Question

I was heading home from work on the southbound 15 today in socal and this guy made me feel like I was driving a freaking '89 Ford Taurus. We were going anywhere between 80 and 110 mph but man, my 545i never felt so slow, HAHA, very impressive

Anyone able to confirm what it was? A new M6?

Zoom in the picture and the quad exhaust is there, likely the M6 as Gene says...

Yeah, it must be an M6. I dunno, the 6 and the top of the line share the same engines, right? So unless it was a 650i, you should have been able to keep up with it, or atleast not been dusted. An M6 is another story, of course.

Looks like Carroll Canyon Road right before Miramar Rd. As for the M6, it looks like it's got Eisenmann Race exhaust, nice.

Those Ford Exursions are fast

Looks like an M6. Those babies can move and look so good doing it. Looking closer at the pic it looks like an upgraded exhaust also.
