Exclamation 2010 BMW M3 spyshots!!! Saw the car in Malibu, yesterday!!

Driving down the Pacific Coast Highway, yesterday, this came up beside me!


ALL BMW insignia had been removed off the body and the wheels and was conspicuous by its absence.


The car had a "Distributor" license plate NOT a dealer plate, and was followed by a new 7-series, also with a Distributor plate.


It happened pretty fast, by the Colony shopping center on the PCH, where I shot these...just happened to have my camera on the front seat.


BUSTED!!!!







Look at the hood bulge.

But I don't understand this, I thought this model was out already for about a year. Maybe I am missing something (?)








Then I saw a blue eyed, long blonde haired guy that looked like Jesus Christ on the calendars.


but it was just a Malibu surfer. heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

BMW's design studio is close to Malibu, saw the X6 ones on PCH way before any one outside of BMW knew of it's existence. Nice catch, you should sent the pictures to Jalopnik.com.

Yeah, I've seen one in Houston as well. Not common yet, but available.

Seen probably a dozen of those in and around Atlanta over the last month or so.

Impressive machine - definitely a "chef's knife" to the C63's "sledgehammer" approach.

Now we should caption the poor guy sitting in his car while a stranger takes his picture.

Not sure why this is labeled "spy shots." Those cars aren't too uncommon in any major metro area at this point.

The MB in the background is actually a 2012 C82 AMG disguised as a vintage C-Class with Micheal J Fox behind the wheel.

Jim did you stop by the Starbucks at Colony Shopping Center?

Sit there for about 5 minutes and you'll get a background paparazzi photo with your SEC in it

How funny!

I was about to say the guy in the car dont look to excited about driving it, unless he saw Jim snapping his photo and was disgusted.

Whose that in the C220 a couple of lanes over? Anyone here?
In that one photo it looks like my 4th grade school teacher I had in 1985-86, but she lives here, so it cant be her!
