Just maybe, a BMW X6. Too hard to tell, and I don't know that model well enough. The wheels certainly look like BMW wheels.

Don't know how easy they scratch but pictures don't do them justice. The new gloss black is gorgeous, and the silver accents are tasteful. I could live with them and just be a freak.

Had to be a jag to get the B&W in car audio.

Now if you had a Naim system, well that would make you a Bently driver.

When you own B&W, Conrad Johnson and Naim - well it seems you get neither. But who cares, iv've got a great sounding system and happily catch the train, it's faster than driving into town anyway.

In case you were wondering, I use Etymotics for my in train music.

Actually, I believe the car in the photo is a Jaguar XJ. If you look closely at the rear of the door, the c-pillar goes forward towards the front of the car and the quarter window is between the c-pillar and d-pillar (like on the XJ below). On the XF, the c-pillar is more vertical and both it and quarter window are part of the door.

Fortunately (or unfortunately for this forum), I know a lot more about cars than audio.

I use Zaino Z5, only a polish protectant for me.

I agree with others in that the B&W Gloss black finish is gorgeous! The dust is not so bad and the marlan head of the 802 diamond is the only part that gets most of the dust.
