It might be hybrid because there is a badge on the front L/R side of the car. And 4matic badge does not exist - but hybrid might.

Exactly. Here is a repeat of what can happen...

Found these on an old disc.

Story goes BMW film and photography shoot in Cape Town South Africa.
Photographers from Cape Town Automotive media tipped off that BMW are in town filming the new 5er Touring.

Security spots photographers and all hell breaks loose.
One security guy beats up the two photographers.

I think I should become a spy photographer, they would think it's some stupid random kid taking pictures and he won't do any harm (Mwah ha ha ha haa):D
