I was thinking this one wouldn't be too hard! But I looked for a bit and you're right, not that easy...

Is the challenge issuer allowed to participate?? 

Still looking?

Haven't gotten much of a chance yet unfortunately

i've devised no other strategy besides trying to find an enthusiast's home that you might know.

i've cruised wealthier areas in places with higher BMW sales (Germany, the UK, California) and have found 2 bmw a couple of times, but no luck on 3.

The few locations I knew for a fact that had more than 3, google maps skipped the road. This has to exist.

I have run into a few times now, that rich people have their entire house blurred out. This is a hard challenge.

[m42b32]

Ive been trying as well, it seemed like it would be an easy one... I figured one of you or someone you know would have a packed driveway!

Since it has been over a week of trying, maybe we could expand the terms to 3 BMW's parallel parked in a row?

[straight6pwr]

that's far too easy, i already saw that in my numerous usages of the VAC shop. i think this (actual) challenge should stand. for a while, anyways.

[YoungCR]

Agreed, keep it going! I’ll throw in a prize?

BMW cool guy with a sweet pink mini cooper

I think we will find one, it will just take some time because there is no way to cheat unless you know someone, and the google car just so happens to catch it.

Odd mix of signs as well. One says "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere", and the other one says "hippies use side door"...

I found an E28 with gold wheels!

If this were a challenge to find a set of 3 or more Benz / or Audi in one driveway, I would have one last week. SHeesh!

Been there. It seems like Miami is the place to look. I have come really close a few times. Its weird, Im getting excited everytime I feel like im close.

[straight6pwr]

dont forget the time warp trick. when you find a house suspect of multiple BMWs, check to make sure there arent other dates of the street view to try and catch a different arrangement of cars.

It was covered in almost ever year except for one.

IVE DONE IT

although you cannot see the white vehicle or silver convertible clearly, if you change the position and/or date both forwards and backwards, you can confirm that the white car is indeed an e83 and the silver is an e46
