Re:Could it be a Z4 Si ghting?

[bshowalt@xxxxxxxxx]

I saw this same formation around 6:30pm on July 16 in downtown San 
Francisco. The cars were heading west on Sutter St. before turning South on 
Polk. I had to do a double take since this was the last place I'd expected to see 
anything like this. The giveaway was that one of the Z4s had roundel markings 
on the hub of the wheels. All three of the cars I saw were black with camoflaged 
hoods and trunks.
The third, larger car I took to be a 5 series but I did not have much time to figure 
it out. Made my day though!
