Spotted!!! 2011 550i!!
This evening, I saw a 2010 550i in New Rochelle, NY. It had NJ Plates and NOT the BMWNA plates. This was a full fledged 550i with the dual exhaust tips. Anyone on here?? The color was a reddish with a beige interior. Anyone on here???

If it's a 2010 550i, then it's not an F10? As far as I am aware, there is no "reddish" color offered for the 2011 F10 *or* the 2010 E60. Are you sure what you saw was an F10? Sophisto Grey seems to have a bit of purplish tint in dark, but I doubt it looks anywhere near red.
Also, I am not sure whether I follow your logic behind the state plate. The last I checked, BMWNA isn't a state (hence cannot issue a license plate). Why does carrying a NJ plate indicate an individual owner, not a test or executive demo vehicle for BMWNA? |

It is probably one of the stolen F10's. Please call the NY Post.

I'm sorry. It was a 2011. I spotted the car as soon as it passed me by. These plates on the car were private; not the usual DTM or Dealer Manufacturer Plates we see from BMWNA.
If I was to contact the NY Post; I don't know what good it would do considering where the car actually is. The license plate began with the letters "VN" I believe. I know that working for a car dealership currently, all new plates are beginning with the letter "Z". These plates could have been placed on the car to make it look like a "transfer" but something does not seem right.

I believe that it maybe some type of reserved series for those cars that are lent out by BMWNA for the journalists to test, or something to that effect. |

I don't know; I don't think there are many 550i's running around the Northeast.
