Hard to say...
I think the overall appearance of the Bracq BMW is quite unique and distinctive, though similar in details and proportion.

When Grob posted the puzzle, I had though it was Braq's car - an illusion heightened by the obscured wheels.

Hence, my commentary in another thread.  8)

The BMW looks very distinctive because of its flame red-orange paint.
In the very fist white painted version there are many parallels with the Opel to be seen, indeed....

It is the only photo I know that shows the BMW Turbo in white paint, that´s for sure.

It´s a scan from an old playing cards set.

But I cannot tell you if it´s fake...

Looking at the airbrushed high-lights on the glass I believe the artist couldn't resist to re-paint the whole car!  :lmao:

I guess this wasn't the original colour, either:

Regardless, grob's statement is valid.

I, Superbrain, declare this subject closed.  8)

This very sleek design looks so good even more than 40 years later...

I had the rare opportunity to see both the original CD and the wire display car together the last weekend:
