Just saw a new 7-series test mule (archive)

Eastbound on outer State Street in Santa Barbara, in the twilight, my eye was drawn to some oncoming headlights. Looked initially like a black Pontiac Bonneville (sorry) wearing xenons. It was actually a matte/semi-gloss all black new 7-series. No chrome, emblems, or badges, but no question either. Had a Mfg or Dist CA tag hung on the back. Probably had Jon Shafer inside, iDriving from the right seat!

Looked pretty good overall, but who the hell can tell at a glance, particularly on a stealth/made-to-be-ugly version such as this.

We saw test mules for the E46 around these parts pretty early on, as well as a silver and a yellow M3 many months ago. I think it relates to the proximity of Port Hueneme, or maybe of the Camarillo test facility, or something more mysterious.

I know this is not the "correct" board, but you are my people.
