Whenever I have to drive near the "Fiz" (BMW design/development HQ) I see a test mule every single time. This time I decided to follow it and saw where it went. Not only was there a test mule car park there, I only had to wait literally 26 seconds (with my camera recording) and one came out.

Here's what I believe to be an F10 5er:


and here's the test mule car park:

I did a U turn to follow that unmasked one (well, he was slightly masked with black tape but not the stupid swirls on the other cars) but he'd gone through a traffic light that turned red for me. Lost ! If I'd had a spare hour to hang around I'm pretty sure I'd have seen another one, but I had somewhere to be

Great find -- thanks for sharing

Hopefully you get to see an M version, either M5 or M-Sport pack! They normally have those available at release now a days.

No need for that.

There's allways someone taking pics for car magazines.


Most pics are from "around" the FIZ and "The Ring".
