Did anyone here get hold of it from Parkway Motors?

YC56 - as an interesting aside, this likely makes the car an-ex demonstrator...

Mine is YC56 and an ex-BMW head office car.

Mine was both of these too until I re-registered it.

Interesting I see a lot of YC registered BMW's. always wondered why.

I seem to pick up 'company' cars, not deliberately, my current vehicle is a one owner Audi A6 owned by KPMG ;-)

YC is the Leeds prefix, I'm not sure why BMW seem to prefer this.

The BMW registered cars come via Thorne near Doncaster so they get a Y* prefix.

Yep mine is YD also registered at Thorne for 3 months before being owned privately:

Its a YX plate meaning BMW. They're BMW UK owned cars to begin with, registered at BMW Thorne in the Yorkshire distribution centre for BMW UK. Press cars, employee lease cars, manager cars etc.

However like mine they can only be owned by BMW for 3 months and then have to be sold on. They usually come with high spec and were usually reduced well following their initial sale.

My car was sold AUC after BMW owned it and then sold AUC again after that owner sold it. It wouldnt bother me if it was an employees car but I've read that press cars can have it a little hard to begin with in life..

Mine is a YD plate and was a manager's car at the start of its life.

Mine was also a YD car before I put my plate on it. It was a car at Sunningdale BMW for its first 6 months and 864 miles.

Originally mine was YF. Pretty sure it was an ex BMW management car

+1 on my old coupe. Most were a good spec/individual colours as a result.
