Yesterday I was in shorts and almost even went to the driving range... Today's a little different.
Stay safe out there! The roads are a mess. I got plenty of unwanted oppo action on the way home from the movie theatre. I recommend you all go watch Lone Survivor . Really good movie.
10 oppo points to whoever guess what obvious BMW model I drive.

Easy. E90 3 series. The narrower gap at the bottom between the light and grill suggests the facelifted (2009-2011) model, or the coupe (07-11, although the coupe's headlights curve up towards the grill). Hard to tell with the snow, but the way it's settled suggests no upward headlight curve... so, facelifted sedan?

Close, but no cigar. Pre facelift sedan. The snow is mostly covering the chrome "mustache" which is always a dead giveaway.

Ah damn. I think the snow is also making the "pillar" between headlight and grill appear thinner, which is what made me think facelifted.
Close, though!

Yeah, you sure do know BMW's!

It's like my favorite game, guessing cars from close up shots. Or even better, interiors. (Seriously, go on facebook and find a picture of a chick taking a car-selfie. Then guess the car based on the interior... it keeps me entertained!)
Once I was able to correctly guess a 2013 Ford F-150 Platinum Edition from just the reflection of the dash in a pair of sunglasses. Was also able to guess an Infiniti G37 the same way. Haha

I'm impressed! When I was a toddler my brother and I used to be able to name every car that drove by. No matter if it was a ford focus or a BMW M3.
Here's an interesting interior,

Looks like an E39 M5 to me — haven't seen one with blue and black 2-tone though!
(edit: window switches on the door, paired with the shape of the shift boot were the dead E39 giveaway. The high number on the tach, 3 spoke ///M steering wheel, and ///M shift knob sealed the deal!)
(edit x2: slight notch, barely visible in the center console armrest, means it had the optional car phone. That and the Nav system means it's an M5 with the tech package!)

Yeah but my knowledge is mostly limited to newer models. I'm terrible at older cars (except for the well known / popular ones).
