Classic story. Seems as though it could be a bit of viral marketing, however?

"Police sources identified the driver as Martin Birkmann, a BMW brand manager and test driver. The vehicle, which had New Jersey dealer plates, appeared to be a new version of the BMW X6.

Mr Birkmann didn’t press the correct button on his key fob to remotely turn off the engine to his car, and it runs so silently that he didn’t even notice it was still on when he left, a source said."

An alert passerby called the police after noticing the vehicle, a SUV, was parked directly in front of the main entrance of the Museum of Natural History on West 77th St.

Within minutes, a bomb-squad team arrived, smashed the rear and side passenger windows, and determined the vehicle posed no threat.

Ahhh yes.. The world we live in today. No shortage of paranoia.
How nice.......
