My Ride: My 5 and I met on Father's Day 2008 and have been together ever since. 20" Wheels (Make TBD), premium package, sport package, AiB V3 upgrade and a Passport Escort 8500 Radar Detector.
Spotted this 545i on the 405 North (Hawthorne Area) about an hour ago.

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I drove down to SoCal last Thu for Jul 4th weekend. Around 6:30PM or so saw a titantium silver or possibly silver gray E60 going north bound on 405 (I was going south bound) and it had an ACS front bumper and possibly sideskirts as well.
Had dinner at a restaurant called Da Lat Bistro on Brookhurst and Heil and saw a white 335 with BBS LMs and RDSport quads with AutoTalent license plate parked near there.

Hmm...where about on the 405? I'm usually on the 405 between the 101 and 118 going various places.

I know...I thought about that too but we were with another couple and their kids and our schedule was pretty much packed with activities for the kids. Went to Huntington Beach on Fri, dinner at Da Lat Bistro that evening, Disneyland on Sat, lunch on Sun and home.

I forgot. I think it was around the Santa Monica area or a bit north of it. I'm pretty sure it was you cause it had black wheels too. hahaha
