My Ride: 2007 550i. Sapphire Black Metallic/Auburn Leather/Anthracite trim. Sport/Comfort Access/Navigation/Satellite/HD Radio/HUD/Premium Sound/M Aero Kit/with 50% tint sides & rear. 19" Style 166s.
Exclamation

For the past few months I've been reading and learning from you all. Thankfully I placed my order for my new 2007 550i today and was better off with the knowledge you all shared.

I feel much better, but I know as the delivery time draws near, I won't sleep too much. I loved the car, but when I actually drove one a few weeks ago...that was it. Nothing else will do!

Now I'm anxious to get the VIN so I can start tracking it.

I'm hoping for a mid-June delivery. The dealership says we should make it as they have room in this month's allocation.

Thanks again. I'm glad to finally be able to list my information in my signature. Yippee!!!

I just ordered it at approx 1:00pm EST (Michigan) today 4/19/06, so I'll find out soon. I've been told 6-8 weeks. That will put me into Mid June.

I told them that I had a (wife's) family reunion on the 20th of June, that I need to appropriately "roll up" to. They said I should be fine.

I can't wait though,
Carlos

Congrats.

Nice option list. I check the mandatory "sport" and "L7" options. Okay, Super.

As another car fan, IMHO your rooting for the right team and your player (5er) is one of the team's best. 10 years down the road go for a Ferrari Modena.

Outstanding choice, Carlos. You are going to love this machine. The wait will go fine if you hang out here 24/7.
