Thanks again to everyone for the congrats!
Almd,
The headliner is grey. At first I thought I would have preferred a black headliner, but the grey is growing on me.
Simple1, I'm glad that I helped in some way. If I could do it again, I'd probably order the Silver Grey. As I said earlier, maybe next time!
By the way, and this is a big one, the car came with runflat tires, but they are Bridgestone Potenzas (RE 050A ??)... NOT the Dunlops. I was VERY happy to see that they had made the change. I'll post this in the main forum also.
Have a great night,
Mike

BTW thanks for posting pics and responding to all the questions and giving your driving impressions. I've noticed that a lot of people announce that they got the car but then never follow up with driving impressions or pictures...I don't blame them...there probably out driving!

Hey, your backseat leather is wrinkled

Great car!!! I'm taking delivery of my 550i too... in exactly 18 hours!!! Love the interior color. Interesting that your odo reads zero. I thought the factory is supposed to test drive ALL their cars when they roll off the assembly line??? Check out the link below if you haven't seen the Dingolfing plant's website. Pay attention to the video called "Quality".

No problem posting thoughts and pics. I can understand why some folks don't, but this forum was very helpful to me from when I was just thinking about ordering all the way through to delivery. I feel as though I gained a lot from everyone here, so posting pics and thoughts about the car we call discuss and debate is the least I can do.

I chuckled when I read your reply. Great sense of humor on you! The car did run, but as far as I know the wrinkle is still in the leather in the back!

Thanks for the link, and HAVE A BLAST in your car when it is delivered. I can't recall a car that I have had with this much "sneaky" power, be careful out there!
