Cool! We're in prime time!

Well, here's another pic of a 545i. You can't tell from the blurry pic but it seriously needs a car wash.

Found in the garage basement of my g/f's apartment in Marina Del Rey. Taken 10/6/06.

At LA Fitness in Kearny Mesa around 6pm Monday 10/9/07. Was a modded 550i. It was either Silver Gray or Titanium Gray. It had the M-Tech Aero kit, chrome 166s and rear spoiler (not the M rear lip spoiler).

I see a few E60s here and there but hardly any that are modded. There are three other E60s in my work parking lot. Actually, one of them has the M Tech kit. Wonder if he's on this forum. haha

I saw three E60s on the commute home through the Berkeley Caldecott Tunnel this afternoon. The first was an apparent de-bacged 525i (based on the Style 138 rims) non sport. Does de-badging count as a mod? The second was a 530i sport in titanium gray. The third appeared to be an '07 550i (based on the plate number) from Weatherford BMW. It was titanium silver and it had the M kit and was cruising on Highway 24 towards Concord. Wondering if the driver is a member. Sorry, didn't have jiio's spy camera so no pics.

So, coming back from Rubio's in La Jolla Village Center near UCSD around 1pm I saw this 545. His/her license frame looked to be carbon fiber. It would appear that this individual knows about the red reflectors.

Dude , THATS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, carbon fiber. Did you notice the E60 cling on the right rear mini window or Auburn interior?

Where were you parked.? I was at the chicks fresh chicken bowl place.

Very cool. I'm always on the lookout for possible members
