I've just dug out my photos from the day - full reg is M254RBW. It was at a BMW Car Club meet at Harewood House last year.

I've got a couple of L reg tourings, but I'd love to get hold of a M reg one! We have a personal registration plate in the family that bears a strong resemblance to the second half of my username, And I'd love to put it on one of mine!

Old prefix reg's would carry over from one year to another.
Saloons on late H plates and J plates (and some even later) were just registered late, not neccesarily made later.
I've owned 2 red 325i sports, one was a H Jan 1991, which was made in July 1990, and the other a J Oct 1991, and was made a month before the H reg'd one.
