Right. I know It’s camouflage for a model in development just wondering who may know what that model could be. It’s the first time I’ve seen an unreleased vehicle in person.
Well, I think this looks much better than the beaver teeth nonsense. A shame that many need to compensate their fragile ego with huge and upright bonnet area even in electric SUVs, but this car has the excuse of being yet another compromise, accepting gas and diesel engines up to V8.
I am ashamed that also on the latest Skoda EV, they said they compromised aerodynamics to give the car a more imposing stance. On a Skoda. Imposing stance. Why are we as a species so stupid?

The wavy lines are to make it harder for people to figure out the shape just by taking pictures.
If it's really a BMW then my headcanon is going to be that they taped over the blinkers since nobody uses them anyway...

BMW intentionally make their cars look controversial to get people talking about it, and apparently it works very well.

It would stand to reason that’s it’s a BMW, as their plant is about 2 hours away. No markings on the inside or wheels.

How do you know that? I don't know what sc plates look like I guess

It’s a manufacturer plate, they use these for unreleased vehicles in testing.
