Do you guys find people always asking about your car or checking it out on the highway? I didn't so much in the past but I always have people pulling up next to me or pointing at my angel eyes. Not to mention everyone trying to race me, the worst are actually the male minivan drivers, I have them always cutting me off or trying to race. I think the 5 still is one of the best looking rides on the road, even with the new 5 out.

No... not in Miami when every other car is a high end car. In Miami, its just another car.

Down here the E60 is pretty everyday like a Honda. Many days I see more E60s than Accords.

Yeah I don't see many modded 5s at all. Alot of the cars I see modded are ghetto civics or corollas

in detroit the entire city is about custom cars...99% of them are american made or american muscle so yea....when people see modded E60s they turn heads...but a lot of detroit car culture is about turning heads. tons of people check out my car...esp due to my exhaust notes...

once i put these new wheels on going from 19s to 20s...im sure even more heads will turn.

I just bought the 545i so I really don't have any experiences to share, however the only car that turned heads and got comments and notes on my car while parked is my Maserati Biturbo SI. Women just love it!
I do agree with you about the minivan drivers and people trying to race me. I simply ignore them

Quite a bit since adding the kit. Houston has its fair share of exterior modded E60s, but most of them are 525's.
