More BMW Spy Shots

When it rains, it pours… Today on the way in to work on the I-5 northbound near the 73, Donut and I spotted what was definitely a BMW, wearing distributor plates and wearing the slimmest possible disguise – black gaffer’s tape over the BMW roundel. I fired up my trusty Instinct and snapped some stills and video, but while we were patting ourselves on the back for the “get”, we discovered that the car we’d shot was just the tail end of a whole convoy of new Bimmers…

First up was this crossover-style SUV, which we suspect is the X1.

Here’s the drive-by video, with bonus commentary from me and Donut:

Next up is what we’re sure is an M3…

And of course, the drive-by video. Note that this driver is way cooler than the other dude – he gives us the peace sign as we go by:

I’m guessing that this is a 3-series sedan.

Finally, there’s this, which looks to be about the same size as the first crossover, but has a very different nose, and a camouflaged rear end.
