Interesting . . . I have seen two different BMW's dressed in Camo around where I now live. (I'm less than 30 miles from the SUV plant in Greer SC) Everyone refers to it as Spartenburg, but the plant is really in Greer, according to my neighbor who works there.
Both Camo vehicles I saw had NJ tags on them. I assumed Jersey tags were/are used because of BMW USA headquarters being in NJ. These are clearly Michigan tags

I don’t think it’s a BMW. I’m going to guess Hyundai or Genesis based on the tailpipes.
But, who knows—the sillouhettes of these cars are all so similar it could be almost anything from a Stelvio to a Kia. |

I’d be surprised if it were a bmw because they just came out with a redesigned X3 and I don’t think a redesigned X1 is due out for years.
I’m saying this based on he size it looks like a smaller size SUV. |

Got to see Bob Hope's old 250SWB California today.
It was pretty, but not as pretty as I expected a California to be.

Those are great pics. Yes, I agree—I think the California is a neat looking car, but it’s got some lines that aren’t as nice as they could be.
Plus there’s a part of me that just can’t stop seeing “old Thunderbird” when I look at one. |

Wow! Cool color too. The back end looks very P1-ish.

There is a guy in my office complex that drives his older orange Mclaren to work 3 or 4 days a week. We saw a 720 for the first time yesterday (in an awesome shade of Barney Purple) and thought it was a huge styling improvement from previous gen McLarens. Really cool looking in person.
