tachyon, if you take an engine picture from the same angle as the ones in the following link, it's likely that Lomag will put it up as the 550 example...

On another note, anyone know what that extra "airbox" like thing is at the front (center) of the engine is?

Oh, and for the stuff that's not so good ....
The I Drive is slow - there is a delay with every click. And Navigation calculations take a while. I had a MK4 in my 740 and the calculation for a new route took about 1.5 seconds. So far the NAV in the 550 seems to take about 10 seconds to do the same thing.
The AC was not keeping up well (and it ws not that hot in Chicago yesterday) until I hit MAX. I've got to look into that set-up.
