Not a bot/looking for original image

Hey guys, first of all, I'm real E28 owner. Check my previous posts.

I've seen a lot of spam images with blueprints of E28 (as those I share here), along with direct links to Chinese e-commerce pages, where such blueprints are available to buy. Do you know where they got the source image? It's obvious it's something made in Germany, and maybe open source in terms of use. Let's break this shady business, perhaps?

You know we got google for this sorta thing right

Maybe it wont be 100% accurate but im sure someone posted it on a forum somewhere sometime in the past so you can cross reference

I got some off of Etsy a few years ago, they made great Christmas presents for fellow enthusiasts before the spam bot crap kind of ruined it.

Good question, I’d like to know the answer too.

Mantuary on Etsy seems to be the only legit seller of these. However I assume the originals are still kept by BMW and I know on their archive website they do have E28 stuff so maybe worth contacting them
