One of the weirdest jobs you can get must be as a BMW test pilot. Just imagine how the guy in the video below must feel when he notices everyone around him is staring and filming the car he's driving.
He's probably used to it by now, as this is a car of too greater importance to be handed out to anyone, but still, he must have a queasy feeling every now and then. Fortunately for us, one BMW aficionado was around to capture the barely camouflaged car on film.

We can see it rolling down the highway, unfortunately without sound, because of the wind noise (claims the author) but we already know how it sounds, thanks to previous spy videos with the M4 that will share the engine with the upcoming M3.

As you probably already know, the F80 M3 should've already been unveiled by now, as the F30 model was launched almost 2 years ago, but something is holding back this launch. It must be because the F82 M4 will share the 3-liter S55 turbocharged engine and the Bavarians don't want to ruin the surprise.
