Ha! Funny how certain areas are referenced. In NYC, we reference the metro area as the "Tri-State" area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-state_area

Someone had their First Edition parked out near the pit area of the main building at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last weekend during the Red Bull Air Races. Takers?

Just got home from west side of Houston. Had a donington gray pass me while I was out there. Such a beautiful color!

If you see 1st Edition flying past you, its probably not me, I drive like a grandma. BTW apart from my friends who both own a Donington grey now wrapped in lime green and pushing around 700HP, and the other marina bay blue. I've yet to spot another F90.

Tesla love is so prevalent in this area, that the first question people ask me typically when they see my M5 (and when they saw my 550i before) is why I didn't get a Tesla.
I live in the bay area. Flooded with newly rich nerds that have no idea about what a luxury car is, just following the eco-crowd. The Model S is a nice bump up from their Prius/Leaf when their stock vested. Tesla quality is absolute sh*t compared to the Germans, even my wife's A4 has a nicer interior than a $100k model S.

True, but you can't use HOV lanes in an A4 without carpooling...

Yeah but who wants that ugly sticker on their bumper? I wouldn't buy an electric car just because of that stupid "access" sticker.

Just use those lanes illegally and keep the windows rolled up...

lol... I still don't at all. Saw the KUNI singapore grey again and that is still the only one I've seen around. I've seen the new Porsche 992 test cars and the new Z4 camo'd test cars more than I've seen the M5 on the road

Yesterday saw the new Ford Mustang GT500 testing and it sounded nuts.

I'm in Chlt and have a X5M blk on Velos wheels with Akra exhaust, tuned, etc.. Trading in at the end of this year for a new M5 so I will be running around sometime soon. I'm near Prov/485. Have seen only one around this area so far (donington).

I also live by the 485 loop so maybe I'll see you around the interstate

Saw a loaded blk/blk parked and running in Sarasota late last week. Went up to driver and gave him thumbs up. Said he went to buy an SUV and ended up with the M5. Did not seem to know anything about it but said, "this thing is crazy fast"

I wonder what percentage of owners are active on these forums...I assume it's a much higher percentage for M cars over all of BMW.
