I'll tell you why: because it further seperates it from the M4. The lower roofline means that the rear seats will be even
less usable. Therefore anyone who has children (aka the older crowd) will be more likely to go to the M4.
The lower roofline attracts younger buyers who do not yet need the space of the M4.
The people saying that this is Toyota/BMW are forgetting the fact that this Roofline drop is CLEARLY well executed. Look at the fitment, it's flawless.
You don't alter and re-sculpt body panels to test for a toyota/bmw joint car. The sculpting has clearly been stylized. This is for a production model.
This is actually getting ridiculous how people keep insisting that it cannot be an M2 test.
Carbon fiber roof. Double Bubble roof. Carbon fiber hood. Lowered Roof line. Recaro seats.
It's development testing for the M2. No question about it.
