Many celebrities confess to having a love of cars and driving; some even spend a considerable amount of time and money building up collections of cars for their own personal garage. Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, for example, can count such vehicles as the Lamborghini Gallardo, Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin Vanquish and BMW M6 among his collection.Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele is another footballer whose garage is full of hot wheels; a Mercedes McLaren SLR, Ferrari F360 and a Mercedes SL65 AMG convertible are among the cars owned by the Dutchman. Meanwhile Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard can boast a Porsche 911 Turbo, Mercedes SLK, Aston Martin Vanquish and BMW X5 as part of his fleet of motoring muscle. Cristiano Ronaldo has owned an Audi R8, BMW X5 and Ferrari 360 among his cars, and his name features on a waiting list for perhaps the world’s ultimate car – the Bugatti Veyron.

However, perhaps the ultimate car fanatic from the footballing world is David Beckham. Beckham’s garage counts the likes of the Ferrari 575 and F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, two Bentley Arnages and a Rolls Royce Phantom among others. Beckham also has an armour-plated BMW X5 and once owned an Aston Martin DB7, with the registration plate ‘DB7′. Cars such as these are all a far cry from Beckham’s first entry into the motoring world – the humble Ford Escort.

Film and TV stars aren’t immune to owning top-of-the-range vehicles either. American actor Ben Affleck has owned an Aston Martin DB7 and Dodge RAM, while Brad Pitt can claim to have driven the Mercedes G55 AMG. More modest cars owned by film and TV stars include the David ‘The Hoff’ Hasselhoff’s BMW Mini and Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe’s Fiat Punto.However, no celebrity car is complete without a personalised registration plate. Other famous registration plates include magician Paul Daniels’ MAG 1C, singer Englebert Humperdinck’s EH 1 and business tycoon Sir Alan Sugar’s AMS 1 which is regularly seen in the opening sequence of the show ‘The Apprentice’.

HAVE you ever wondered if the dark night Batman has a BMW? Certainly it is not the usual BMW.  If you if you had a hard time imagining it, an 18-year-old designer will try to help you and pour it into an engineering drawing. Tunisian Oussama Khalfi, the designers of this machine, does not clearly mentioning the type of engine he want to use that fit  his fantasy car. What clear is, that this  coded BMW X9 model, has come to represent the line BMW’s original design combined with the usual forms of vehicles used by dark  knight.

If only Batman uses this vehicle, surely the American people would not like to see it because it was considered that the hero has lost nationalism, just as the British secret agent James Bond 007 Aston Martin when he left it and replace it with a BMW. Back to the main topic. If you noticed, though Khalfi Oussama successful and seemed very adept at pouring out stripes characteristic of BMW’s design into the picture, but it seems there’s one thing he had missed in terms of naming. X code is used by BMW to mark the models of their SUVs and crossovers. So it is supposed to be 9 Series Concept
