Here’s a quick story you might enjoy
Noticed an E60 with 4 exhaust pipes up ahead of me on the 101 freeway this morning. Took me a few seconds to catch up. It had distributor plates, no rear //M5 badge, fender grills, the round M exterior rear view mirrors, but the non-M rectangular interior rearview mirror. Apparently, a later test mule out of the Oxnard VDC.
Anyway, here’s the crappy pic I took from my phone camera
The driver must have known what was following him (an E39 M5) and knew I knew what he was driving! He immediately downshifted and took off. After a bit of dodging and follow-the leader, he exited the freeway. We both smiled and gave a thumbs up! Seems the factory test drivers don’t mind having a little fun. This is gong to be one heck of fast car when it’s finally ready for prime-time!
…he was faster :wroom:
