Okay, back in December 2006/Jan 2007, I already saw 3 E70 X5s in NJ. One on the Garden State Parkway on 12/31/2006, one in East Hanover, and one in Morris County. All within 3 days of each other....

When I got back to my homestead, I have seen more then a couple dozen on the road and in Costco parking lots!

They are getting common out here.

I remember when we first got our E53 X5 back in early 2001, I thought it was going to be a rare sight, but within a couple months of ownership, the X5 was quite commonplace in L.A. and especially our color combo, TiAg/Black.

Being in our area, the car capital of the country, you'll probably have a better chance seen all types of cars then anywhere else.

Not sure if this should be in the lounge or here. Mods, please feel free to move.

I saw a total of 1, and that had Jersey tags on it. I'm going to the dealer Fri. to get my 330 inspected, while I'm there I am going to take one for a ride and see some numbers

I've seen maybe 5 or 6 total. All with Massachusetts registrations, no NH ones yet!

i've been seeing a lot of them, too. i wouldn't say every day, but probably every other. sometimes i have to take a double look to make sure it is an e70 and not an x3.

Other than the one at the dealership I've seen only three in DC (Maryland) suburbs. E53s are everywhere though.

Glad to see someone else from the area! I'm sure there are more people on here from our area but I haven't seen any. I expected tons with the number of E53s here!

I've only seen about 5 E70s and at least one was a dealer's. Have you seen a black sapphire one yet? That's us!
