I have always wanted to ask you this. Why did you go from an M5 to a 550i?...and do you miss the M5? What are your thoughts on the 550i based on your personal experience? What do you do for a living? That looks like a nice neighborhood

Thanks for the reply. So what do you do for a living? Are you a Doctor? Just looking at your handle or screen name.
You guys in the US are lucky. You get better deals. Our payments are higher and you dont want to know what I am paying per month :-) ....even though I got 0.5% financing through BMW Finance.
