I think the car is registered by Bosch. I really wish BMW will bring it next year here, but from what I heard is that we're only going to get the 335d and the X5 diesel.

Nice find. Seems to me, if Bosch was able to make the car 'road worthy' in Michigan, the car passed the necessary DOT hurdles. Where do I sign up, Irv?

It probably hasn't passed any of the roadworthy hurdles. The car has a Manfucturer's plate on it. It allows automakers and suppliers to drive all sorts of experimental and test vehicles on public roads.
