Backyard G60 Sighting - Commanding Road Presence!

I'm in Northern VA area, and while I was in the Lorton, VA (near BK and the Shell station on Silverbrook Rd) this past Wednesday evening, a Black Sapphire G60 with what appeared to be in full M Sport Pro package and Lighted front grill rolled up on me on. That said, I must say the G60 configured as such has very strong and "Commanding" presence on the road! My eyes just instantly locked on to it. Cudos BMW G60 team!

Edit: Since I entering the roadway,...I couldn't tell if it was an G60 540i,...i5 40e, or i5 M60. I'm not sure if the V8 ICE version is on the street yet.

YES. I have an all black i5 M60, and even our son (total petrol head) says my car looks so mean and aggressive, especially with the illuminated grille!

V8 will only be for the not out yet M5, and it (I believe) will have the plug in Hybrid V8 like the XM has.

Sadly no more amazing M550i V8 for the new/current 5 Series.

The car looks very menacing in dark colors. My tanzanite looks black when the sun is not bright.

I ALWAYS choose light silver gray metallics, but the i5 looks amazing in dark colours (it's my first new black car in 20+ years). Black Sapphire, Tanzanite II and Carbon Black really make the new 5er shine

Okay, I’ll jump in on the fun! We’ve had a very snowy month and a half since I bought it so it’s not as clean as I’d like but it’s a beautiful car and I love that as menacing as it looks, it’s constantly underestimated at stoplights!
