SO your name and email address splashed all over the photograph isn't enough?

How do you explain "Wimmer does it again"? Speaking in the third person isn't good.

Probably, this could be really sth special. Just checked the exhaust systems - it's the 535i version or maybe a TriTurbo diesel prototyp…that would be stunning!! Did your here anything of the engine?!

I'm trademarking my shots. I recently did a google search and found my pictures (even the sighting shots) in various car forums and nobody gave me credit for them. Some people even claimed they took those photographs. I'm thinking of trademarking all my shots from now on.

Absolutely understand christian here: Copyright on those "spyshots" are extremely important today - otherwise he would find his pics anywhere…

…well the title in the thread - it's really a matter of taste…

Sadly no. I was standing too far away and the various noises from all around deadened out whatever sound this thing made. It might be something special though.

Soon after the 7-Series was released I kept spotting all these camouflaged 7ers driving around - and these turned out to be hybrids (or V12's as some of you pointed out).

Judging by the UK configurator pics it's a 535i GT. The TriTurbo version would be a range topper, so it had bigger exhaust pipes. The same goes for an hybrid version.

Had the same in mind - but it could be a xdrive version though, because of the camo on the side…

Maybe, but there's only one bow for the side turn signal. Most likely that car was prepped before the official release date and they don't bother to remove all the tape. There's no need to do that before the official launch in Fall.

Erm, I don't have a problem with you protecting your photographs and I understand why you have to write your name on them. Maybe I shouldn't have said "splashed all over" then, but I was responding to you saying you put your name in the title so people know you took these photos, but there's no need for that as people can see full well who took these photos.

Anyway, this all stems from one line in one post where I said I was expecting more when I opened the thread based on what you wrote. It comes across as egotistical. You are self-promoting and self-congratulatory, when you should leave that for other people to comment on.

And that's the last you will hear from me on the subject. Possibly.

Yes, I understand the need for the copyright. The self-promotion is another matter.
