I was driving on Interstate 5 North today heading towards Los Angeles stuck in typical LA conjestion. Sometime around noon near La Mirada, I spotted a Titanium Gray 550i with M-tech aero kit and 166s wheels. What was most interesting was that he did not appear to be lowered but the wheel\tire combo fit quite nicely. It looks like he was running with the actually M5 tire dimensions. Sorry to say, but I didn't take a picture this time around.

Saw titanium (?) grey E60 today at MCAS Miramar MCEX parking lot around 1pm with e60.net decals on back windows and AC Schnitzer on the trunk lid.
Though not an e60, also had a stealth (totally blacked out) M3 with quad exhaust tips blow by me on 56 (Ted Williams) eastbound from the I-5 Sunday around 3pm. He (?) exited at Camino del Sur.

Do you know if the e60 was debadged or not. Did it have the ACS front as well as the trunk lid spoiler? I took a picture of this e60 a few months back on I-805 heading south of Mira Mesa.

What a coincidence, I saw a alpine white 525i on the same freeway with acs front bumper.
At the same time no less.

I'm not sure if this sightings thread is only for Cali but I see E60s all day in NYC. Still I thought it was interesting that this past Saturday I saw two 5ers with temp plates in Manhattan. One was black and had Prestige (stealer in NJ) plates and the other was Mystic Blue. Both were in the Union Square area. I still have temp plates on mine and I thought I was the only one not waiting for the 535 to release. Anyone on this board?
