Seems to be somewhere in Atlanta. Wish I could be more specific.
And the 5.7 in New York

Seen this Black 840 on PCH yesterday, seen it a few times at the hand car wash on PCH, Long Beach, Ca. Gave mutual thumbs up, Took a photo of him flooring it on the 710 Frwy N/B about 1pm, Looked very special in my rear view mirror, Especially at that speed.)

His looks like it's seen better days

ok that alpina is jaw dropping gorgeous... It has a plate.. so im guessing its been federalized and imported and all... Lucky guy. Im sure he paid a pretty penny. Looks like it just left the showroom.
Yep, fully federalized and US legal. However, I think it passed as an 850CSi and not as an actual "Alpina" which is technically another manufacturer in Europe. That's why it's a big deal Rogbmw was able to federalize his Alpina B12 5.0 as an Alpina.
same here! Still a while until I can try it out...but the necessary pieces are easy enough to acquire so I'll definatelly give it a try down the line. If I like how the trim pieces look, the last part would be re-doing my sport seats in the same two-tone scheme.

While leaving a parking lot at a plaza, I saw an 8 go by on Sloat Blvd in SF California. He honked and waved at me. His, if I recall, was a steerling silver and in good shape too. This just shows you how rare and special our cars are, that when you see one unexpectly, you just have to wave as a form of respect due to similar taste.
Forgot to mention 12/20/13, after filling up the tank on Ocean Ave in SF California, a gray color 8 followed behind me. It was dark, approx 11pm, but I thought the front lights looked familar to me. I switched lanes to allow the 8 to pass me, it was a female driver. Car was in good condition, but I wouldn't say excellent- - - Updated - - -
Could have been mine as I do remember taking 87 but not sure of the exact date.

Watching Chasing Classic Cars and spotted this 840 on the lot. He seems to have these every once in a while. Nice wheels. I think this is one of the best auto shows on TV. No crazies.

^ Great show. Though I wish they showed more of the cars getting worked on in the garage.
Good one!
Sure it was Steffen? I don't see the Hybrid badge. LOL.
I saw a Silver 840i on 270S this morning ~9:30AM, MD tags with a spoiler; A black gentleman in a suit & hat, I honked and waved in my E34 beater. I might have met you at a local meet once upon a time.

'nother reddit post. Figure you E31 folks in Texas are pretty close. Anyone here?
Snow?
From the 2013/2014 winter season in Germany I wonder what the heck snow is?
And now you want to tell me that Steffen is driving in snow in Texas?!?
I bet that Steffens parents and grandparents told him quite different stories about winter seasons in good old G,
but this winter is one of the warmest ever since the start of weather recording about 150 years ago!
Snow disaster in the states, water disaster in GB?
Long lasting autumn or early spring in Germany!
Just a question of definition!
Spotted this Green E31 on 3-8-14 on 8th St. just west of LaBrea, Either Hollywood or West LA... Was nice and Clean too!
I spotted an black 840ci on Friday 4/18/14 and Sunday 4/20/14 night getting on 59th street bridge upper level from 21st street queens manhattan bound. It appeared to be the same one both times.
I know we have a thread for this but I have never gotten a response. I saw a Red 8 on Sunday the 27th on Skyline and Great Hiway in San Francisco. I was in the Black 840. Anyone here in that Calypso 8?

wasn't me, but the M Coupe board has a sticky thread called "coupe spotting thread". Its always near the top of the message board. Makes for a nice place to go if you spot one!
