great they are not that common in the uk still... i see around 6 everyday, and no-one seems to notice them any more :'(
I did see one Black one in London & a black M6 but can't recall seeing any others during my trip.

However their are a huge number of various E60's on the UK roads & close to 60% of the ones i see are M-Sport variants, so it takes a quick 2nd glance to check they're not M5's.

Very funny. If you were in Texas and pulled up into somebody's driveway you could have been shot.

Yeah they say don't mess with Texas. I think I should plan my next vacation in the US with a visit to Texas to see what it's all about.
