Can anyone confirm this sighting? 24th June, late afternoon, near Tarvin, Cheshire, I saw a silver coloured open top two-seater roadster with a 05 registration (couldn't get the rest of it). There were two interesting additional features: it was a tricycle, like the old Morgans, (two wheels forward, one at the rear) and it sported a BMW badge on the back.Trawling through BMW websites gives no information.
New model on the street?
