G80 in West Town, Chicago?

Anyone in here driving east near Chicago and Ashland (in Chicago) today around 4:40 PM in a dark (I think black) M3 Competition? I was heading in the opposite direction and it caught my attention. First time I've seen another fellow G8x owner around here.

I've only seen 4 locally (downtown) in the last 1-2 months.

Red M3 Comp (West loop)
Black M3 Comp (LSD)
Black M4 (West Town)
Yellow M4 (West Town)

Off topic, but are there any good roads outside the city you'd recommend for some spirited driving?

I'm not sure you'll get recommendations on the internet. Your best bet is to head over to Windy City BMW and meet up with some local members.

I haven't seen this posted here, but this "Indiana Nurburgring" looks kinda cool. It would be a trip since the starting point is a few hours away:

I also wonder where the guys in the SavageGeese videos are driving. They look like fun places to drive.

I've had mine since end of March, and have only seen one other M4 since then. I live in Highland Park though, but commute down I94 and back daily.

I hadn't seen one - and then within a 2 day span saw all those. Haven't seen them again haha. Just took a nice cruise up through highland from the city earlier today - really beautiful neighborhood.
