Overseas student probably.
Expensive car? It would be lucky to be worth $10k, probably closer to $5k.
It's a 15yo E60 525/530.

How in the world do you come up with tbe drug mule suggestion?

Gotta love that people have the time to take photos and speculate, but don't think to pull the cover back over to stop it blowing off completely and becoming a hazard.

Seems to be a reflection on our society. If you're hit by a car and lying there bleeding to death, everyone will whip out their phones instead of offering first-aid.

on a defence base i visit there is a r32 gtr that has been there for months, it had a cover on it then the wind started to pull it off and now its gone, you know what im not doing? im not going near anyones car to pull its cover back down and risk scratching it, no way am i being blamed for anything.

the nice side effect is i get to see a r32 gtr everyday

the photo of that car was also taken through a fence, should they jump over the fence at an airport to cover up a old car?

It might be an anti-theft device. No one will want to touch it.

Adelaide BMW with COVID19 number plate gains worldwide attention
A BMW with a coronavirus-inspired number plate has been causing confusion in Adelaide after it was left at the airport months ago.

It sure is one way to remember the coronavirus pandemic.

A BMW has caught worldwide attention with its COVID19 number plate after being left at an airport for months.

Adelaide Airport staff were puzzled why the 5 Series sedan had been sitting in the carpark since as far back as February.

But it seems the mystery has now been solved, with a spokeperson for the airport saying the owner had been contacted after the car made headlines yesterday.

The owner is interstate.

Airport worker Steven Spry said the car had been left there since before lockdowns started.

The car had a cover over it which was blown off in April, revealing its unique number plate.

“You’d think a family member would have gone to get it,” Mr Spry told the ABC.

After sharing pictures of the car, Mr Spry said he had been gettings calls from around the world.

Another Adelaide man also came forward with photos after seeing Mr Spry’s, sharing a Snapchat video he took of the car in late March.

“It obviously stood out straight away … I took a Snapchat video of it and never thought of it again,” Dan Parfitt also told the ABC.

“It was pretty early in the proceedings before it really kicked off here.”

Coronavirus was declared as a pandemic in March and officially labelled COVID-19 on February 11.

In Queensland such a number plate would not be allowed.

“Due to the significant health and economic impacts of COVID-19, this combination would not be available for sale as a number plate in Queensland,” a spokesperson for the transport department said.

But in South Australian the transport department said words could be used that are openly said in the community, even if they are in poor taste, cheeky or attention-seeking.

Photos of other cars with number plates including COVID, Wuhan and virus have also circulated on social media in recent months.

Bold bit was in regards to the WEPN issue.. funny how 1 state can say it's offensive yet another says its all above board if the word is in regular use.

Go figure.

Looks like SA is smarter than some other states.

Wonder if QLD would allowed covid18 or covid20 since they are nonsense words that don’t actually exist.
