Bmw should maybe try these cars where the winter conditions are more real and the use of salt is so extensive that the cars ages 2-3 years faster then the average car who drives only in where it is snow like on the pictures.

For example where i live pretty much in the middle of Sweden we have very few days with snow conditions like that its mostly -2c to +4c during winters and constant rain and salt on the roads so it won't freeze during nights. So a car pretty much ages around 2-3 years faster when driven here compared to other parts of the country. I hate the use of salt on the roads....
That's one of the many "great" things about Seattle, we'd rather crash our cars than salt the roads (or put winter tires on!)

The Testing in the nothern regions is meant for cold climate testing of all systems in really cold conditions, for that they need -10C and more. Also traction fine tuning is done on full snow roads.
It is not for corosion tests of the car. These things are done in the labs at the facilities.

And on top of that, also not ideal for them to test prototypes where there is "a lot" going on, where you mainly find roads like in your picture
Even up there in the north, they're constantly in front of camera lenses

Saw one of the 2 Series camo cars driving around while I was running. Proportions look decent honestly.

There also was a camo’d 2 Series Gran Coupe following it which I thought was interesting.

Surprised we have not seen any "less camo" or "no camo" shots recently.

And this isn't the M2 just the 2er Coupe

Hopefully the Gen2 M2 is absolutely menacing by comparison

Overall shape is similar to current, just a bit bigger

Soon the will be a 1/2 series so it can be small and noble like 1M!

7 series will be school bus version and m3 will be the size of 5 series

Is the M2 the true successor to the M3? Does anyone else think that?

G42/87 don't have the more contemporary kink found on the 4er/8er.

The SOP for the G42 is July/August 2021. I think it's time to drop the camo!
