We're in the same area - I see tons. If you really want to see a lot of them (and feel really bad about how crappy your car is) take a trip to Tysons II Galleria. I heard an engine start up in the garage that whipped my head around last time I was there - it turned out to be a yellow F430. I generally see a -ton- of E60s there.
While these cars are more common than they used to be, there are still very few sport packages around. Far fewer than the regular ones. I rarely see one like mine.

I went to Georgetown so I know Tysons 2. Lots of luxury cars there, but don't recall seeing any exotics.
Seems M Street is better for that?

Same in NYC. I see E60s almost on almost every block, but few have Sport Packs. Most ppl just get E60s as a family or business car, not a performance car.

I see more exotics out by work though, near Redskins park. Most of those guys have some fat rides and the area Ferrari/Lambo/Maserati dealer is there.

I see too many e60 everyday. There are 3 other girls drive e60 at the place I work.
If I go Grocery shopping in Chinese supermarket on weekends, I usually see more than 5-10 e60 in the parking lot. E-class is much worse.

My Ride: '04 525i, sport package & all the other goodies included
On the way south to Cape May on the Garden State Parkway in NJ, I am fairly often in an e60 convoy. Not unusual to have 3-5 of us "playing" in traffic for 40 - 50 miles. 
I try to stay in the middle of the pack for police protection, but my lead foot, and my natural competitiveness, takes me to the front quickly.

I have had my 07 E60 for two weeks and have yet to see another one on the road here in Tulsa. I see lots of Jaguars and MB's, as well as X3s and X5s all over the place, however. This is truck country.
