More test mule pics.......
After posting: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=104134 , The same evening I was strolling thru beautiful downtown Bishop, CA and spied the motherlode of BMW test products staying at the Best Western (Note: free fish freezing). Almost the entire parking lot was filled with with BMW products with manufacturer plates (there was even a Rolls)....so I went back this morning and took some more pics
 .If you look at the interior pics of the dual exhaust 3er's the tach goes to 7K - so it is probably not a diesel, but a few of them had a boost/PSI gauge - so whoever said "turbo" might have been correct? Hmmm.....turbo+trailer hitch?          Plent of clean towels...too:  .

D'oh... I just said that was the 335i in the other thread, now we see a boost gauge and a front-mounted intercooler...
I still do want to see a N/A 335 though

Hey Alex - what does that sticker on the dash say? Somehing about the airbag not working with the laptop holder?
I was in Bishop on a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power field trip. We traced the path all the way up to Lee Vining to see where we stea ...er... "get" our water from. When we were at Mono Lake I kept getting back off the bus while we were waiting for the rest of the group to get on, so I could take more pics of the black X5 type vehicle. The DWP tour guide said "it's a sad day when we care more about a car than where our water comes frome" jokingly. When I was taking those pics at the Hotel one of the BMW guys looked out into the parking lot and yelled something at me, So I flashed some hand signs at him and yelled back "Bimmerfest!! Mother F***er!!!".......Well not really, it was waay to early an no one was up....but I would have if someone was looking...   .

 Wow -- 2 groups of pictures now! Great job! I like the one picture where it looks like they have taped the km/h to mph conversion table to the side of the dash. It just seems so low-tech it makes me smile

Wow so this turbo thing is true?
 If so the 335 with turbo is probably going to have close to the same performance as the E46 M3. All you guys who bought an 05 M3 are going to find out the meaning of the word "depreciation" next year.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the DUAL EXHAUST on the dark E90? Interesting, might this go hand in hand with the new sports package pics we saw recently on the Electric Red E90? Also, where is the 335 name coming from? Might this just be a 330 Turbo or 330ti?

Frank:
I almost spit my coffee on my screen this morning when I read about you skulking around the parking lot. I envisioned a scene from Animal House when John Belushi is jumping around commando-like before bringing in the horse. I love the low key profile of the test cars. Oh sure, a Rolls Royce in a Best Western! I guess the Econolodge was full or something like that! A few thoughts: * I guess we can debunk the potential of the 3-series diesel for now. There's no way the red line will go to 7,000 RPM. * The black plug on the back of the silver E90 with the trailer hitch may indicate they are measuring trailer sway dynamics for their own vesion of Mercedes-Benz's upcoming trailer control system. The black E90 rear picture is too dark to see anything (Frank is there a plug on the black E90 with a trailer hitch?) * Next time you see them and you want a reaction from the German test crew, try pulling the cladding off the test mule, they really hate that!
