As the little boy said in "The sixth sense:" I see non-sport E60s. 
Seriously, seems that in this corner of the country I see mostly X-drive E60s and the few RWDs seem to be mostly non-sport. We have our own version of the Grand Canyon on our roads and anything over 17" would pretty much guarantee at least one cracked or bent rim a year.

Same here. I am one of the only E60's I have ever seen on the road that has shadowline, is not an X drive, is lowered, and has any mods at all.

When I'm in Atlanta (especially on the northside) I've noticed more V8's (mostly 545i's). But that's no surprise since that's where most of the money is.
In my neck of the woods it's almost all 525's and 530's non-sport. I've only seen one 535i and it had next to NO options. Its kinda funny since its the same color as mine - I've parked right next to it once and the differences between the two are glaring. I've only seen one 550i where I live and only one "M" when I took my car in for service.

We're on opposite ends of the same pole - I actually live in Douglasville. Its been almost a year since I've driven that far east on I-20, so probably neither one of those cars you saw was mine.

Well guys, I'm in Morrow so I don't see many 5 series on my side of town at all. I work in Buckhead and that's where I see most of the ones I see. Sounds like we have three sides of the perimeter covered so we need someone from the north side to speak up.

1. OEM 124 Sport wheels
2. Shadow line Trim
3. Slightly lower ride height
Of course all of those things could potentially be added for non sports.
Also, after reading this thread, I notice about (5) E60's a day on average, but only 1 or 2 tend to be sport packages.
