..O.K., I know that the picture quality from my European vacation wasn't the best part but, on the way to Starnberger this past weekend in my new E90, I caught this shot of the 550i whipping past me. If you look closely, you can see the two number 5's on the badge and I think the exhaust pipes look a bit bigger.

I think it will be pretty quick. It came up on me out of nowhere, and then gradually slowed down, almost asking me to snap a pic. It did begin to pull away (not too fast this time), so I caught up but I think the combination of the windshield, me being nervous at that speed with a new car and just plain old vibration caused the ending result to be a bit blurry. Anyway, I think you can still see the badge.....

Looks like it has 19's with a lip. Definately a rim change is to be expected.

You can tell that from the pic?
Wow...I am glad that some of you have better eyesight than I do. I was waiting for someone to scream at me for not getting a digital camera.

Is that for real or a practical joker putting that on his car?

I thought that, but those kind of silly jokes are usually played in the U.S.; however, anything's possible.
Looked pretty real to me.
