@ V1p3r - Actually, I've no idea!!

@ Avishar - There are a few 996s and older. One 997 Cabrio I've seen.

The white Bentley is from Alipore right Anish?

anish9000 · 11th February 2009, 15:25

Yes the Bentley is from Alipore.
As per the 911 count, there is a red 930 Targa, a black 930 cabrio, a white 993 and the park hotel owner had a black 997 but last I heard it suffered a minor accident or something, not seen the car since then. He has got himself a silver SL 350 pre-facelift.

how come we donot see the RED cars these days - when do they usually come out? i have not seen the BLACK one as well.

what about the white BMW with the loud exhaust?

lover_guy_001 · 11th February 2009, 23:31

Saw a black bmw convertible with Tamil Nadu reg at Russel Street tonight,with two very old men sitting in it.. Couldnt see the model or anything.. But it looked fab...

iraghava · 12th February 2009, 01:55

Anish - Isn't there also a Red 993 with the same gentleman who owns a Red 355?

anish9000 · 12th February 2009, 02:29

@ iraghava- There are no red 993s in cal, gentleman who owns the red 355 owns a red 930, initially owned by Arbaz Khan then me.

@planet rocker- Had seen the white BMW with the exhaust at the owners house. It is a post facelift 318i but I guess it had met with an accident in the past because the front end was quite wired.

@ lover guy - Is the convertible BMW an e46 shape with aftermarket led tail lamps as I rember seeing one in the past but do not remember the registration. I believe it is owned by some share market person.

planet_rocker · 12th February 2009, 10:49

the dark convertible BMW with TN registration plate is owned by the "L" Hotel owner @ Little Russel Street. from what i have heard from my dad - he is a major BMW fan - he also owns the H3 AFAIK.

@ anish - can we get a dekho of the 355? - may be you can mask the regn.plate and post a pic

canonball · 12th February 2009, 11:15

Planetrocker the 355 has already been posted on earlier thread right anish?

check it out.

planet_rocker · 12th February 2009, 12:54

i have seen that

i wanted to see more pics of it.

@ Anish - are you in Kolkata now?

lover_guy_001 · 12th February 2009, 15:35

it didnt look like the e46..this is my second bmw convertible sighting from calcutta.. another guy who drives it has his office near Exide crossing..

anish9000 · 12th February 2009, 17:23

Oh oh I thought you guys were talking about the 3 series the Hotel owner has a 650ci black it had come up on sale a year ago when the car was in Delhi.

@planet rocker - Sorry but I do not have any pics of the 355 nor am I in Kolkata. Maybe we could ask Chargerman to help us.(The one who posted the previous pics and is his relative).

avishar · 22nd February 2009, 16:32

Nice spotting.Is this the only Q7 in kolkata?.I had spotted an x5 in kolkata a few months back...and a number of M-classes.

AyAn! · 23rd February 2009, 21:25

I think there's a Q7 in salt lake...yeah..i have seen many X5s....beemers are common stuff in kol nowadays

shuvd · 23rd February 2009, 21:45

There is a CG registered Q7 here. That driver just loves to chapofy Scorps and Safaris. A beige(?) X3 is very visible in the Gariahat area.
Lots of 520i s and a few 530i s. No M sighting yet :(
