99% of joe public wouldn't know the new 5-series if it cut them off on motorway and yelled look at me look at me!!!

just seems very self defeating!
Yes, I agree that the swirly paint will attract attention, but the intended purpose is far different. While most people won't recognize a test mule/pre-production car on the road, there are spy photographers who purposely seek out these cars to provide pictures for auto magazines and the like. With that paint job, it becomes quite difficult to make out the details and proportions of the car.
