Is it a 550i with an asian woman driving? I think I saw the same car on the 405 North a few months ago.

Morning commute on 101 N near Santa Clara spotted a stock black M5 with 11-99 license plate frame. Also spotted black 550i with M-Tech Aero kit and aftermarket exhaust. It's not a LCI 550i b/c he wasn't sporting the 172s. The 550i was darting in and out of traffic. For those of you familiar with the 101 in morning rush hour, he wasn't going anywhere fast. It dawned on me to turn my radio off and open my windows to hear his exhaust but by then I was at my exit. 
I had my camera phone in hand but the 550i kept darting between lanes 1, 2, and 3. I wasn't going to pursue just to get a pic.

I saw a silver 5 series with 166 wheels parked in Pavilions in Newport Coast. I saw another one inside Pacific Ridge Community.

there's a brand new '08 E60 at my condo parking garage. Monaco Blue color, debagged, Double Spoke wheels. I would guess it's 550, has complete aero package. Looks stunning. Wondering if it belongs to any member here?
