Re: Spied: BMW 1-Series coupe

Just as planned, and just as you've been told.

All that is needed is putting an original 2er copue body & sheet metal on the finally developed chassis & do some additional tests & fine tuning to suspension, steering & brakes.

Earliest time we will start to see camouflaged 2er coupe with original design when E81 ends its FEP phases & chassis is production ready.

We are talking about a few weeks here ...

F02 LWB 7er prototypes also expected to join Z4 prototype & Co.



Also: first 2er cabrio prototypes with less camo (without plastic cladding, only heavily taped) are already around - E88 entering the FEP phases. In a week or two all E88 prototypes will lose the cladding. Still waiting someone get pics of them.
