Spy Shots: ?06 BMW 3-Series Conv.
A hardtop convertible joins the 3-Series lineup.
by Hans Lehmann/Hidden Image (2004-11-08)
While BMW has just released the new 3-Series sedan, the matching 3-Series coupe and convertible are still undergoing tests before their launch in about a year's time from now at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show in autumn.
The photos are showing two prototypes undergoing testing, plus one computer-generated image showing the convertible with the top down. BMW has consulted various German specialist companies like Webasto and Edscha to help develop the folding roof's mechanism, ensuring that the car remains a full-trunked four-seater.

Those mirrors are fake! They don't work and will not come!
BMW is doing that for a while now on every test car.

Disguising cars is nothing new. All car manufacturers have been doing it for many years now. It's way to competitive of an industry to show your hand after investing so much money to develop new designs, etc.
