U Spy: 2015 BMW 1-Series GT Caught Hauling a Trailer in Munich

Remember the BMW Active Tourer Concept from 2012 Paris motor show? Well, here's what the production version looks like in the Bavarian firm's signature camouflage wrap.

The 1-Series Gran Turismo (GT) tester was nabbed by Carscoops' reader Peter S., who told us the following: "While I was sitting in a cafe house in rainy Munich and drinking my morning café I recognised a camouflage BMW outside. I ran out and took photo shots of it.

The regular length 1-Series GT (there will also be a longer model possibly featuring space for 5+2 passengers) was snapped hauling a trailer, while revealing very few of its details.

Underpinning the new BMW model will be the group's UKL modular platform shared with the next Mini, which means that the 1-Series GT will break tradition by offering front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive may be offered as an option on more powerful engines.

One of the car's closest competitors will be the Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

We tip our hats to Peter S. for the scoop shots!

U Spy: BMW i3 Coupe Concept Parked on the Streets of LA

As we were reminded earlier this week, BMW has been working on electric cars for four decades now beginning with the 1602 Electric in 1972, and next year, it will introduce its first series production EV in the form of the all-new i3 five-door supermini.
At the recent LA Auto Show, BMW displayed a three-door concept version of the sub-compact model named the i3 Coupe, and it is this car that CarScoop reader Alfred H. spotted on the road this week.

U Spy: Reader Wants to Know What Prototype he Filmed on the Dolomites

Unless you're an employee of an automaker's engineering department, there's no (legal) way of knowing when and where you're going to stumble upon a prototype model testing on the road.
However, you can always be prepared for the opportunity by fitting a camera on your car, which is the case of CarScoop reader Michael R. who was recording his ride up Passo di Falzarego in the Italian Dolomites in an open-top Porsche model when a camouflaged model crossed his path.
