On a separate topic - I followed a 320i Touring into work this morning (in itself this is not unique being that that particular model probably outsold the mondeo last year!) however this one was sporting a 330i badge.........why on earth do people do it?? Those who have even the smallest knowledge of BM's and would therefore understand the difference between a 320i and a 330i know that one single straight pipe signifies a smaller capacity motor!!!!!!

Here endeth the rant

Am I the only one that finds this a little sad? (or am I the only one to be bothered?!?!?! )
Question answered! I am obviously the only one bothered!

WOW, saw a silver gray debadged E60 with the M6 wheels during bumper-to-bumper traffic on 101 around the San Mateo area last night. One word...., AWESOME!!!! I'm use to seeing the M5 wheels on E60's, but this is definetly a breath of fresh air. The M6 wheels look sick on this vehicle. Gave the owner the full shout out! (thumbs-up, flash high-beam, and a few honks)

saw an alpine white M5 going up Brand blvd in Glendale 2 days ago right by the 134 freeway. I turned around and heard a roar. As I suspect it was a beast.

Driving on North I-405 by Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza around 4:30pm Friday evening 3/9/07. Was surprised to see an Asian woman behind the wheel of such a pimped ride. Most likely her husband/boyfriend did all the mods.

2006/2007 Titanium Gray 550i with M-Tech Aero kit. Looks like riding on 20" wheels with springs or coilovers.
