BMW isn't parading these vehicles out for all to see. They have to put some miles on the car in a variety of real life conditions in order to work out all the bugs. Simulation and rigs can only do so much, and you also need real world data to satisfy various government agencies. That's why you see these heavily camouflaged vehicles, typically 12-16 months before they go on sale.
