my buddy is a mechanic at BMW. they bough these last year to put on the roof of a car in the show room. He wants to buy it but I can't tell what it is. That top tube is really distinctive, how it goes beyond the seat tube.

This probably isn't a rebranded frame from another major manufacturer. It's a BMW bike. I bet the spec sheet said something about "BMW designed" frame.
It's made in a Taiwaneses or Chinese factory, attached to some high end components and sold for more than the exact same product from a competitor.

It probably sold for upwards of $4000 and probably has a decent spec. If he can get it cheap, I say buy it.
