Not that I go around waving and nodding to at all the E60 drivers I see but I was surprised this morning... I came to a stop at a red-light on an empty road right next to another 545?same color as mine and he has 19?s or 20?s on his car?.I look over at him (at least wanted to give him a head-nod or compliment him on his choice of cars) and he wouldn?t so much as look in my direction?two more lights and the same behavior?I was over it as soon as it happened but it was a bit surprising. I have to assume that if you buy a 545 and you?re rolling on after-market wheels you?re in to cars at least on some level?oh well probably just me?whatever

He was a bit older?I?m in my early 30?s and he looked to be 45-50..but still

He was from the nearby bodyshop, and was test driving a customer's car after a body/paint work... ... maybe

Ya I dont get some people somtimes... like you said... if their running a 545 with aftermarket wheels you figure they're SOMEWHAT into cars... *shrugs*

ch7656

reasonable assumption....but probably not the case at 7:00 on a Sunday morning

yeah if it wasn't for the really nice 19's/20's (and the same car in the same color) I wouldn't think much about it...but that's what threw me off.

Obviously not an e60.net member...no red rear reflectors

That can be it tooo... he wanted to be the only person on the face of the planet with a 545 thinkign they were rare... so he got pissed when he saw another one.

This is the most likely scenario.

I rarely see another 545 on the road.... but even when I see lesser E60s, I still smile and nod. But I've never once gotten a smile or nod back, from anyone.

Most everyone I see driving E60s are 40+ year old ladies or men.... so I guess the courtesy goes out the window with age.

Or maybe old people just don't care enough to look around them and notice other people's cars?



There is this one guy who I see every so often that has a 545.... and I always laugh at him because he's one of those people who always wears his Bluetooth headset everywhere he goes. He even wears it in his 545... I want to smack him and say "Your car has bluetooth, man... lose the stupid earpiece."

alohalc

he just stole the car and what do you expect from him? wave, say hi, stop and chat with you ? j/k .

Yea, I've noticed near 100% of the 6ers I see with people with a phone up to their ear. They can't all be pre-03/04 builds.

I give every E6xer a thumbs up bit rarely, if ever get a response. Although I did get a nod from an E90 the other day. He came up from my rear and I was certain it was a 5er until along side. Looked cool especially in its Black color.
