Ajith's E65 BMW 7 Series


According to the source, in the second pic, the car is parked in front of Rajnikanth's house!

The fourth-generation E65 7-series was produced from 2001 to 2008. The Hydrogen 7 is the first production BMW to be powered by hydrogen. Although previous generations of the 7 Series had long-wheelbase and protection variants, the E65 was the first iteration to use specific chassis codes for each version. E65 was the designation of the standard-wheelbase version, E66 was the long-wheelbase version, E67 of the high-security (armored) version and E68 of the Hydrogen 7|.
The E65 generated much controversy, due to its radical styling and iDrive user difficulties. Nonetheless, the E65 broke records to become the best-selling 7-series iteration ever, especially after its 2005 facelift

Mammootty's Ex E60 BMW 525d




From the source this was spotted somewhere along the Bangalore-Chennai highway. It is said that this car is now used by his son Dulquer Salman who is also an actor. Undoubtedly this cars also bears a 369!
The BMW E60 is the fifth-generation 5-Series, produced from 2003-2010. Its non-traditional styling (designed by late BMW designer Davide Arcangeli) and many of its features received mixed reviews. Despite criticism over its exterior design and interior electronics, this became the best-selling 5-Series.
The E60 represented a significant step forward in technology over the previous generation. The controversial iDrive interface is used to control many aspects of the vehicle. All-wheel drive returned as an option to the 5-series for the E60. The E60 535i is the first 5-series to use a turbocharged petrol engine.
