Any better shot of the plate? [:heink]
Most probable a movie-fake. Either "BD" (for government-cars) or the -legendary 1956/57 collectible, the letter "I" on one plate, but not both.

Annother fact has to be mentioned, too: in the 50ies and 60ies the West German government had no BMWs in their fleet. The rumour goes around, that when such a "Barockengel"-BMW was presented to our first chancellor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Adenauer , he lost his hat by entering the car :D For that reason the Mercedes 300 [W186]/[W189] were chosen, plus the W111/112 for low-spec ministers. For that reason, these two Mercedes 300-models got the -still nowadays known- nickkname "Adenauer-Benz"
