In the video, at 0:45 seconds, watch the rear axle, weight transfer as it goes around the corners. It certainly looks like something is heavy back there. They are probably using this 8er as a mule to fine-tune the power train for something in the future, which they haven't created a chassis for. 4-5 years down the line from now we'll see what product this is for, I'm guessing. Hopefully a high-end supercar competitor. Sounds larger displacement, and 100% turbo'd.

Yeah but to be fair, the M850i does have four exhaust pipes at the very end of the system, the rhombus shaped exhaust tips are literally trim pieces inserted into the bumper, solely for aesthetics. I really dislike the fake exhaust tip meta....
