Great work, Sir! I wonder if that other E60(appears to be) in front of the Neon also took a picture of it

Nice find! Did u get to guage anything before he got away? Like the dimensions, or it's preportions at all? did it look cool or was it to hard to tell?
I think it looked smaller than I was expecting probably an affect of the disguise. That's about all I got.

Way too many e60s around here! It was an e60 525 I think nice blue colour. I was trying to see if they were looking at the F10 I doubt they even knew what it was.

BMW headquarters for NA are in Montvale, NJ. I remember seeing this as KPMG has a training center there which I visited on many occasions when I worked there.

Great shot, superspy!!! :lol

From all the pics we've seen so far, even though they're covered up, I do bet the rear lights will be
the same/similar design as the F01.... which I don't particularly like but oh well....

Actually BMWNA is not far away, but this pic was taken in River Edge (about 15 minutes South).

Which at this point means these prototypes could be out and about anywhere in Northern Jersey, depending on who
BMWNA lends them to. I know the camoflauged E60 was up and down the G.S. Parkway many, many times before BMW
unveiled it. And during this summer, I caught the new MB E63 debadged, scooting around Hoboken more than a few times.

Time to change the batteries in my camera....
