I live in Sarasota, and I've seen the black on black. I have bluestone metallic. Only one I've seen.

Do you live in Chatham? I'm in Basking Ridge and grew up in Chatham. I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm over that way.

x5man · 11-26-2018, 12:26 PM

Didn't see a single M5 in Boston area... very strange ...

I was visiting NYC 2 weeks ago and spotted a black M5 near intersection of 60th St and 9th Ave.

Short Hills - but go through Chatham often.

Saw a "greyish" M5 in Armonk, NY around 2pm today on Route 120N.

BwoodBMW · 11-26-2018, 07:34 PM

saw an alpine white comp on santa monica blvd near century city. Alpine white looks much better on comp than I thought it would. Car looked great.

Here in Brazil, I would say that easily 50% of the wealthiest car buyers are just like that. They walk into a showroom, ask what is the latest and greatest, and just sign the check and leave. The salesman sold an M5 to an old gentleman just like that, when I was closing the details on mine. I saw the same happen in Porsche dealership, where the guy just left with an 991.2 Turbo S without even knowing what car he bought.

I haven't seen many in the Bay Area surprisingly. I've seen a Snapper Rocks Competition Edition in my campus (but haven't found the owner yet).

I think I saw another on 101 a few months back, but it was heading in the other direction and I didn't get a good look.

Fegelein · 11-30-2018, 05:09 PM

Saw a lighter grey, maybe DG in Chappaqua, NY.

I saw a Donington Gray one on 85 north during morning rush hour a couple of weeks ago. (I have a Singapore Gray F90).

GUNGASLOW · 11-30-2018, 06:56 PM

I saw one! It was awesome!

M-RX · 12-13-2018, 08:40 AM

saw a first edition m5 in Devon, pa. Nice exhaust sound. Might have been akrapovic exhaust

x5man · 12-13-2018, 11:12 AM

Saw a black M5 in Boston on Cambridge Street around 5pm Dec 6 (near MGH). Looked beautiful!

MCOMP · 12-13-2018, 05:34 PM

I haven't seen one yet! Almost a whole year! I did get a wave however from a BMW passing me opposite direction which was cool.

Oswiff · 12-13-2018, 06:55 PM

Singapore grey comp in Summit NJ - frequently parked at the parking lot at Woodland and Springfield Ave.

desertfox73 · 12-14-2018, 08:33 AM

I think it was a black sapphire on the 133N leaving Laguna Beach. I rolled up next to you in the MBB and gave you a thumbs up 👍🏽
