Here are some pics I took of e60s that attended the event:
Pics of my car with 2 other e60s and an e39 M5
Jsal's beast. I could tell b/c of the quad exhaust tips and the 285s on the rear
One of 5 or 6 M5s I saw... Stupid me, early in the morning 3 e60 M5s parked next to one aonther and forgot to take pics!
Merzbow's trunk and interior
Absolute no,no.
This is a 530. I know for a fact b/c it's the same car I saw at Platinum Motorsports on Melrose. I was talking to the owner of the car. I inquired about getting my M tech body kit painted and installed. He did not have the M5 gills at that time.
The Urkelmobile for those familiar with the TV show "Family Matters"
Can anyone tell me what an L7 is please?
