It could well be stolen, who knows. Stolen or not, those tyres aren't the result of a night of joyriding or burnouts, that's months and months of neglect.
Could get them like that in a few days of joyriding tho.
If it isnt stolen, then i would only drive it on a dry day

I could lie and say I was talking generically on bmw, but I couldn't tell which it was, figured I'd take the chance
.I assume (apart from the 1 series) that generally xdrive bmws send most power to the rear?

It is generally rear biased, but I wouldn't say "most" goes to the rear, it is supposedly 60 40.
I have no idea what the bias of the originally-FWD platform x-drive cars is though.

I feel go be pedant 60% is most
as its more than half. I figured it would be close to 50/50 but I agree about the fwd ones, wonder if its 60% front?![QmS9gx9.jpg[\img]](https://i.imgur.com/QmS9gx9.jpg[\img])
Spotted this in the dealer while I was buying my new car. Utterly immaculate. It was - of course - not for sale
I think “finesse” must have been the trim level above as it had 2 extra doors and a towbar

Not really. I do have love for a Merc wagon though. But for me it needs to have an OM606 Turbo.
This happened yesterday. I've seen a fair few accidents on my street, though didn't see what caused this one.
Only just noticed that front tyre tread...
Insurance void?
Well that got dealt with. Gotta looks after the 'aesthetic beauty of our visual amenities'

Well, if you can't put it anywhere, ie. Driveway, what can you do until insurance claims are sorted ?
Insurer will take it away after being written off, as they now own it. I can't see them opting to repair that. Something dodgy going on with it, maybe the owner hasn't told them.
Tell the police about the bald tyres and missing plate too
