A prototype BMW caused a bomb scare on the Upper West Side this morning after the driver covered the vehicle with a tarp and left the engine running.
An alert passerby called the police after noticing the vehicle, a SUV, was parked directly in front of the main entrance of the Museum of Natural History on West 77th Street.
Within minutes, a bomb-squad team arrived, smashed the rear and side passenger windows, and determined the vehicle posed no threat.
The driver of the vehicle, which was decorated with zebra pattern decals, declined to comment.
Police said the driver is a full-time employee of BMW.
