It appeared to have been painted blue initially, then covered with a black wrap. That observation has led to a full-scale investigation into the vehicle&#8217;s origin.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok creator Heidi Giokos (@heidigiokos) films a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/796114\/first-bmw-alpina-2027-sedan-v8\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22796114%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22first-bmw-alpina-2027-sedan-v8%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rolls-Royce<\/a> on the showroom floor.

But this car was originally blue. It was wrapped.

That is a claim owner Yusuf Omar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enca.com\/news-top-stories\/omar-i-have-no-business-dealings-maumela\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">vehemently denies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The observers in Giokos\u2019 comments section still think there\u2019s more to the story, and many of them wrote to thank the journalist for her on-the-scene work and to demand further investigation into the dealership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis woman is clever,\u201d wrote one person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, this dealership must be thoroughly investigated,\u201d a second person wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe color is called \u2018Hangwani [Blue],\u201d a third person joked.<\/p>\n<p>Motor1 contacted Giokos via TikTok comment and direct message for comment.
