From what I can tell, there also isn't any camo on anything past the hood on that car, which would be hidden on something with a new silhouette like the PAS.

I think that this is either an early test mule for a 3-series-based variant, possibly related to the next generation of 3 series, or maybe even testing for a new powerplant for the current generation 3 series (it's a stretch, but hybrid testing in the 3?). The hood looks high, the nose square and ride height looks high, from what little I can see.

Unless the PAS is based on a 3, I don't think that this is it. If I'm interpreting the image incorrectly, please show me how.
