My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
I saw a black 550i in Minneapolis with 124's on 1 side of the car and pewter-colored, powder coated 166's on the other side. The paint was all swirled up, and the m-tech kit didn't quite fit flush in front.

My Ride: 2009 DINAN 135 convertible
I spotted a sweet Amish buggy this morning on a rural county road in Indiana. It had like 48 inch wheels that were painted black and super low-profile "tires" made of wood. It looked like it had about one horse-power. I think it was an LCI model too, because the orange triangle on the back was an LED version....
Seriously, I rarey see ANY BMWs where I live, let alone 5ers. Next time I see one, I'll just start my own thread about it.

Eagan BWWs? Dude, that's my neck of the woods, I live in Eagan, but closer to Diffley and 77. I haven't seen too many e60's with the Mtech kits around here.
I'm in Eagan too. PM me and meet up with us next week. 
I am also trying to get everyone together for a Midwest meet...post up!!

Oh man, I see em all over my neighborhood. In fact, someone has the same 535xi as me with the same color and interior (Black on black) which has been pretty rare for me. Most people I see have the tan, cream, beige, white E60s. I think Black Sapphire and the Alpine White ones are the best looking ones. 
And I rarely see those.

2. I don't drive around with a digital camera at the ready while rolling.
3. My cell camera usually is in my attache case in the back seat--who needs it with Bluetooth?
4. I gave this "sightings thread" thing a shot, but alas my first impression was correct: it sucks!
