An i8 to be exact.  On our way from Las Vegas to Yosemite National Park when and as we reached the entrance to Death Valley we came across this little test mule.  Sorry for the poor pics, but wife not the best with the camera.

It seemed to really piss these guys off as SWMBO clicked away as no one else around had taken any notice.

Great spot! I'd have probably driven off thinking what a terrible paint job ;-)

It will be interesting to see how they sell when they hit the showrooms.

I was too keen to get them out to you guys and wasn't too sure if spy shots were already out there.  Guess I'm not going too make it as pap!

After posting these shots we saw a new X5 with light disguise and then this 3 series (four doors) at the entrance to Yosemite at 10000 feet.  It has the M quad exhaust so I assume a M3 in testing.
