A buddy of mine saw asked me the other day about a BMW thought he had never seen before. After describing it I figured that it had to be a BMW 5-Series GT. After showing him a couple of pictures he swears up and down it was one. He said the car looks amazing in person.

These aren't out yet are they? They aren't even in on the BMW website.

 

I saw one on Saturday in Buckhead but didn't know what it was, I guess I should have taken a picture of it. I thought it looked awful in person, but then again I don't really like the look of most crossover vehicles.

 

I saw it at the dealer last week and it looks absolutely horrible...I am anxious to see what the new 5 series looks like which gets unveiled tomorrow.

 

My first car was a red Ferrari F430 coupe driving around Vinings. This car had Florida tags. My second car was seen enroute to Prime Outlets in Dahlonega on I-400. It was a dark red Ferrari F430 spider coming in the opposite direction. If interested, the Puma store at this outlet has a 40 per cent off sale. I purchased several cool Ferrari items, its worth the trip. Here are my other spots:

1.Red Ferrari F430 coupe-Vinings
2.Dark red Ferrari F430 spider-I-400
3.Red Ferrari F430-after market wheels at Phipps
4.Black Audi R8-general parking Phipps
5.Yellow Ferrari F430 spider-Nava
6.Orange Lamborghini Gallardo-same as Friday night, this time driving on Peachtree
7.Black Ferrari 550 Maranello-Fados
8.Red Ferrari F430-with challenge wheels at Starbucks off of Piedmont
9.Black Ferrari 328 GTS-Vinings

I knew someone who said that he learned never to drive his black 308 at night, because no one could see it! Looking at this photo, you can see why he said that. I'm glad my 328 is red.....

 

Nice spots everyone! A few from me lately, though nothing remarkable:

Tuesday November 18:
- black Aston-Martin DB9 Volante at Phipps Plaza valet.

Saturday November 21:
- silver BMW Z8 on Roswell Road near Piedmont.
- silver Dodge Viper SRT-10 at a car wash on Roswell Road near Piedmont.
- black Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph on Piedmont at Lenox Road.

Monday November 23:
- bad photo of a black Ferrari 430 Scuderia on Roswell Road near Piedmont.
- bad photo of a red Ferrari F430 on Peachtree near Piedmont.

I thought your friend got rid of his Gallardo when he got the R8

I love seeing black cars at night, especially Ferrari's. Here's a good example from tonight, an all black LP640 Roadster leaving Lenox, I had a hard time getting a decent picture because I can't hold the camera still for the long exposures. Color preference is all a matter of opinion though and some colors look better on certain cars.

I want to start this out by wishing everyone a ''Happy Thanksgiving''. I really enjoy participating on this spotters thread. Doug (DDemuro)- Thanks for showing everyone how fun it can be spotting cars and sharing photos.

Today brought out three Lamborghini's
1.Black LP560-4 -with Florida tags at the Ritz
2.Dk. Purple Murcielago -near Piedmont and Roswell
3.Black Gallardo -with after market wheels at W

The Murcielago sounded so good when I first heard it today, it made me think of the old days. You could always hear the scream before spotting them. Chris and his blue Murcie and prior to that, Sprite with his Superleggera or his green Murcielago. I hope this one stays awhile. West

I went home to Savannah to see my family for Thanksgiving and saw this 997 GT3 on Bay St. Oddly enough, it's a car that was seen in Buckhead a few months ago.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving

Not sure I really like the blue top, but I really like the 430 in white!

And Doug, (or anyone else for that matter) what type of tag is that? I haven't seen that one.

 

White is my absolute favorite color on any Ferrari and pretty much any exotic, but that blue top is just weird. I wonder what happened to that white 550 we used to see every so often, that thing was awesome!

The tag is for the Georgia Aquarium, we really have a tag for everything here in GA. I was looking through the list of available tags when I was renewing my registration a month or so ago and was surprised at how many different choices there were.

 

Ditto. I like the white/blue combination a lot, I'll assume it's got a matching dark blue interior. I'll bet it looks fantastic out in the sun.

One of my favorite threads here is the one with photos of all the white Ferraris. I remember several years ago drooling over a gorgeous white 275 GTB in the FOA showroom.

Has anyone seen any white Scuds in Atlanta?

 

I haven't seen any yet.

Agree on both points. Thanks for the photo Andrew - if we never see that one again, I'm glad we've seen it once!

Aquarium! Just came out last month. A better shot of one up close is attached.

Hey Andrew, I noticed this car three times last week and each time the driver makes a pass into Lenox and Phipps but has never parked longer then a moment. However on Saturday he did stop long enough for me to take a few shots. The color is more purple when you stand next to it but from a short distance it does appears to be a dark blue. It looks and sounds amazing. Still has the Lambo wheels.

Great spot also on the LP640 roadster I always get excited on hearing a Murcielago!

 

Six cars spotted on Saturday afternoon. The Scud was my highlight, it sounded ready for the racetrack.

1.Black Ferrari F430 with after market wheels-Lenox
2.Orange Lamborghini LP640-Phipps
3.Orange Lamborghini Gallardo-Phipps
4.Black Ferrari F430 spider-entering I-285 off of Roswell Rd.
5.Blue/Purple Lamborghini Murcielago-Lenox
6.Black Ferrari F430 Scuderia-exiting Phipps
