I?ve owned the 550i for one year (and 3 weeks), and this amazing machine continues to exceed my expectations, more now than ever. Each and every day it puts a smile on my face ? one cannot ask any more of a car.
Great write up. Have you had a chance to drive it in snow (seriously) and how well did the DTC handle it?

Your thoughts on the 550 are mine exactly. These are great cars. From what I here in a year or two steptronic will be stepped up a bit for snappy shifts.

Tachyon - Thanks for the update! I learned a lot from reading your past posts...a year ago there weren't a lot of 550s on the road so I was reading everything I could find. I ordered mine on 9/9/05 and coming up on a year as well! Is your mileage corect in your signature? I'm close to 25,000 miles
