Its so funny, less than 4 hours ago, I'm driving thru NYC and on Amsterdam and 79th and I see a familiar looking blue e53 with powdercoated wheels and the hazards were on with them flashing slightly blue.

I said to myself "I think I've seen this X before" and I pulled over as a guy returned to the X. I asked him if he was on Xoutpost and it was BMWX54.4! We chatted for a bit and then he was off and I had work to do. But if I hadnt seen him I'd have no way of knowing who it was.

If he'd made a post saying "Member Blue X5 e53 4.4 2001 NYC" I would have easily been able to at least narrow it down who it was (had I not had a chance to stop).

BTW, dude has a WICKED Remus exhaust!! A sound clip would do this exhaust no justice, I'm serious.
Aren't blue blinkers illegal? I remember doing stuff like that in highschool...got sick of the stupid fix-a-tickets. Clear corners w/ clear bulbs LED's that flash yellow to keep everything legal is the way to go.

His exhaust isn't Remus. It's actually some $25 mufflers from ebay...there is an entire thread about it. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-mufflers.html From a guy who can't afford to fix his transmission so he can use 1st and Reverse, I hope he hasn't resorted to lying in an effort to sound as if he actually has money. As long as they sound good though, that's what's important since I've never been a believer of the old age saying "you get what you pay for", especially since I went w/ $120 Magnaflows instead of $1200 $$Dinan$$ mufflers.
