This would be pretty cool. If only.....

what are the chances that this is a mid-engine test mule?

MusclezMarinara · 03-15-2011, 02:26 PM

Giddy up !

mkoesel · 03-15-2011, 02:27 PM

I think ZTechnik put the camo tape on as a joke with the expectation that pics would surface. Funny guys.

Anyone in need of a 414hp lawn equipment toting track-ready car?

Here's an M3 spy sighting out of left field. Normally we'd dismiss this outright as simply a joke on spy photographers and us enthusiasts who pour over spy photos, but this prototype is actually registered as a BMW manufacturer vehicle.

We do not yet have info on what this car may be and speculate that it could be anything from a playful BMW joke (almost definitely) to somehow actually (and unbelievably) being a production for some type of utility M3 model. In any case, it's a funny thing to look at, so we share our laughs with you. Looks like the drivers inside may be in the joke as well

In stead of loosing their time with such foolish "games", they'd better start to test-ride for the coming generation M3 as a Touring. Apparently BMW has not yet recognized the signs of time and the need of their costumers for a M Touring version.
Others did.....and did it quite sucessfully. Hey Munich, can you hear us.....

Who knows, it could be loaded and have 400 kg at the back!

axoid · 03-15-2011, 02:56 PM

I'm game if it will tow 7000 lbs.

esqu1re · 03-15-2011, 03:03 PM

They arn't going to make this...then again, Porsche has a SUV, and Ferrari has gone AWD.

auggiem3 · 03-15-2011, 03:03 PM

I think they were testing the vert in cold of winter, so they built a cab for drivers to keep warm... just for winter testing.
But it is clearly E93...

How do they test verts in winter??? ...maybe this is the way?
