Haha I caught a 525 or 530 in a parking lot with a full M-Tech kit with a 550 badge and #172 wheels... what tipped it off was the small exhaust and then i checked the brakes and then checked the steering wheel... no Rutherium trim!
Such an embarassment... why was that idiot soooo shameful of his car that he needed to pose and pretend to be a 550 when it clearly wasnt...
Never the less i left him a note saying "Nice 525 or 530... small exhaust, small brakes, no Rutherium trim on steering wheel."

I answered "couldn't care less," but that's only correct in the senses mentioned. I usually look to see if I can get next to one at a safe spot for a little zoom zoom.

Pics? Where are the pics? You need to take pics the next time and post it over on the Sightings thread.
It was a while back. And I forgot to take pics, never crossed my mind...

Back in the 70's when Bimmers were much rarer, 1600/2002 drivers would flash their high beam lights when approaching each other on the road. Although I notice just about every E60 I come across, I can't imagine today's drivers acknowledging one another. Except for maybe at a meet and greet, we're just not as giddy as in the old days.
In a world of throw-backs and retro-I say flash your high beam at other Bimmers! Why not reintroduce the trend! Face it, Bimmers are special cars...we only notice so many because we drive them.

I look for them every chance I get. First I check out the wheels, then the badge... the drivers here are pretty rude so they don't acknowledge anyone much these days..

When my wife is in the car I usually drive her nuts with "look there's an E60" or "there's a black one", or "there's our color". She says don't you get tired of it? you already own one. I tell her no, it's a sickness for which there is no cure.
