Expect a few scrapes from the Golf/Mercedes and Metro/Jaguar battle.

This unusual-looking BMW 1-Series has been spotted on the streets around Munich. Nobody seems to know exactly what lies underneath its skin, with opinions on the BMW forums ranging from it being the next-generation 2011 1-Series to the forthcoming MINI Colorado SUV. The raised ride-height and massive arches hiding a slightly wider track than usual, suggest this could very well be a mule for the X1 SUV. Time will tell…
