2010 BMW X5?

    Prev Next

    Many automobile manufacturers head for the remote eastern part of California, both mountains and desert, for summer testing of their pre-production models. Spy photos of these vehicles typically go for thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, no one is interested in mine yet. :-(

      and normally a shot sells for hundreds, only if it's a SUPER new modell of a car that will sells big time it will reach 5 figures...

      and once only one has been entered into the syndication your screwed... that's how it works...

      and try to get a shot of every side, including the licensse plate, that might help if one is not sure... and the underpinnings, in this case it might be a giveaway... bmw is rear wheel driven, if it's 4x4 then it might be a clue... so bmw you need the frontal underpinnigs...

      you have to know your stuff in order to not disregard mules when you see them, it's very easy to make mistakes, it happened to me too, shoot everything, ask here... ;-)

      smokeonit's right, we rarely buy pics of cars unless it's something uber-rare. But always feel free to e-mail us at tips@jalopnik.com. At the very least we can link to your flickr account and give it some link-love. :)
