The BMW 633CSi is a model of BMW built between 1976 and 1989.
In 2015, Griff Tannen owned a heavily modified hover-converted version of the car, which was a convertible orange and black model waxed for him (two coats, naturally) by his grandfather Biff Tannen. Griff accidentally smashed his left taillight with his bat while swinging furiously at Marty McFly.
Actuality
Anyone expecting to see in 2015 a futuristic, flying BMW of the make and model featured in Back to the Future Part II is going to be disappointed, as the BMW 633CSi is no longer being produced.
As far as is known, BMW have no plans to produce a flying model in the foreseeable future. But maybe one day...!

The flying customised BMW 633 CSi from 'Back to the Future II' was the ride of Griff Tannen, the grandson of Biff (from BTTF I & II). Other than landing outside the Cafe 80's and being whacked by Griff's baseball bat, the car does not get to play much role in the movie.

Happy Back to the Future Day! It's really awesome that today is finally the day that Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled to 2015! Also, it is my birthday so it is even more exciting for me.
No cheating, no compositing, just curves, noise reduction and sharpening. It helped that the standard tripod mount thread hasn't changed in a century.
That's my Mom's antique folding camera. I used my Dad's Tamron 135mm telephoto from his Pentax.
The Hilux 4X4 is a pickup truck manufactured by Toyota, marketed just as "Toyota Truck" in North America from 1973-95 with no model name mentioned in advertising, promotional material, or on the trucks themselves after 1975.
In 1985, Statler Toyota received a delivery of a new truck painted in black. When Marty McFly returned from 1955, the improved present placed the vehicle in his garage and he had possession of the keys. Its license plate number was 2BAK860.
His plans shifted to driving Jennifer Parker up to the lake; however, Emmett Brown's arrival in the DeLorean time machine from 2015 halted those plans. Marty would return on Sunday to find Biff Tannen waxing his new truck. He drove to Jennifer's house and woke her up from the porch swing he and Doc had placed her on back in 1985A.
Marty and Jennifer drove past Hilldale where they had a recollection of the future, when Douglas J. Needles and his gang drove up beside them and challenged them to a drag race. Marty declined but after being called "chicken", he braced for takeoff. Marty drove in reverse at the turn of the green light and watched as the near lane was soon taken by a Rolls Royce, which he might have hit had he continued racing.
Marty drove Jennifer to the site of the DeLorean's destruction along the train tracks when they heard the sound of the pedestrian warning bells at the railroad crossing.

Tomorrow is October 21, 2015, the day Doctor Emmett Brown and Marty McFly arrive in (their) future, by way of a flying DeLorean. That's tomorrow.
For now let's cast our eyes back to October 21, 1984. "Back to the future" was still many months in the future, the DeLorean Motor Company had evaporated in bankruptcy after losing millions of dollars, and the car's namesake and creator, John Z. DeLorean, was only two months past his acquittal on Drug trafficking charges.
The taint of the corporate failure and the allegations related to the drug deal ended John Z. DeLorean's storied career, and the car itself was only slightly less tarnished in the public eye.
The DMC-12's protracted development, underwhelming performance, spectacular initial quality problems, and then the spectacular fall from grace of it's founder and even others related to the company - former Lotus managing director Fred Bushell would later be convicted for fraud in matters relating to the Delorean Motor Co. - meant that the cars faced a very uncertain future.
Although the DeLorean did sell, it was not a huge success and unsold stock soon began to pile up. On February 19, 1982, the British government forced DMC into receivership. The factory stayed open until May, completing cars. Over the summer of 1982 DeLorean tried various ways of saving his company but to no avail. His arrest - it eventually came to light that he had been entrapped - came on October 19, 1982, and the company slid into bankruptcy not long after.
The unsold stock, and basically everything leftover from the company, were purchased by Consolidated International, a retail discounter better known for it's primary story - Big Lots. Consolidated's owner, Sol Shenk, had snatched up the remains of another failed supercar - the Bricklin SV-1 - in the 1970s and had done quite well selling off the cars and parts that remained from that venture.
The DMC-12s Shenk bought did sell - and so did the parts - but they couldn't be sold at a price high enough to ever repay all of DMC's debts, or return the car to volume production - a few DeLoreans were completed in a facility Shenk had in Columbus, Ohio, where most of the DeLorean parts inventory was shipped.
And it seemed like that was that - the adventure over, the lawyers continuing to battle it out (lawsuits over the DeLorean continued well into the 1990s).
But then came Doc Brown's time machine, and the DeLorean got an entirely new lease on life.
The car fit the film perfectly - not only because of it's futuristic apperance (almost a decade after the prototype debuted, it still looked new in 1985) - but also because it was plausible that Doc Brown would choose a DeLorean (cheap, available, exotic, fast) in a way it wouldn't have been plausible to choose a Ferrari or some other exotic.
The blockbuster success of "Back to the Future" got an entire generation interested in the DeLorean, and firmly established it as a cultural icon of the eighties, rather than as an automotive curiosity.
In 1995, long after the end of the DeLorean Motor Company and even some years after the "Back to the Future" phenomenon had subsided, a DeLorean fan purchased the entire remaining parts inventory from Consolidated and founded a new DeLorean Motor Company, in Texas.
Many DeLorean enthusiasts had already been modifying their cars to go faster and handle better, and the new DMC began helping with these efforts as well. In time, the popularity of the DeLorean led DMC to produce entirely rebuilt examples - effectively new cars in the way an MGB re-created with British Motor Heritage parts is a new vehicle - examples you can buy today, with a warranty.
The DMC-12 seen here (yes, it is being driven with the door up), which has some modern updates, is serviced at a branch of the new DMC - DeLorean Northwest.
Today, DeLoreans are arguably more popular than they were when new - good ones sell for considerable sums of money ($25,000 buys you a decent usable original, the price goes up with upgrades, provenance, and condition) and with modern upgrades they're perfectly usable as regular automobiles.
You wouldn't have predicted that in 1985...

I've seen them at shows, but you don't tend to pull up at your local country pub and find one parked up.
Not the best photo but couldn't not take one.
I didn't take these, but this was the cake for my wedding a few weeks ago. The cake was the clock tower and was red velvet. It was done by Caryn's Cakes in Atlanta.
History
By 2015, taxicabs, like most vehicles, were able to fly, which rendered transportation much quicker than when they were road cars. However, the fares were much more expensive compared to the previous century.
The DeLorean time machine nearly collided with a taxicab when it departed from Lyon Estates in 1985 and appeared in the wrong lane of Skyway C25 on October 21, 2015, facing oncoming traffic.
On the same day, Biff Tannen followed the DeLorean, with Doc and Marty aboard, to Hilldale in Cab B25 from the Luxor Cab Company. Fred, the cab driver, had an intelligent parrot named Priscilla that could read the amount of the fare.
The cab had its own entertainment system consisting of "200 local channel stereo, mobile phone, food, beverage and snack dispensing systems". [1] Biff may have made use of this facility to pass the time while the vehicle was stuck on the jammed Skyway C25.

The Citroen DS Taxi is the very first vehicle seen in the year 2015 - a remarkable 60 years after the original launch of the DS road car. The DS Taxi still looks more modern than a majority of the taxis on the road today - though the Toyota Prius probably comes closest.
Old Biff uses the DS Taxi to get about in Hill Valley through the 2015-era part of the movie.
This Lego miniland scale Citroen DS Taxi - 2015 (Back to the Future II) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 96th Build Challenge - The 8th Birthday, titled - 'Happy Crazy Eight Birthday, LUGNuts' - where all previous build challenges are available to build to. This model is built to the LUGNuts 6th build challenge, - "Your Claim to Fame" - a challenge encouragingthe builder to create an iconic model with some level of popular culture reference (to ensure lots of interweb exposure) - in this case, this model is created and loaded to the interweb in the lead up to October 21st 2015 - the day that Marty and Doc Brown arrive in 2015 from their original timeline in 1985.

For you non-Back to the Future fans out there...this is a DMC-12 made by the DeLorean Motor Company of Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. It was made famous by the Back to the Future trilogy, in which a DeLorean is made into a time machine.
I found this one exploring upstate New York with my buddy Dave. We pulled into the lot of a closed repair shop to photograph some old Porsches. As I was exploring a baby blue vintage 912 I hear Dave holler "oh my f***ing GOD, you got to see this..."
When I turned I almost passed out...really.
It bleeds 1980's.
Every time you look out of the window time changes what you see. But not through these windows of a hypermodern tram passing through the old city center of Amsterdam. The buildings remain the same, they are stuck in time, for they are never to be changed, by law they are to be preserved.

Back to the Future Courthouse Hall Park (CE 2018)
Album for more details: flic.kr/s/aHsmKraNku
For the 2018 Calgary Expo SALUG decided to do a Back to the Future diorama, representing a section of Hill Valley as it changed throughout the years between the 3 movies. I was asked to do the park in front of Courthouse Hall from 2015 (BTTF 2), and another member built the Courthouse Hall to go behind my park.
I scanned through all the parts of the movie where the park was shown, frame by frame to get a good idea of the layout. The footprint I was given was not scaled to the actual size of the park (square vs. rectangular), so I had to adjust things to fit, and actually ended up rough planning it in PowerPoint - first/only time I've ever done that.
It turned out alright, and I especially enjoyed creating a new style of tree and doing the foliage/flowers. It was only ever shown at this event, and taken apart shortly after.
