Edit: big thanks to HumanPerson and their friend for potentially figuring it out! It seems to be a BMW F10!
Hey there! I’m not trying to find a perp committing a hit and run or anything, just curious on what make and model this car could be!
I was following it on the interstate and couldn’t ID it then, and can’t ID it from my dashcam either. And was never close enough to get a clear view until he hauled ass and disappeared. I thought it was a Kia sports car at the time (k5 or stinger) but can’t place the tail lights
It doesn’t seem to be a kia, Subaru, Ford focus (hatchback), or Corvette to me. But I’m also not entirely sure of the exhaust placement or door count!
Here’s the clip I got the screenshots from: https://streamable.com/9hu10f
Thanks in advance!
My friend who is better at identifying cars than I says f type BMW, probably f10.
Taillights and the reflectors on the f10 look like a match to me, I think that might be it!
To me it kind of looks like a mid 2000’s Lexus IS 300 https://www.clublexus.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/2002_IS_300_02-scaled-e1662036080626.jpg
It may be one of the older generation 3 or 5 series
the M340i suggestion is the most likely imo, otherwise, could be a mercedes? CLE 300 seems possible
That’s an awful photo to go off of but based on the exhaust placement alone, could it be one of the newer Civic hatchbacks?
Edit: I googled and no it’s not a Civic hatchback. The tail lights are completely different.
Think of it like an identification challenge ;)
I figured, after the Kia adventure proved fruitless, that it was a civic/civic type R as well. I’ll be uploading a short clip of it moving soon
Edit:
Here’s the clip as previously mentioned: https://streamable.com/9hu10f
The rear reflectors being horizontal and so near to the taillights seems distinctive to me, but i can’t place it exactly. Tail light shape is some what unique as well, I think that’s two distinct light sources? Finally what I can only assume is a centered exhaust?
My only guess is an Acura Integra Type S, but the position of the license plate doesn’t seem to line up relative to the other elements. So probably not.
Y’all got any more of them pixels?
Sadly I don’t have any more pixels, I do have a video of it in motion if that’ll help at all
I was considering trying to use some kind of AI upscaler but I’m sure any one that can use video would cost some monthly fee
Idk if the video will help tbh lol. If we remove the expectation of a center exhaust, and I squint really hard, I could maybe see a 2019 BMW M340i - those have reflectors, taillight and license plate in similar positions.
Unfortunately You probably won’t have a conclusive answer from these pictures heh.
Edit: there are also trailer hitch receivers available for the M340i for bike racks. That may explain the single pipe in the middle??
Most likely not, but it was definitely worth a try lmao. I didn’t even consider that it could’ve been a bmw!
Here’s that clip from my dashcam: https://streamable.com/9hu10f
Hope it helps!
So many pixels.
Looks like at least 6
Not a car person but I don’t see shit and will be impressed if someone can identify this😂👀
I would be too!
My technique involves trying to match up tail lights and exhaust pipes, I’m sure someone else on here has to have an eye for other specific identifying details though (even with a blurry low resolution picture!)
It’s a blurry car
It is a picture of a blurry car. Much more better.
Solved!
