Title says it all, my 2008 550i is now for sale, it has been a fantastic two years of ownership but the arrival of a new M3 means I now have one car too may (according to my wife!).

Picked it up last night, I only have a cell phone photo from the dealer lot. Now I have to show some restraint for the next 1,200 miles...

Beautiful! I see the Competition Pkg wheels, what other options? I know what you mean about the 1,200 miles, will be tough to avoid stepping on the gas.

Did you order the M3 or did the dealer have it on the lot? I went for the sedan, but you can read that in my sig. Will be arriving by boat Sept 28 so could be at the dealer by the second week of Oct, maybe even a bit earlier!

Thanks for the fix...

Looks like the apple did not fall too far from the tree. Does it also have the grey interior? Both look very sharp!

Nice. I'm thinking about doing the same thing. You got the comp package. Did you get the DCT?

Dealer found it for me and had it transfered. It was pretty much how I would have spec'ed give or take a few minor options. It has:- Competition, premium 2, Nav, DCT, premium sound, PDC, iPod & sat radio.

Interior is extended bamboo biege with carbon leather. Looks really sharp.

I actually went to the dealer to buy a 2011 550i but decided it wasn't for me after the test drive. Very impressive car but it just felt too big and heavy and a bit detached from the driving experience. A blast to drive though - can anyone say torque!

So long story and I ended up with the M3 - great car.
