The license plate also read something like "I (heart) MY M5"

Jet black on Henry Drive in Manayunk/Roxborough this morning. I was coming out of a sidestreet to turn left just as he was stuck in traffic ahead of me, honked but don't think he saw me.

(Hijack) - I replaced it as part of my total front suspension/steering overhaul to get rid of a mysterious clunking and looseness that developed after 30 minutes of driving (didn't exist at start-up). Their bushings go bad, but I decided to replace the whole thing while replacing the center tie-rod.

It could have been me, but I'm carbon black. My car is so dirty right now, it would be pretty hard to tell what kind of black it is.

Spotted a carbon black with euro clear headlights on el camino real in Oceanside ca headed north at about 3:15 pm. Gave you the thumbs up. It's always nice to see another beauty on the road. Anybody on the forum??
