Background:
Yes, I know there is a forum for this. I've posted there exactly 5 times since I've been a member: 2007 once, 2008 3x, 2009 once, since then -- I gave up. Responses: 0. I'd hate to calculate Ashok Arora's hit-rate, or the percentage of zero-responses. It's probably safe to say too few eyes go there. Let's see what happens if it's here, posted in one thread.

Suggested format:
[Country/State/City] - [Color] - [Date] - [Time] - [Location/Vehicle details]

Don't forget, there are regional forums you can use, as well.

Around 6:00 pm, I saw carbon black, avus blue? hard to tell since it was an overcast yesterday. I was traveling north on berlin turnpike. That m5 was traveling south.

It was spotted driving near cumberland farms gas station in wethersfield.

Hi Phil,

I'm in there somewhere with my IR M5. Timmay should be there as well.

I was behind a green E39 M5 in PV tonight going down Crest, then making a right on Hawthorne, and then a right on PV Drive. I tried waving to you multiple times, but you just ignored me. I was in the red 930. Anyway, just wanted to say "hi" and ask if you were on the board or not.

I'll keep an eye on how popular this thread becomes, but in the meantime please continue to post sightings in the correct forum. Incidentally, I've spotted a few more E39's here lately.. follow this link:
Sightings / Spotted M5 around the world: was it you? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)
Yes but to be honest, I am NOT about to read through 1000+ posts of "Hey I saw an M5 in England/Germany/somewhere on the other side of the world and I am no where near"

Ill just keep checking this thread.

Today, around 3 PM, 2 blocks from Booth Memorial Hospital in Queens NY. As I was wrapping up a test lap after an oil change (it was too nice a day not to work on the Beast), I spotted a LMB beast in my peripheral vision. Before I could check out his rounded exterior mirrors to confirm, the driver stuck his arm out and gave me a wave. I waved back, taking a good look at the LeMans Blue Beast as I rounded the corner. He made quick work bolting out of first, accompanied by what sounded like muffler delete. Something about a LMB Beast under the sun that makes it look so good!

I saw you last night we spoke for about two seconds but I never asked if you were a board member absolutely stunning carbon black M5 with black/red interior. It looked super clean I spotted it from across the street and recognized the wheels as an M5 immediately my friend didn't believe me at first.

Fairfield CT

Any board members purchase a Carbon Black 2000 M5 with Red/Black interior from the Rochester area?

If so, good buy. That was a clean beast that was babied and taken care of :)
