Contrary to what I said on another post, I'm not seeing that many E60's in Austin now, I don't know what happen to them
Whenever I see one on the road I just stare at it and the guy/girl driving stares back
The dealer is packed with them (Last week I was there I saw like 15, just on the front lot), there must be good opportunities to get a good deal there.

I am from NC but on this Tiny base called Spangdahlem there are 3 Oreint Blue's, 2 Jet Blacks and one Silver. That is a lot in my opinion for this base.

Alohalc,

Actually I have not seen him yet, however the car is there every day. He probably comes in late and leaves early, lucky bastard

I've got to leave him a note about this site.

How's weather in Hawaii?

Wiu-Bimmer,

Absolutely agree with you! I cannot understand what's going on.

Just read description of you car and realized that I saw car just like yours around UT campus area couple weeks ago (I think October 30th).

When did you buy your 5er?

Serge.

I only see one like once every week here in Sacramento, CA. I personally love that though. I still get lots of stares where no one looks twice at the Infinity G35 anymore. They are everywhere.

Hi Serge,
Was it parked at the gym or in front of Dobie mall? I'm sure it was me. Alumni sticker on the back.
I picked up mine May 10, so far 6500 Mi.

Also, what did you think about the wheels?

I ride the roads alot! (as I travel the NE part of SC and SE part of NC with my job) I can almost count on one hand the number of E60's I have seen in 6 months. (probably 10K miles or so in my company car) I'm not sure what the deal is around here, but it seems that most people would rather have a Chevy 4x4 extended cab Z71 or Yukon than the pure driving pleasure of the BMW 5er...
Of course I live in the sticks, where we have to go TOWARD town to go hunting....

Their loss as far as I am concerned....

there is one in the parking of where i live and one in the parking of where my gf lives. but i didn't want to leave them any note just because people are more conservative in here . i don't want to give them bad impression about this forum .

the weather sucks for the past couple weeks. down pouring in a few days, landslides in a few areas, potholes all over, raining most of the time .

Wiu-Bimmer,

Now I'm sure it was you
The wheels are freaking awesome! How much did you pay for them? What kind of tires did you put on them?

I've picked up mine April 15th. Hey, who was your salesman?

Thanks!
Serge.

Alohalc,

I agree, note may not be a good idea after all.

I guess it's not usual for you guys to have weather like that? Since it's been raining like that maybe you want to trade your E60 for X5?
