Olympic Games Lanes

Well, that's utterly disgusting. Who's paying for these 4000 BMWs then? Apparently they cost 'up to' £30k, but if you say £25k average that's £100 million.

I have asked them via Twitter, I don't expect a reply...

BMW is the official supplier to the olympics.

Therefore BMW are paying. Through the fucking nose.

Whilst it annoys me that the official supplier isn't a British manufactured vehicle such as Jaguar, it amuses me that BMW are going to be in hock for £100 million and be left with 4000 cars that they can't get rid of too quickly for fear of killing the second-hand values.

Edit: here's the list:
The official vehicle fleet will comprise:
Highly efficient diesel vehicles (BMW 320d and 520d EfficientDynamics and 318d)
200 electric vehicles (40 MINI Es and 160 BMW 1 Series ActiveEs)
BMW 5 Series Active Hybrid
Motorcycles (BMW R1200 RT, R1200 GS, F650 GS)
400 BMW Cruise bicycles
Electrically-assisted BMW Pedelec bicycles
