Just spotted two 525i back to back in San Jose.. one black, one white...
the black 525i was going down Yerba Buena Road.. had an aftermarket trunk spoiler (forget the name on that one) and chrome faced wheels
.. must have just got cleaned/waxed because it sure was shiny, not dirty like mine from the recent rain.. tried to pull along side, but I made a left to get on 101 south and it kept going straight... oh yeah, it had a personalized plate "NH 090" or something..
then when I exited Blossom Hill Road, I spotted the white 525i.. also with chrome faced wheels
.. I was going to pull next to at a stop light, but decided to make my right on Lean Ave and go home instead..
San Jose E60s rockin' the chrome wheels today!

I spotted two M5 E60s in San Jose today... the first one was easy to spot because when I came out of my daughter's pre-kindergarten school, a black sapphire M5 beast was parked next to me.. the owner was getting his kid into the car, so I chatted with him for a few. he said he just got it a few days ago.. nothing like parking next to a M5 to make you want one that much more 
... then when I exited Blossom Hill from 101 South, I spotted an indianapolis red M5!! first time I've seen that color on the road.. female driver in that one

Spotted Olskooldj on Saturday afternoon. He was leaving the Chevron at McCarthy ranch. His car was looking clean as always. 
I was driving my Integra, like always.

It seems more logical and appropriate to have regional sightings threads so VT started one for SoCal and I'm starting this one for NorCal.
Post up guys and make sure to provide pics whenever possible.

That would not be my first choice....

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
Saw a Silver Gray 545 with wheels on it driving on Great America Pkwy towards the freeway and then turning right on that street that goes to Mission College/Mercado 20. Then saw a black 550 with tinted windows half a mile after as he entered 101 S in front of me.

Hey Sam! Sorry we didn't hook up!
I go to the Ranch 99 market every Saturday after closing shop. Gotta get the groceries ready for the following week.
