You are killing me, but congrats - what date did you order your 550? mine has not arrived yet....
I think you and I ordered the same weekend, or even same day. you will have it any day, and it will have been worth the wait!

relax!

Yeah I know but an entire weekend is passing and no car; must be the Aero kit making it take additional time. UGH!

Did you ever decide what to do about wheels/tires? I think I am going to get 166 rims from my dealer and the Dunlop sport maxx summer tires. Those will be summer and RF with be winter.

PLS post so pics and for my sake, a lot of them!!!

Gonna be a few days before I can get pics.. but, nothing different than any other black on black with 124 wheels.

I would love the 166 rims, but since I canceled the aero kit, I am thinking of just leaving it the way it is. the rims are gorgeous with the aero kit, but but themselves, they are just really nice.. Next car, I'll go gorgeous!!!

It seems that you change your car every couple of years! I'm thinking of upgrading to the 07 550 as well. Do you normally just do a trade-in or sell it privately?

Congrats. I'm sure you'll get the handle on those vento seats in July or August at the latest.
I given the choice back in January, I'd ditch the CD changer too.
