First time I have seen that color on an E60.

To own/drive an m5 as a (presumed) teenager would be pants-shittingly awesome.

I was once 26 and bought a brand new nissan versa and even that was pretty exciting for about 3 days

Not a BMW but still kinda cool.  It's the first Tesla model x i've seen in the wild.  They're as ugly as I thought.20160506_122027.jpg

crossover garbage!

the sloping roof line still looks awkward, no matter how many companies use it. you get such an oddly tall rear end. the ugliest car ever made (pontiac aztek) uses the same shape. its the worst of all worlds - less headroom, less visibility, less storage!

and the 'falcon' doors? can't wait till the complaints start coming in because people can't open the rear doors in their garages.

Interesting observation. Now im wondering if their self-parking mode was created to avoid this issue

No need to wait, multiple complaints already filed with the doors not closing completely and not sensing over hangs and hitting them.  I believe i had heard there were key people from the team fired because of the quality issues.  I may be wrong but i thought they had also ceased production for now until further quality issues are resolved.

Saw a black e28 m5 with M-system wheels near the state fair park

That was probably me. Not an m5 but a built up 535. There have been lots of changes this year and I will get some pics up for you guys when it is complete.
