Not got much response when originally posted in the sightings forum so I thought I'd dig up some photos of some of the E39's I've spotted this year.

Do shout out if you recognise your car in the following:

All of them taken in West/Central London during the past year.

Ashok, you see more M5's than anyone I've ever heard of

That does seem to be a large number of M5s. Must be the West London location and all that money in the area!

My most recent 'spot' was in traffic outside Liverpool St station a couple of weekends ago. He was going South, we North. We both had windows down so as I went by I said "nice car". Seemed to raise a smile. Anyone here? I think it was a W reg car but can't be sure of my memory.

I think the alternative thread is on the number of fake M5s seen. Can I start the ball rolling at two fakes in one day?

Number one - Black with right wheels, mirrors and badge. Wrong exhaust. - Wiltshire yesterday.
Number two - Silver with wrong mirrors and exhaust. Couldn't see the wheels as I was driving home on the M3 at a reasonable speed.

There are so many fakes out there and without exception they're really sad. Interesting to see how the drivers all look the other way when a real M5 turns up

Here's a dozen more genuine London M5s I've spotted - can't believe none of these guys are on the board - anyone recognise any of these cars?

It seems like some people are having Meets without M5Board Consent!!

I had a look through....nope, none me

I do drive through London sometimes - any pics of a Lemans Blue reg. X3** ***?

Not me either - they are all too clean!

LL02 *** is a beauty..and there appears to be another ahead of it, unless that was yours..

Anyone know the exact paint code/name for this one?

Cheers,
