A black e39 M5 cruised past me on the belt line going home tonight.

e39, 2004? Body and paint in perfect condition. Not sure the color name, but nice blue. Spotted in Green Bay.

It would be a early model E39 (97-2000), always liked that color too.

I suppose the clue is the hidden exhaust tips?

Biarritz Blue Mettalic, if I remember correctly.  Same color as my '99 540i was.  Pic of mine below.  I think that's a match??!?

Damn I miss that car.....  So much fun.

That actually looks like a properly non-rusted-to-hell E39. For me it's gotta be an M5, though. Someday.

Yup.  I've had several opportunities to run around in an E39 M5.  That car is THE wolf in sheeps' clothing, even 15 years later.  I modded my 540 to the gills, and spent a fortune thinking I'd get close.  In hind sight, I should've just bought a.......  Well, you know.

Saw a dark blue or maybe black E90 M3 at the Nike outlet in Oshkosh yesterday. Brewers license plates: MPW3R. Style 219 wheels. SCCA sticker on passenger left rear window. 

Looked amazing. Who are you?

Lolololol. That's the guy that installed your coils. We were in Oshkosh looking at a 335i together. Lee's M3 is a blast to drive, and it sounds godly.
