The dealer I bought my BMW from has over a dozen dealerships in our area; Jaguar, Mercedes etc - lots of cars to pick from.
I drive into the parking lot at my local driving range, and THERE IS MY CAR (pic of mine below). I mean exactly my car - jet black, tint, debadged, and my 19" BBS wheels. As I'm walking out, I meet the car's owner, nice guy, and he's the son of my dealer! He said "I saw your car in the lot, and that was the best looking 5 series I've seen". So he puts together the exact same car! Nice compliment - he could have picked pretty much any model to drive, but MY CAR???
...Aaaargh!

That's a great compliment. Too bad it isn't as unique any more.

My neighbor said he was going to do the same thing with my 525 (color, wheels, tint etc...) so I sold it to him and bought a 545

Hey wolverine,
You have one of the nicest e60's out there! I can see why he'd do it.
Sucks to not be individual anymore. Hopefully he won't drive it too much (at least where you can see him).
I'd take it as a compliment... But it still sucks!

Hi wolverine:
What a great compliment made by the owners son. But it is too bad your Bimmer is unique any more.
(LOL...I was just thinking maybe you have an old girlfriend you looking to trade in, on a newer and improve model, LOL,
And if so, you might take her by the BMW dealership, and give her to the owners son, so he then will be able to sport her around town also in his "Wolverine" "Want-A-BE" Bimmer! 
(By the way, What Kind, and where do you buy that wax that you use on you BMW? That is one nice shiny wax job!)
Now I am Just Kidding!!! but seriously I love your 19inch wheels! (I just broke down $$$ and bought a set of 8X18s BMW Parallel M wheels last week from The Wheel Exchange for my E60 530i, SEE BELOW)

This guy is the son of a bmw dealer and he doesn't know how to make his car individual but just copies a clients car???
It is a nice compliment but I would be annoyed after spending a large sum of $$$ and some guy just copies it.

Nice car Wolverine.
Maybe the topic should have been "copy", as stolen it isn't.
BTW, you didn't happen to have an Audi A4 about 7 years ago do you?
