When I was in Munchen about 10 years ago I visited the BMW factory.
The tourguide mentioned all of the different types of accessories
one could get on a BMW through the factory. He pointed out a car
without any type of "model" badging on it and said there was
a "delete option" package so you could order a car w/o model
badges. He said there were two reasons, one not to draw attention
on the autobahn from the boy racers, the other was to "hide" the
identity of the model from the tax authorities.


I wonder how many "boy racers" tangle with stealth Typ 2s??  ;-)
