Off topic: Anyways, can some tell me the meaning when a person shows you his pinky finger and thumb and twisting his wrist? I'm not good at sign language. ![Think](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/think.gif)

I thought that meant "Hook em Horns!" in Texas.

I would think Hook em Horns would be the last thing you people in So Cal would want to think of for a while ;-)

It seems that most people on the street notice the E60 in a positive way. Usually the only people who hate E60s are the E39 owners.

I love this styling of this car and get compliments on it all the time. I have to admit... I didn't like it at first. It took some time to grow on me. I owned different generation 3 series and each time that a new design was launched, I hated it at first and thought mine was much better. That always changed with time. The E39 was (and still is) a great car. I liked it so much I almost bought a left over to avoid having to buy the E60. Boy am I glad I took my time and went with the E60. The E39 style is dated. Still nice, but dated.

I get alot of compliments and looks when I'm stopped at lights. I had a guy on the highway get on my side and give me the thumbs up and said awesome (I could read his lips). I never understood the critcism of the cars design. I think it is amazing. After I washed it today I stepped back and looked at it from the side and thought how much I love this car.
