Oxnard to be exact.

I always catch camo'd BMW's in my neighborhood at around 11:30am if I'm going to see any at all on any given day, that's always the time on the clock, or somewhere around that. I also saw the E70 X5 and R56 MINI in Malibu before launch as well, both completely undisguised. Unfortunately I never have my camera handy to snap photos. Now I keep it in my glovebox just in case, especially now that the 1er coupe is out and the convertible is being tested out this way.

Some of the BMW's I've spotted being tested in my area:
-1er hatch
-E65/6 7er(before it came out)
-R56 MINI
-E60/3 M5/6
-E92 335i (before U.S. launch)
-E92 M3
