Nice looking car! I'm a sucker for the new M5s, myself - but with a little bit of arm twisting I'm sure I could settle.

Well it couldn't have been an '06... but I thought the same thing when I just saw 550.

Just for you dude. This is a local guy's car in Austin. You should see his other cars.

I like bimmers, but dont like how big the 5 and 7 series are. I'm a big fan of all of the ///M's though

And those are the CCW's I almost got for mine

His camaro is to die for, wonder if there's pics of that anywhere.

edit: nevermind - I found it http://www.popularhotrodding.com/fea..._ss/index.html





(notice the lack of exposed wiring)

yeah, apologies in advance for the hijack, but that car is stunning in person, belongs to a guy who goes by "SW", he owns an exotic car dealership here in town and has several amazing cars, last time I saw him he was driving a new GT-R, not sure if it was his or a customer's, he also mods all his cars including his exotics, he's got tons of $ and pretty decent taste. (He also has a 2jz swapped Sc300 built by Boost Logic, that thing is the uber sleeper )

alfy, I gotta tell ya, it's even prettier in person. We have these local car shows where he'll bring out one or two of his collection. The Camaro is real crowd pleaser. Even though it's just a parking lot "show", he'll trailer it in, drive it off the trailer, let everybody take a good long look, and then puts it back on the trailer to take it home.

You would think the owner would be jerk, but SW is a very nice guy, and will tell you anything you want to know about the cars.

If you're ever in Austin...

I swear I have a picture I took of it somewhere in my archives.

Really nice 550, black of course being the best color for bimmers, IMO anyways. Livin in the lap of luxury.

I was looking at 550s not too long ago. They are a pretty sweet deal used.
