So, check the tails, and make sure the software for the tran is up to date. Man, I couldn't stop thinking about it last night. The only thing it doesn't have is the rear entertainment which is fine with me since I don't have kids yet. I has everything else I wanted when I got my 550. I took the 550 cause of the V8 and it was my first BMW. So now I mind as well have the features I want. Damn, those sport seat are awesome!!

I made a picture to see the difference between 2010 and 2007
The tails in the new model have less lines check if you can upgrade the tails before buying because the new tails looks better

My Ride: 2007 550i
I have an 07 550 like yours and the funny thing is the X5 4.8 is my perfect "other/replacement" vehicle. I think they are SUPER cool looking, especially the white one that was posted in the thread (although I prefer grey or black). Anyway, I don't want to leave my 550 for a while but this is the car that I am always looking at in cars.com. Funny how yet another 550 owner is looking at the same car I am, if I were to replace the 550.
Anyway, I think you have made up your mind. Don't be a stranger here!

I love it, do it! It looks beautiful and sexy too.
I was in an X5 the other day when I was checking out a members car he was purchasing in brooklyn from Maryland. I was impressed, it drove nice, handled nice, and felt sporty too as well as "truck-ish" if that makes sense..lol.. and the one i was in was the smaller engine in the diesel! It even had some pick up, lol..
Good luck with your purchase though!
