My Ride: 2002 BMW 530i - Silver 2008 BMW X5 xDrive 30d - Black 2007 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro - Silver

It appears that the new 7er will be launched here soon. All the dealers told me they had lots of orders already(maybe from those politicians ). I think they are gonna be very busy with this new 7-series. They said, even the dealer that my sister recommended, if I was gonna order a 550i this June it won't arrive until 2010. He told me those people who ordered those new 7ers are paying big down payments.

A 530i will be fine for me. It will get lots of respect here anyway. Even 520s get lots of respect here or maybe I should remove the 530i badge .

Thanks for all you replies guys. I am absolutely loving it here and I am definitely gonna keep posting.

Damn, that is a long wait for a 550!! Good luck with your 530, I have one and I can tell you - you won't regret it at all. Yes, it has less power, but I think it has plenty of power for my needs and it handles soooooo well. Besides, you can use the money you saved on mods and a good camera for posting pics.

Best of luck with the 530. 6 months is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a car.

Well, congratulations on your FINAL decision.

Also, no need to start a new thread on every thought or action for the same topic. Its easier for people to follow if they are all in one place. Just my 2 cents.

+1 It does have fewer HP but unless you have driven the 550i you probably wouldn't even mind the 530i. I think the power is well distributed (even more so if you get a sprint booster ).

Besides, you'll be at the gas station much less!
