Bei dem Erlkönig-Modell handelt es sich – wie schon vermutet – um einen Entwicklungsträger, mit dem unterschiedliche Abteilungen des Konzerns neue Komponenten testen. Das kann von Fahrwerkselementen, Reifen, Bremsen, Motor-Neuentwicklungen, Abgas-Komponenten bis hin zur Multimedia-Technik alles sein. In diesem Fall hat BMW einen M8 als Träger verwendet.

Also BMW denied working on any config with central mounted engine.
Exactly and that doesn't contradict anything I posted...

It's not mid engined (that was debunked early on in this thread) but it's most likely a test mule for the upcoming (hopefully) CSL Hommage drivetrain etc.

Front engine, straight six, hybrid tech, possibly transaxle.
