I rather like the thought that each BMW will need its own BGP4 advertisement. Boeing tried that for a while with airplanes, and it didn't work out too well.BGP is overkill :-) I thought the problem with the Boeing service was largely financial, their BGP based technical solution did work. At least the number of commercial airplanes isn't too large a number.They could use a fixed car address and use mobile IPv6 with a provider based address.
This is what the intend to do:Slides presented at the ITU Fully Networked Car Workshop may be of interest to you.

Today EOBDv1 can diagnose (quasi online) 849 failures. One of most important advantage of EOBDv2 (but not only it) will be constant, real time communication with service. The best way of them will be indyvidual number for every car vehicles in the world. This number ought to cooporate with global networking - TCP/IP (IPv6). All cars have indyvidual number - VIN (17 characters which indicates on a country of production and mark of the car: digits and letters A-X). Maybe there is time when someone must think about conversion VIN to IPv6 (like it's in local IPv4)? I've a few ideas about it and of course I can share them if you will be intersting in.There is already related work for this. You should be aware of a US Patent of 2005 "Method for Setting an Internet Protocol Address using a vehicle identification number". US 2005/0273505 A1, first hit http://www.google.com/patents?q=VIN+IPv6&btnG=Search+Patents (no comment on its usefulness here...) BMW has also recently filed a patent application with a VIN7 to IPv6 address mapping. It's not totally clear to me what _problem_ you want to solve. Depending on that several options exist. However, I share the concerns that Scott Brim already expressed in his mail.
