I was out at lunch today in the grocery getter and had the pleasure of seeing another E53 beside me on my way out. It had a BMW CCA badge on it, so after wondering what that was, I wound up here! The E53 is my daily driver, track car hauler, grocery getter, and I may or may not have disconnected the trailer and chased down a Miata at an autocross event with it.

The very first CCA function I attended back in 2001, by lucky timing, was the annual pilgrimage by the NJ chapter to the BMW NA headquarters. During the meet & greet before the meeting got underway, they had a red X5 4.6is parked on the sidewalk at the main entrance (with another new-at-the-time toy that now escapes me). I think it managed to just sit there and look badass even better than the X5 M does. And, oh, the noise, the wonderful noise when it drove off.... In a Dinan-ized 4.6is, you could have caught it, cleaned it, flopped it on the trailer and hauled it home to be barbecued on a cedar plank. Welcome!
