The rear bumper on the top pic is an LCI..can tell by the updated area around the plate (where a trunk finisher would go) and the different lower, rear portion the LCI has...with the recessed reflectors and boxier look. So, I am guessing that one is a 528 or 535. Not all 535's come with 124's. Those without sport package come with the 243 style rims, although I can't really tell from the 1st pic if those are 138's or 243's. It could be a 528 with standard 138's.

That 2nd pic is pre-LCI (rear bumper is different than above), pre-LCI rear plate area, and it is probably a 525...if I recall that post.

I hope that was a general post and not trying to tell me...

Over on the Pistoheads forum a while ago someone posted up a photo of a 7er badged as a W12! Someone did a VIN check and it turned out to be a 728!

You're all wrong. The 555 is the new replacement for the 550. You can see it on the www.bmwusa.com website. It's the new E60 with the twin turbo V8. They just updated the site today, I think.

Is this a "made you look" attempt?

IIRC Lee (GoRovers) did that for fun when he saw pics of someone inverting their ///M5 logo upside down. He has a 525 so if you invert the 2, it looks like a 5 but he didn't actually invert the 2, he just replaced it with a 5 I think.
