The e60 is a quite common car in belgium. It only will catch attention with nice wheels. OR WITH M-PACK That will definetely catch attention.
Usually in their rear mirror with the gasping front of the M bumper.
People in a traffic jam are just standing next to u or follow u at low speed to catch a climpse

In Hawaii, it seems like you get alot of attention. Especially after I put on 20" rims & tint. Alot of other BMW's, MB, and Infiniti's check you out. It's definately an attention getter.
Don't worry your 550 will definately be an eye catcher.

I think if you fix it up it will stand out. If its stock not really.

I am about to buy a 550i and I wanted to ask you E60 owners if people give stares or a quick glance is it a car that gets any attention or it just blends in with the crowd?

Mine gets a lot of attention but that may just be because I normally drive nude.
