Taken on the way to work 11/9/06 at 9:30am. Folks from San Diego will kinda recognize the background. I'm heading south on I-5 right before the Birmingham Drive exit.
Mean looking Cadillac CTS-V. He got the Darth Vader look going. The same model that hollywoodtrash beat a few weeks back. This doesn't mean that every 550i should try and go up against one. The CTS-Vs are lighter and more powerful than 550is. I chalk hollywood's win to being a better driver.

I saw a few E60s tonight too dark to take pics. and too lazy. Also I hate the camera on my V3 so I dont use it anyways. need to get a new phone with a better camera.
1. about 6pm. on the 605 south. a Black 550 in the car pool lane almost looked like hollywoodtrash... M-tech kit and all with black wheels and chrome lip. i cant tell what it was since it was moving... but the plate wasnt hollywoodtrashes paper plate... This one had a red on black paper plate. I didnt think to look at the side mirrors till after... I was too busy checking out the wheels, front bumper, exhaust, and badge
2. Silver 530 parked in between Lucille's BBQ and PacSun at the Long Beach town center.
3. Me.
I was parked in front of Barns and Noble.

im guessing that pic has long beach airport in the back and that sign by the palm tree is for long beach bmw and mini. well about the kit.. i like the rear bumper the way it is stock.. it doesnt really need a new back bumper.. i was looking at the zenetti kit for the e60 with a friend and comparing it to the m-tech and he said the same thing about the back bumper and we concluded that if anything if we had the money we would just change the front bumper.. but the m-tech kit is awesome no doubt but thats just my opinion.

My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
I'm in San Francisco this week for work and tonight alone I saw 4 E60 M5's! I saw countless 545's and 550's too, but was surprised at the number of M5's I saw. The clients I was with kept asking me what I was looking at every time I got distracted after an E60 would pass me by on the street or over dinner. This car is bad. I'm gonna lose my job over it! Hahahaha!
