Spied: BMW 2009 F01 7 Series - Thousand Oaks, CA

I was on the 23N today in Thousand Oaks. Saw a camoed (spelling?) car enter the freeway. Thought it looked like 7 series. I sped up to around 90mph to catch up. Sure enough. It was a camoed F01 7 series. Special Cali plates. Driver knew I was taking pics so he tried to speed up and maneuver away.

Can't really say much about how the car looked in person. I was speeding while taking camera phone pics and my exit was fast approaching. I did notice the exhaust was inside the bumper ala the Lexus LS. Did not have a chance to see the front at all.

Nice find! Love living out here. Houses are great. Clean air. Best of all, TONS of test mules!

I couldnt agree more Mike! Between the BMW Design Center in Newbury Park and the Audi/VW one in Westlake I get to see all the test-mules roaming around (E92 coupe, M3, 1 series, 5 and 7 a few years ago, X5, A4, RS6, Q3, S5...etc). And I swear theres an MBZ design center somewhere in the valley, I spotted the new GLK (small SUV) on Topanga Canyon last week!

Finally, lets hope this makes its way over to the rest of the line-up, its better for under car aerodynamics

Why don't any of the test mules come to this side of the country? I mean MD's a big hit.
