BMW X3 Prototype Turns Into NYC Bomb Scare
We sometimes show you glimpses of prototype cars caught in the wild. They’re usually wrapped in clunky body-cladding or plastic wrapping to disguise the final design from competitors. Well, drive a prototype BMW X3 with those trappings, park it, leave it running, and you get New York’s third bomb scare in a week.
A BMW test driver called it a “misunderstanding.” The New York Daily News called him “dopey.”
The BMW was parked outside the American Museum of Natural History, and the attention frightened some tourists.
We’re left wondering who leaves a vaunted company secret with the motor running in Manhattan? We don’t even leave our car running at the dry cleaner.
