My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
Spotted this at the traffic lights over Christmas. The BMW badge was taped up. Perhaps they were going to re-spray it!!!!

BMW doesn't need to respray "BMW" on the badge. Better to put another company's mark on this hybrid sedan-truck.
imo.

Wow I'm impressed with your undercover work
For example, 'A1' is on a 2007 Mini Cooper S AUTO!
AMS1 is a 2005 Rolls Royce Phantom... (6.7litre)
A535BMW is on a 2002 530d Sport Auto........
The DVLA itself has a lookup: Go here: DVLA Click Vehicle Enquiry...
You need to know the registration and the make... That X6 is diesel, so probably the 535d engine...

I will test drive it in March-April, I think it is too much mix of each car, E70, pre-CS, etc. Also the newer engines like hibrid will come out only later.
I did not like yet the car but may be it will grow on us more...with time.
Agree small wheels kill any car, spec. a SAV.

My Ride: E60
I don't like the looks of this car at all... it looks like a 'tall' version of a Ford Focus..... or Aztec. BMW makes great frontends and sides.. but their backends suffer at times... IMHO, of course.
