My Ride: 2010 BMW 550i. White with Black interior, M-Sport, Sport Auto transmission, value package, comfort access keyless entry
Default

Just picked up my first BMW. An Alpine White/Black CPO 2010 550i with 28K miles. The M-Sport package with 19" wheels really attracted me to the car. I would've been happy with an equally equipped 535i, but I had to have this car after seeing it at a local BMW dealer on the showroom floor.

I know next to nothing about BMW's, so I'll be lurking here hoping to learn from you all.

She's a beaut! Welcome to the Forums! You can learn much more than you ever envisioned by perusing various sections and digging in. One wee lil word of advice: up the limit of your credit cards, because once the mod bug bites (and it very well may if you hang here long enough), you will be HOOKED!

Two good choices - first the new-to-you 550 and then joining this forum

Thank you all for the warm welcome and nice comments about my 550. I'm sure I'll have questions once I get more time behind the wheel.
