> I have a vehicle that's basically a BMW

Why not just name the brand?

I assume it's a Toyota Supra

It could also be a Rolls Royce or a Mini.

Or a Grenadier.

That's just engine and gearbox i believe, not really a BMW.

Could be an Alpina

The screen is also BMW.

I assume it's a MINI, which is made by BMW

It could be a small brand not sold in the US that a large portion of the audience here wouldn’t recognize.

If only there was a global repository of information about everything that was readily accessible at our fingertips that anyone here could access!

Excluding whatever's going on in China right now, there's just not that many small brands left. You only have to have a passing interest in cars to be aware of pretty much every global car brand - excluding high end supercars, kit car weirdness and whatever mayhem is happening in China.

because the infotainment system and drivetrain isn't by that brand (which is toyota). the vehicle is, for most intents and purposes, a bmw.
