Spotted BMW SUV and sedan test mules

elusive · 12-10-2016, 01:31 PM

I spotted these last night. I'm not sure which models they are so maybe the experts here can help.

Is that an X3-M and M5 ?

Great shooting.

G01 X3 and G20 3 Series are my guesses. Edit: above poster is right - that's an M car. Maybe an M3 rather than M5?

SAV could be the G05 X5 instead.

ill have to keep my eye out for these, see if they come into the store. looks like a m5 test mule to me. Its pretty large/long

G05 X5 looks bigger than that. Thats prob the G01 X3 since they will split the exhaust tips for this generation and tail lights are similar to the current X1. I agree the second one looks like the new M5.

X1 and G30 5er.

X1 LCI then?

And is this not an F90 M5?

If truly a G30 5 Series, clearly it's a high performance model given the quad exhaust. Would this perhaps be a brand new M550e iPerformance model with an I6 plus electric for upwards of 450hp+?
