When I see another e60 on the road, I find myself sometimes looking at/for:
1. The exhaust and the number
2. The wheels
3. The trim
4. The e60 cling
5. The driver.
. . . and thinking, he/she might be a member . . . so I better behave myself.
What do you do?

2. The wheels
3. The trim
4. The e60 cling
5. The driver.

And I bet I know who voted "Every chance I get". 
I always try to check out the other car and try to notice all the details you mention. Half of the time, the other driver don't even notice me.

I pretty much check out everyone I see. Not to be sexist or anything, but if it's a guy driving, I do wonder if they're on this forum...if it's agal...I assume not...only because I have not met a woman driver at any of our meets in SoCal...unless it's a spouse or girlfriend.

I always stare at another E60 whenever I spot one. These cars just look amazing, I also happen to look at my own car when I drive past a row of mirrors or something or glass and i can see the reflection of my car passing by, makes me feel so happy!! 
As for other E60s, I tend to look for nice wheels, body kit, and license number, never bother to look at the engine because most people here drive 525i or 520, which makes no difference to me, and E60 is an E60!
