Who is this guy?
For any of you that read my delivery thread, I had sort of a surprise. There was a big commotion with a delivery over on the other side of the delivery platform.
 Christian, my delivery guy told me the CEO or president or BMW was there picking up his 7er. Told me his name, but now I can't remember it. Anyone know who he is? His "people" had to move out of the way so I could do my lap. He had another 7 with a light (think siren) on top following. Maybe his security detail? Funny thing is I think I saw that same car at the airport and made a comment on how airport security drives 7's.  Here he is.

Don't think he is a BMW guy, politican based on license plate:
BYL = Bayern Land. Looks like Horst Seehofer the current Bavarian President.

I think it's Bob Lutz spending his bailout check. Or maybe taking notes on how to build the next Impala. Seriously, I don't know who he is but I bet he got a killer Money Factor!
 BTW, congrats on your ED and beautiful new Bimmer.

After some research, you are indeed correct - Horst Seehofer it is.

"Wheels"
Sorry for the confusion. Back in my day, wheels were a metaphor for legs!

Here a pic from the inside
 (c) Bild. And it has a special option: "Zur Sonderausstattung zählt eine beleuchtete Leiste mit der Inschrift «Freistaat Bayern» im Innenraum der schweren Limousine. " (Jonathan, please translate) More here: http://www.autosieger.de/article17549.html But they all reported later than snareman.. You read it first on bimmerfest.

How's this for a first shot: "Special options include a lighted bar with the inscription 'Free State of Bavaria' in the interior of the limosine."

Technically those photos are excellent as it's hard to shoot in BMW Welt - I know - as you must overexpose to get interior detail due to the large windows towards the Vier Zylinder. Nice job.

I must admit that I don't care much for the large shnozz. The one on the 7er, not Horst's.

I had the same delivery experience as Herr Seehofer. You mean you guys didn't?
I wonder if he made an entry in the Bimmerfest sign-in book? Oh, and Herr Seehofer is in THR compliance!
