Maybe the LCI.

This car doesn't have the CS hood or spoiler.

I viewed it rather fast from my cell---- that looks like a convertible to me.

I dont think I saw the B pillars.

Therefore, if soft top- no CS

I think the F90 LCI won't have it as we would have heard more rumours by now, so maybe the M8 LCI and F90 CS will have the S68?

I hope not. The car has just hit the market I doubt an LCI is testing this early on.

The m850i launched two years ago so an LCI will only be a 12-18 months away

Isn't the LCI, in theory, a mid-life cycle refresh? which usually equates to 4 years after the model is released? Which should be in this case end of 2022 as a 2023 model which gives from today's date around 24 months. That's why in my opinion I doubt it's an LCI. But I could be wrong.

G30 is 3 months under 4 years from initial production to LCI, so based on the SOP of the G15 it could be early 2022, but then that would only leave 2 years for the LCI production of the Coupe. Maybe 18 months to 30 months will be the rough timeline for the LCI so it is a while out.

G30 5er - 10/16: SOP end of production: 10/23 LCI SOP 07/20
G15 8er - 06/18: SOP end of production: 06/24
G14 8er - 11/18: SOP end of production: 10/24
G16 8er - 06/19: SOP end of production: 02/25

This will likely be engine or suspension testing, so perhaps just an updated engine or so...

Nothing noteworthy IMO, development testing is standard fare for manufacturers.
