Dropped of the 550 today for service....and in return they gave me a 328
I'm soooo glad I decided not to get a 3 series....although there are a couple of things I like on the inside of it, like the center console glove box...there's actually room to put stuff in it....
Oh yeah....and that engine has no co-honnies....couldn't imagine it in a 5 serries....

Thanks....yeah, me too. I'm hoping to get it back tomorrow before the weekend. A really nice 535 passed me in it...and I almost felt a little embarrased as they looked at me when they passed by. Seems so basic compared to the 550

you guys are lucky, so far I've gotten a mitsubishi lancer and chevy malibu as a loaner, I'm really pissed off and felt disrespected in the inside but didn't want to complain as I have a civic as my work car but STILL!!!

And I have a 2.5
Stupid gas prices when I got my car in May influenced getting a 2.5 rather than a 545. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
