Thanks. The wife and I actually lived in San Fran for 9 years. Moved back to NY 2 years ago. We bought our first BMW at South Bay BMW in Hermosa Beach.

Going to pick up car at BMW of San Diego in Kearney Mesa, got onto I-805 south towards Clairemont Mesa Blvd from Mira Mesa Blvd. Saw this modded e60 closing in on my loaner. Noticed right away the ACS front and rear spoilers. Was debadged. Probably a 530i. Can tell from small exhaust tips and non-staggered wheels.

BMW of San Diego loans out either X3s or Camrys. All the X3s were gone when I went into the delaership on Tuesday.

I'm multi-talented. I was steering with my feet while leaning over to take the picture.

I've seen a couple lately but surprisingly haven't been as fast as usual with my camera skills. The first was this morning, on our way to pick up a second fridge for the holidays. The hubby noticed her coming up behind us and proceeded to play cat and mouse. This was on the way to one of our busier streets in Miami, US1.. however, it was a Sunday morning. It's a nice 550 though.

Then a few days ago, this guy was racing down the street near my house. Couldn't get that great of a shot.. but I think it was a 545.Sightings thread-54541st.jpg
