  | ^^ Nice spot! Clearly the steering wheel, gauges, light knob are Mercedes... May very well be the BLK mule indeed! You should watermark these pics ASAP though, or they'll be "stolen" from you!

 And the "BB" number plate could also a sign for a Merc test mule - this is their favourite one next to the Munich one…and in Papenburg is the a test center, where most of the new Mercedes are tested too, if I'm right!
