It is debatable about the status of prototype cars being tested on the road...what if he is testing the brakes or steering and they are not up to the task yet ?

On the other hand, I am aware that prototypes MUST be tested on the road eventually.

Is it typical for the gas cap cover to pop open in accidents like this?

I bet he was cut off.

Happens all to often these days, and at speed it is a handful.

Actually it could be the 225i, 225d or 228i. But the 228i is only expected for the US up until now. It can't be a 220i or 220d as those would only have a single tailpipe.

Take a look at the expected model line-up here :http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=799090

New NASCAR flaps. Looks like it deployed and kept the car from spinning as the rear of the car looks undamaged

Glad no injuries. Car did very well considering suspension tore off.

And it's a diesel. The extra long fuel door gives it away.

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!
