Get over it, its no different to any other P plater getting an exemption to drive to work.

That's a little naive. On what grounds could he ever say this is warranted?

If it is because of any BMW sponsorship and they want him to drive their cars, well he could be driving a base model MINI for all it's worth, or the cheapest, most gutless 1 series available. There is no possible reason he "had" to drive an M3...

I believe it might be warranted, lets say hyothetically for 2011G6E for instance, he has an old WB V8 ute sitting at home and neither he (or his wife) or his son could afford a vehicle, but he's a trades person and wants to commence his first job or apprenticeship. There must be somewhere that this situation comes under consideration and is approved.

If you look at it further, if 2011G63 was loaded and bought his 18yo son a brand new GS ute or something of like and then applied for an exemption clearly a point could be made that the GS was unnecessary.

There is absolutely no way on this planet that this scenario can justify his exemption short of "money talks", really..
