My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I visited a small private hospital last night and took a friend out to dinner. I noticed, beside the parking toll ticket shed a diagonally parked silver E39, with M5 wheels. It was spotless, but it didn't look right (stance, etc) While I was waiting for my friend, I noticed the kid (maybe 22) in the toll booth eyeing my car, but that didn't surprise me. Eventually he came out and knocked off a dozen or so pushups in the grass, keeping an eye on me the whole time (thought that a bit odd).
As my friend approached, she actually went to the E39, for a moment, until she realized that I had the new black E60 just beyond it. I laughed and said out the open window: "Gone, but not forgotten."
Later that eveninig when we returned, the kid was closing up and did a real hard stare this time. I said goodnight to my friend and looked around to see the lot attendant closing up shop....and opening up the E39! Now I know why he was staring. Oh, and as I pulled around, I got an answer to my doubts about the stance: debadged. To me that screams 525-trying-too-hard, but I'll never know. We both drove off, in separate directions; maybe he was happy to gawk, but didn't care to solicit any come-ons...
Cheers,
Ray Hull
