Hi,
BMW has a special exhibition in Munich about "lost & found" cars.

Boy is this car in a sorry state! No engine or transmission, seems like it sat outside for some time, Alabama registration plates from '68. No doubt we'll see this example on some auction block in due course.

Notice the nice covered transport trailer being towed by an SUV in this video (an X5 I guess, BMW would not use a M350 for that purpose I guess ~grin~)
