My Ride: 2006 525xi
I was driving south from Lexington on 128 today (a rainy day), and saw 5 E60's! 1 golden, 1 tt silver, 3 blacks (oh yeah, black rules 
) Are you guys seeing the same thing in your place. I think people are really buying E60's design!

I don't see many here in Seattle, but when I do I notice it. It kind of screams "look at me!" Looks better on the road than in the showroom.

My Ride: 335i Sedan
I was just thinking about that too on my way home, but happily for me, I usually only see 1 or 2 whenever i'm outside so that means the car is still somewhat exclusive! lol and this is in NYC, but i want to see what other 5er owners in NYC think about this? whether it's true or they see more than 1 0r 2 whenever they are driving

On the west side of Phoenix Metro area there aren't many 5's. I have noticed that I have other 5's, older/newer doesn't matter, park next to me or vice a versa when I am out and about though. I don't think I would like to see more though. I kind of like being as original as possible.

aside from the 6-er, IMO the e60's the most balanced bangled design. the new 3-er looks very "weak" the rear end looks distinctly japanese (almost like a honda civic) :'(
the facelifted 7-er looks too "oldish" & the overall design of the 7-er makes it look like a huge crate on wheels.

Spent a week in Nashville recently and didn't see a single e60 on the road. Loads of 3s, 7s, a few new 6s and some Xs. Only place I did see an e60 was in a dealer I passed near a mall. Weird.
