This is the first I have heard of this, and who knows for sure if this guy's info is correct. Sure would be nice if it is though. So my question is, has anyone else heard of this, or can any "insiders" verify it?
The official pictures in the OP are representative of the final product. To my knowledge, BMW has never installed any blatantly prototypical parts on vehicles expressly intended for official press photos. It is far more likely (and not uncommon, unfortunately) for the BMW representative to be mistaken, misinformed, or simply overly imaginative.
