There's a few here in Tally, FL. I mean like 3 or 4. All of them 530s and 525s, so far I'm the only one with a 545i..

12 months ago when I got mine, they were much less common.? The indoor parking garage of my office building now has probably 10 of them, and they are becoming a regular sight on the highway.? Not as many as E classes -- and most aren't 545s! -- but I do think the design is growing on people, and now it isn't ugly, it's just distinctive to people.

(I never thought it was ugly, but some others did.)

The E60 in the UK is now a very common sight. Driving along the motorway the other day every time I glanced across the road I saw one or so it seemed.

Just wondered if they are now as commonplace in other countries as they are in the UK?

A 5-series BMW is a Premuim mark car and isn't that usual anywhere, even though it is a high seller in Germany.

In Finland my cars costs about 70.000 ? (USD 84.550 or ? 48.000) but even here I see similar cars everyday.

But if you own one you'll see a lot of them, because you look for them.

Do a test: i.e. start looking for black cars of any brand; You'll see a lot of them!

There are mostly 530's and 545's here. Few 525's but they're only recently available. They are distinctive. Seen a couple of E90's as well. Not too many 760's.
