But the real reason is just that he was backed in, so I followed suit for photographic purposes. I never saw the owner of the orange one. I think it's the same car I saw once before in the area a couple of years ago though.

would take a lot of searching, but that license plate looks the same as the car that BMW gave to the press when that M first came out.

Sure looks familiar.

M3 looks great in this blue. I confess that I thought it was an M5 from a distance. It's huge!
