BMW Progressive Activity / 5 Series GT
I was informed first PAS FEP (what FEP means) prototypes were about to hit Munich streets in the next days.
Yet some BMW marketing guys wanted R&D department to keep PAS under pre-FEP heavy camo until a Concept premiere (in Geneva). Engineers claimed such action would postpone FEP phase testing for few more weeks - and that was an absolute no go for R&D department. Board of Director was asked to inetervene … and to decide what to do. The Board of Directors meeting is to occur later this week, or early next week.
However … in the best case the FEP-camoed PAS will hit the roads next week, in the “worst” case we’ll have to wait till early March.
So, still have to wait 1 to 8 weeks.”
