
|----------|----------------|-------------------|
| **Dark mode** | No dark-mode CSS variables or media queries detected | Light mode is canonical; do not generate dark-mode variants unless explicitly requested |

### Per-section confidence

| Section | Confidence | Reason |
|---------|------------|--------|
| §1 Visual Theme | High | Body bg extracted via getComputedStyle() |
| §2 Colors | Medium | 20 CSS vars (semantic naming requires ≥20 for high) |
| §3 Typography | High | 6 typography roles inferred |
| §4 Components | Medium | 4 component variants captured |
| §7 Motion | High | Keyframes + transitions |
| §8 Do's/Don'ts | High | 17 rules generated; design-decisions.json has evidence per rule |
| §9 Responsive | High | 7 breakpoints detected |
| §9b Photography | High | 23 images, hero present |
