Who's E55 is this? Spotted in RWC 3/10 @ 5:20PM

I spotted this great looking E55 in my parking garage that I couldn't help but snap a picture of. The rims on it were absolutely stunning (Look similar to godfather's- but black face with chrome lip). Also had personalized license plate. Clean car. Belong to anyone here?

Sorry for the blurry iPhone picture. I had my hands full and this is the best I could come up with

Sorry- I doubt the owner is trying to hide his identity with a plate like that though. I would go back and change it but the other posters have already put it in their reply.

Edit: I was going to go back and change it but I can't anymore. Moderators, feel free to delete if you feel it's inappropriate.

Front=20x8.5 / 245mm tire
Rears=20x10 / 285mm tire

I am using a 5mm spacer in the rear but I think you may be able to get away w/o it but it would be so tight that a grain of dirt getting between your spoke and brakes may scratch your caliper.
