Congrats on your BMW. But I love your Ferrari. You have an awesome collection. But didn't you get the M5. Is it available in your area? Actually I haven't seen the 550 or M5 yet. They should be getting the 1st M5 in Hawaii in the next week or so. 
congatulations again and please post some pix of your 5.

Finally 360HP is pleanty for me ... in Toronto there are very few places/times when you would actually want to have more than 360HP. Osama

The guy is right, why do you want a SMG 550 when you can have fun in the F355. I guess this car is his daily transport.

2004 545i, silver gray, tan leather, steptronic, sport, nav, cold package (on its way out...)
osama -
congrats on the car. your reaction to it is great to hear as I await delivery of my new 550 any day now. i had a 2004 545 with fairly limited extras and steptronic, so i decided to get a loaded 550 with SMG to have more feel for the great engine. the 545 is awesome. i cannot wait (but have to!) for the 550.

My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors
Can we get some pics of the interior? We can't get the aluminum trim interior here on the 550 and I would have loved it!

Hi Osama,
A-A, Many congrats on the new 550i and welcome to a great forum - a great combination, I have a 535d Sport with a similar set up, bar the heated rears and HKL7.
Best regards
