MotoringFile - Pre-production GP photo

MotoringFile writes Here are a couple pre-production examples (both left and right-hand drive) that were recently spotted by a reader in Munich at BMW HQ. How do we know these are pre-production? For one the lower body panels are completely unpainted black plastic … Thanks to Frank for the the photo

(this same picture also appeared yesterday in this MINI2 post)
