It looks like a production version, how close are they in terms of tooling for the plants and all?

Missed that before your pointed it out. Great eyes and great find. Fairly strong evidence it is a production car to me! I just wish I knew for sure and knew if this has any bearing on when the car will be avaialable in EU and US.

i wish the picture showed more of the rear...from the looks of it they did not attempt to cover up the muffler.

Transporting a car by air is an expensive venture. A demo/launch car maybe/////

Indeed, I guess they have a "good" reason for shipping it that way.
- I hope the guys at the airport handle the car better than my suitcases...

i thought bmw only shipped cars in enclosed trailers?

Leg · 07-05-2007, 04:15 PM

I expect they are doing this sort of thing on purpose at this stage (2 months till release in the UK for example) to fuel interest on forums just like this one.

Free advertising as all us sad gits with nothing better to do than dribble all over every new picture of the new car grab em and talk about nothing else eh!
