BMW M2 LCI (facelift) spotted near Leipzig [Updated]

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
As reported earlier at Bimmerpost, the F22/F23/F87 2er/M2 is rumored to get a facelift for MY2018 (starting in Summer 2017).

Earlier this week (Oct 25, 2016) a member of a German forum has spotted an M2 LCI test mule (Life Cycle Impulse = facelift) on a highway near Leipzig (as we know, the M2 is built at the BMW Leipzig factory). Car with red plates (= dealer test drive car) and the spotter reported that the passenger inside the M2 had a laptop. Front and rear featured some camouflage. The picture shows camo on the rear lights and diffusor + also reveals an M3/M4 exhaust (judging by the exhaust tips) (source: here).

Hat tip to a forum fellow over here for pointing this out.
