## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

**1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS**
* All styling lives in a dedicated `style.css`. The `style="..."` attribute is **forbidden** anywhere in the HTML.
* Target every design property, layout rule, and state exclusively via class or ID selectors.
* HTML must remain clean, semantic, and style-agnostic: retheming the entire site must require editing only `style.css`, never the markup.

**1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens**
Store every visual token in `:root` (and theme selectors) exactly as below. Define a **`--site-context-*` layer** that feeds the core tokens, so the same stylesheet can be re-skinned for another brand by swapping only that block:

```css
:root {
  /* Multi-brand context layer */
  --site-context-accent: #1c69d4;        /* BMW Blue */
  --site-context-accent-focus: #0653b6;  /* BMW Focus Blue */
  --site-context-bg-light: #ffffff;
  --site-context-bg-dark: #000000;
  --site-context-surface-dark: #262626;  /* Near Black */
  --site-context-text-on-light: #262626;
  --site-context-text-on-dark: #ffffff;
  --site-context-meta: #757575;          /* Meta Gray */
  --site-context-silver: #bbbbbb;        /* Silver */

  /* Core tokens — Light */
  --primary: var(--site-context-accent);
  --secondary: var(--site-context-accent-focus);
  --bg-primary: #ffffff;
  --bg-secondary: #262626;
  --text-primary: #262626;
  --text-secondary: #757575;
  --text-success: #188038;
  --text-error: #d93025;
  --border-default: #bbbbbb;
  --border-error: #d93025;
  --border-success: #188038;
  --border-on-media: #ffffff;            /* borders over photography/dark media */

  --radius-sm: 0px; --radius-md: 0px; --radius-lg: 0px;
  --shadow-sm: none; --shadow-md: none;
  --spacing-gap: 1.5rem;
  --transition-fast: 150ms; --transition-normal: 300ms;
  --ease-standard: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
  --z-dropdown: 100; --z-modal: 200; --z-toast: 300;
  --font-base: 'Archivo', system-ui, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
```

* **Contrast pairing (mandatory in every theme):** light backgrounds pair with `--text-primary: #262626`; dark backgrounds pair with `--text-primary: #ffffff`. Verify this pairing holds in light mode, dark mode, and over photography.
* **Light background rule:** near-white surfaces should use `#fefefe` rather than pure white — **Exception (theme override):** the BMW Angular Precision palette mandates showroom white `#ffffff`; use `#ffffff` for `--bg-primary` in light mode, reserving `#fefefe` only if a softer near-white surface is ever required.
* **Radius rule:** all `--radius-*` tokens must be declared — **Exception (theme override):** BMW Angular Precision mandates zero radius; every `--radius-*` token is set to `0px` and no element may render a curved corner.
* **Shadow rule:** `--shadow-*` tokens must be declared — **Exception (theme override):** this theme forbids shadows; both tokens are `none`. Depth is created exclusively through photography contrast, 1px borders, and hard section edges.

**1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode**
* Dark tokens: `--bg-primary: #000000; --bg-secondary: #262626; --text-primary: #ffffff; --text-secondary: #bbbbbb; --border-default: #404040; --text-success: #81c995; --text-error: #f28b82; --border-error: #f28b82; --border-success: #81c995;`
* Implement with this exact pattern so no flash-of-wrong-theme occurs before JS loads:

```css
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { :root:not(.light) { /* dark tokens */ } }
:root.dark { /* dark tokens */ }
```

* Provide a visible theme toggle in the header using a Material Symbols icon (`dark_mode` / `light_mode`), with `aria-pressed` (true when dark is active) and a correct `aria-label`.
* Persist the user's choice in `localStorage` (e.g., key `theme`: `'light'` | `'dark'`); on first visit fall back to `prefers-color-scheme`. JS applies `.dark` or `.light` on `documentElement` accordingly. Background and text variables must switch with **zero HTML restructuring**.

**1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment**
* Build every layout structure with Flexbox. Every flex container defaults to `align-items: center` unless an explicitly justified exception exists (e.g., stretching pricing cards to equal height — document the exception in a CSS comment).
* All layouts are mobile-first: rows convert to columns below ~768px, content wraps, and **horizontal scrolling is never permitted** at any viewport width.

**1.5 Framework**
* Use Tailwind utilities **or** clean custom CSS in `style.css` — whichever you choose, map every utility back to the CSS variables above and to reusable semantic classes (`.btn`, `.card`, `.input-group`, `.container`). Do not mix conventions.

**1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)**
* Load **Google Fonts "Archivo"** with weights `300;400;700;900` via `<link>` and bind it to `--font-base`. — **Exception (proprietary font):** BMWTypeNext is not web-licensed; Archivo is its mandatory substitute, stacked with `system-ui, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif` to preserve the original fallback chain.
* Load **Google Material Symbols (Outlined)** for every icon. Raw inline SVGs and local icon files are forbidden.
* Weight system: **300** for display headings, **400** for body, **700** for buttons, **900** for navigation.
* `text-transform: uppercase` applies to display headings, navigation, buttons, labels, and section eyebrows — body copy stays sentence case. Letter-spacing on uppercase text: 0–0.03em (tight, precise).
* Display headings: weight 300, uppercase, **60px desktop** via `clamp(2.5rem, 6vw, 3.75rem)`, line-height **1.15**; section headings line-height **1.30**; body line-height **1.30**. Never exceed 1.30 anywhere.

**1.7 BMW Blue Usage Rule (Critical)**
* BMW Blue `#1c69d4` is for **interactive elements only** — buttons, links, focus indicators, active accordion triggers, the recommended pricing CTA. It must **never** appear as a decorative fill, background band, or ornamental accent. Decorative icons render in silver `#bbbbbb` or the current text color.
* Contrast handling: blue **text on light backgrounds** uses Focus Blue `#0653b6`; in dark mode, lighten the blue for text usage (≈ `#5c9df0`) until it passes WCAG AA (4.5:1); solid `#1c69d4` fills always pair with white text.

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

**2.1 Button Component (class `.btn`, variants `.btn--primary`, `.btn--outline`, `.btn--danger`)**
* **Default:** `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` minimum 44×44px touch target, weight 700, uppercase, zero radius.
* **Hover:** brightness shift on primary (`filter: brightness(1.1)`), border-color shift on outline, `cursor: pointer`.
* **Focus:** `:focus-visible` renders a 2px `outline` in `var(--secondary)` with 2px offset — visible over both themes and photography.
* **Active/Pressed:** `transform: scale(0.97)`.
* **Loading (`.is-loading`):** disables interaction, prevents double-clicks, swaps the label/icon for a spinning Material Symbols `progress` icon — button dimensions must not change.
* **Disabled (`.is-disabled` / `disabled`):** `opacity: 0.5`, grayscale filter, `cursor: not-allowed`.
* **Success/Error (`.is-success`, `.is-error`):** temporary feedback states driven by `--text-success` / `--text-error` and matching border tokens — never color alone (pair with a Material icon).

**2.2 Card Component (Features and Pricing)**
* **Default:** flexbox column layout, 1px `var(--border-default)` border, `var(--bg-primary)` surface, zero radius, no shadow.
* **Hover:** border shifts to `var(--primary)` plus a subtle `background` tint; `transform: translateY(-2px)` is permitted but border-accent shift is preferred per the no-shadow theme.
* **Focus-within:** the card border highlights when a child link/button receives focus.
* **Loading (Skeleton):** define `.card--skeleton` with a CSS shimmer animation (gradient sweep) that matches final card dimensions to prevent layout jumps.
* **Empty State:** define a fallback pattern — Material icon + short guidance text — for reuse.

**2.3 Form & Input (Newsletter email capture)**
* Structure: flex container wrapping a `<label>`, an email `<input>`, a submit `.btn`, and a **dedicated error container** with `aria-live="polite"`.
* States, all via classes: empty, focused (outline ring), filled, valid (success border + `check` icon), invalid (error border, `--text-error` message, `error` icon), disabled, read-only.
* Submit demonstrates the full button lifecycle: loading → success (inline `role="status"` confirmation with success icon) or error (inline message). No browser-default alerts.

**2.4 FAQ Accordion**
* Each item: a `<button>` trigger with `aria-expanded` / `aria-controls`, paired with a region containing the answer; fully keyboard operable; animated open/close via CSS (e.g., `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr`), respecting `prefers-reduced-motion`. The expanded trigger's indicator icon (Material `add`/`remove` or chevron) rotates via CSS only. Open state is signaled by icon rotation **and** border/typographic change, not color alone.

**2.5 Overlays (conditional)**
* If any modal/lightbox is implemented, it must: be a centered flex container, use a backdrop overlay, close via a Material icon button, `Esc`, and overlay click, trap keyboard focus while open, and animate open/close via CSS transitions with `--z-modal` stacking.

## 3. PAGE SECTIONS & CONTENT REQUIREMENTS

All copy is real English marketing copy in an automotive precision voice — short, declarative, confident, no exclamation marks ("whispered authority"). **Lorem ipsum is prohibited.**

**3.1 Header (sticky)**
* Left: brand wordmark (weight 900). Center/right: anchor navigation to Features, How It Works, Testimonials, Pricing, FAQ — **weight 900, uppercase**, blue only on hover/focus. Far right: theme toggle + primary CTA button.
* Mobile: navigation collapses into a hamburger (Material `menu`) opening a full-width angular panel (`--z-dropdown`), with `aria-expanded`, `Esc` to close, backdrop click to close, and managed focus. Smooth-scroll anchors respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. Include a visually-hidden skip-to-content link.

**3.2 Hero — full-bleed photography**
* Full-viewport automotive photograph (Unsplash direct URLs, `images.unsplash.com`, eager loading, high priority), covered by a black-to-transparent overlay gradient guaranteeing AA contrast for white display text.
* Display headline (weight 300, uppercase, 60px clamp, line-height 1.15), one supporting line, two CTAs: primary BMW Blue solid + outline white. Example tone: "PRECISION IS NOT A PROMISE. IT IS A MEASURED STANDARD."

**3.3 Features — 3 cards**
* Flex/grid row → column on mobile. Each card: uppercase eyebrow label, Material icon (silver, decorative), weight 300 uppercase card title, body copy on one precision-engineering theme (e.g., aerodynamics, materials, calibration).

**3.4 How It Works — 3 steps**
* Steps numbered `01 / 02 / 03` as oversized weight 300 numerals, connected by 1px lines, each with an icon, title, and description. Row → column on mobile with vertical connector.

**3.5 Testimonials**
* Three quote cards (grid → column), large quotation typographic treatment (weight 300), name in uppercase weight 700, role in Meta Gray. At least one testimonial includes a secondary data point (e.g., lap time) to avoid a color-only hierarchy.

**3.6 Pricing — 3 tiers**
* Three cards, e.g., "SPORT", "M SPORT", "M PERFORMANCE". Middle tier recommended: solid BMW Blue primary CTA + uppercase "RECOMMENDED" label; outer tiers use outline CTAs. Feature lists use Material `check` icons. Cards stretch to equal height; price in weight 300 large numerals.

**3.7 FAQ**
* Five–six accordion items with substantive answers about engineering, delivery, and support, per section 2.4.

**3.8 Final CTA — dark section**
* Near-black full-bleed photography or solid `#262626`/`#000000`, white display text, primary blue CTA, plus the newsletter form from 2.3. Example headline: "ENGINEERED FOR THOSE WHO MEASURE EVERYTHING."

**3.9 Footer**
* Near-black background in both themes, white text. Brand block + three columns of secondary links (Vehicle, Company, Support — links to page anchors where they exist, `#` placeholders otherwise), Material social icons with `aria-label`s, legal row with copyright. Links go blue on hover/focus only.

## 4. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

* **Showroom rhythm:** sections alternate dark (photography or `#262626`/`#000000`) and white (`#ffffff`) content zones — never two adjacent white sections without a dark separator; in dark mode the alternation inverts (`#000000` ↔ `#262626`).
* **Responsive by default:** fluid type/sizing via `clamp()`, breakpoints without horizontal overflow, images `object-fit: cover`.
* **Smooth animations:** every state change uses `transition: var(--transition-fast|normal) var(--ease-standard)`; disable decorative transforms and spinners under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`.
* **Accessibility:** WCAG AA contrast in both themes; never rely on color alone for state; semantic HTML5 landmarks (`header`, `main`, `section`, `footer`); logical DOM/focus order; full keyboard operability for nav, accordion, form, and toggle; `aria-live` on form feedback; `lang="en"`, meta viewport, title, and description present; descriptive `alt` text on all photography.
* **Mandatory visual feedback:** every hover, click, and submission produces a visible state change.

## 5. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

* **Files:** `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js` — separate, complete, linked. The only script reference is a single `<script src="script.js" defer></script>`; no inline script blocks.
* **Naming:** one consistent convention (BEM or your fixed utility set) across the entire deliverable — never mixed.
* **No inline CSS, no inline SVGs, no lorem ipsum.** All class names, file names, and tokens in ASCII English.
* Generate the final code immediately and completely — no explanations, no partial builds, no TODOs.
