Cryokid: Thanks for the post. Everything you said makes sense to me. So many people who have ridden with me clearly do not enjoy the rough ride. The racing comment is pretty funny too - the car is definitely a magnet for challenges from 25 year olds - something that has no appeal to me.

And yes, it would be nice to have both cars, but there is no way I can justify that, financially or otherwise.

Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful. I'm sure there will be a couple of days when I miss the convertible, but I can't wait for my new 545.

M3 gets a V8 soon, either '06 or '07. It should haul

550 will replace 545 this fall. So I think its worth to wait a bit. 367HP, 490NM torgue.

BMWUSA.com does not list any info on the 550. The only new models shown are the new 3 series and the M6 (which is listed as available Spring 06).
