OT: X3///M test mule spotted in Brisbane

Hi Guys

I have recently heard there might be a X3///M coming after they have introduced the success of X5///M and X6///M.

Today, I have just spotted the testing mule in Brisbane! Looks like they are just testing in the old body for now - hence without any camouflage. It is interesting to note that they can't even afford professional drivers these days as he is a P-plater.

I had a good look of the car as I drove pass it, and it looks exactly like a normal X3, and it sounds like a normal X3 as well. I guess it is a possibility that they are just testing if the ///M badge will work well on the left hand side instead of the right next to X3.

As many people had complained about the M division is now becoming M for marketing, I won't be surprised this is actually a special edition of ///M where the only change it has is with its badge. As the new X3 had been launched today, it is possibly the Grand Finale for the previous gen X3.

Well spotted. Most would have cynically fallen into the trap of criticising it. You really do know your cars :-)

I assume the big green P plate stands for Prototype.

Very clever those chermans
