Do's & Don'ts

15 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec

Do
Use Near-Black (`#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 300-400 — 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
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 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
