Ok.... here are my initial pics of my 550i. Sorry some of the pics are dark, but I took them in the parking garage at work (used a coworkers digital camera). Let me know what you think. All I can say is.... holy crap, what a ride! I am actually excited to do my commute in the morning now.

Spectacular!

You should move to another "reserved" parking space at the end of a row so you can avoid door dings, at least on one side.

I just don't know why -- but every time I see pictures of our cars, I love it.
Take your next set of pics with sunlight. Black is the color with the most class and the sun
will reveal that. Congrats again -- enjoy!

I fall in love all over again everytime I see pictures of the E60 it's just amazing, and the even more amazing thing is that it even looks better in real life!!! Mr. Bangle you have a fan for life.

You need to change your parking space number from B160 to E60!

Your ride looks great!!

Congrats on getting you car and getting some pics. The 550i is awesome. Funny how your car looks just like mine. I am glad you got it! I am at 850 miles and because of the sleet and ice today in Dallas, I won't be driving it until the roads are swept and clear. That should be sometime next week.

Here in Texas, they don't use salt like they do up North when we get winter precipatation. They use alot of sand, I do think it has some salt in it, though. But they usually only treat the bridges and overpasses and after it melts, usually within a day or two, the sand creates shrapnel on the road way. A nice sandblasting effect. JDN and the other Dallas/Fort Worth E-60er's will have to be careful the next few days.

Luckily, my 550 is not my dailiy driver, so I don't have to worry about it getting blasted. The blasting is worst on the freeway, which my wife doesn't drive for her commute, so both e60's should be fine.

Stay safe everyone.

Congrats again and sorry for the tangent...

Regards, Mike.
