BMW Electric Vehicle winter testing: 2016 F87 M2 featuring some unreleased goodies

Looks like BMW is using an early stage F87 M2 prototype as 'shell' for EV testing. Likely for future use in G42 2er or G87 M2 variants.

Points to note:

• test site: Sweden - likely: Arjeplog (± 60 km south of the Arctic Circle);
• F87 M2 model (2016-2017 - no LCI, Competition or CS) - Alpine White;
• electric vehicle (battery master switch sticker on the boot + no exhaust);
• no exhaust;
• underbody extension (battery pack);
• M-CCB (BMW M Carbon Ceramic Brakes on F87 M2: M2 CS only);
• roll cage;
• Recaro seats;
• vented hood (hood louvers);
• M Performance Parts CF ducktail boot/trunk (BMW part # 41 62 2 460 277);
• front end without M2 air curtain 'fangs' (likely an early stage F87 M2 prototype);
• 641M wheels - 'Dekorsilber' finish;
• rear fenders protection film has 'yellowed' (= old test car).

Shout-out to BMWGirlFL for the heads-up.

The side exit exhaust ahead of the rear wheels are disguised but leave the discoloration evidence. Its a Motorsport chassis underneath.
