Ok, so this is weird. I have rarely ever randomly seen an M5. Sure I've seen them when I've gone to meet up the another owner, or at the BMW dealers around town. But as for random sightings, in the three years that I have been on the look out, I've only seen two. A white one getting gas at the same station I was filling up at (at the same time) in Chula Vista, and in the parking lot at Disney land when I took my family there last year. That was until this week. On Tuesday I'm getting on the 805 south and there is another Silverstone metallic in the lane next to me. It's an '01. We both headed all the way south until I got off at my exit and he continued on. Very cool two random M5's driving down the highway one right behind the other for about 25 miles. Then on Thursday, I'm just about to turn onto Lusk blvd to get onto the 805 at the same ramp as Tuesday, and there is a black one in the next lane over. It didn't get on the freeway but it was still cool having seen another one so soon. Well this morning (Friday) I am headed down H street to get on to the 805 north, and what do I see in the lane next to me but a brand new silver M5. Now the person behind the wheel was having a good time. I was not in my beast and as such was having a bit of trouble keeping up with her. As we got to the 805 I think she got on the freeway and took off, because I didn't see her again.
Three diffenent random M5 sightings in 4 days. I half expect to see another one tomorrow!
