It seems more logical and appropriate to have regional sightings threads so VT started one for SoCal and I'm starting this one for NorCal.
Post up guys and make sure to provide pics whenever possible.

I finally seen a white E60 with nice wheels today on Branham near Vistapark in SJ... the car was coming towards me, so I couldn't make out much details... I wasn't sure if it was the white E60 with a female driver that Tony and James spotted before...
