This elevated 3-Series prototype with the weird front-end is supposed to be a test-mule for a forthcoming BMW compact crossover codenamed F3. Could be, but then again, maybe BMW is testing the next generation X3’s or even the forthcoming X1’s mechanics on a 3-Series model. Unless someone spoke to the guys that were behind the wheel –which we doubt, there’s no way of knowing with certainty what type of model is being tested in these scoop pictures. -More pics after the jump
