My Ride: 2006 525xi
I agree with you about the E90. As a matter of fact, I was about to buy the new 330 at first. But after seeing it in person on the dealer's parking lot, I said to myself if I buy it I will regret every day seeing its rear lights. To me, E90's rear light design is a disaster.
I ended up buying my E60, and feel thrilled every time I walk to IT.

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.

My Ride: E60
I still rarely see them in Sacramento, California. Maybe about 2-3 others per week.
At my work, mine is still the only one in the parking lot and we have 1,100 employees on site (I don't know, maybe 750 cars).

In Cairo I see 3-6 cars daily on my way to work (which is around 30 kms). It is quite common here.
The same happened to me. I actually paid a deposit for an E90, then when I saw a silver one parking with its rear lights facing me 
:thumbsdown: , I called the sales guy and changed to E60

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
