These pics, snapped during this week’s launch of the BMW M135i near Munich, show the upcoming BMW i3 we’ve shown cold weather testing previously out and about on a German autobahn, albeit with repositioned tail lamps and different wheels.

BMW spokespersons had little to say on the matter, simply saying we’ll have to wait until the Paris Motor Show.
