That would be a G87, going by the brake size and fender bulges.

As per lemetier, it is only a 220 MSport.

As far as I can tell, only their opinion or possible sarcasm. It is unlikely a 220 Msport will get brakes that large, unless that is a photoshopped image. The fender bulges on the M2 would also be comical if much larger than the ones shown in the image.

If lemetier based it being a 220 Msport on a badge spotted on the test car, BMW have put the wrong badge on test cars in the past when they are also almost un-camouflaged.

Also, the camouflaged car earlier in this thread shows no sign of the same amount of flare on the front fenders and the power bulge on the hood is a typical M-car signature in current models.

Could be wrong but doesn't look much like an m2 to me, unless it's a photoshop or a partial mule. No side vents, no drilled brake discs.

That hood bulge seems to be present on several of the camo'd test vehicles that clearly aren't m2s.
