My Ride: 2011 550i; Alpine White/Black Dakota/MSport/SAT/IAS/Driver Assistance/ConveniencePkg/Prem Pkg 2/4 Zone AC/Side-Top Cameras/HUD & Black panel/BMW Apps-iPhone 4 Media/M Decklid spolier /Ventureshiled clear bra/ V1 -Ordered 4/9/11, Production 4/19, Shipped on Martorell 4/23,Arrived Port Hueneme 5/19,Delivered 5/21/11
Well , wanted a family photo before big brother '05 545i goes to its new home. My leases overlap by a couple weeks, so figured, what the heck 2 E60's are better than 1.
Think I've lined up a buyer for my dealer, hopefully. If not it is still available. Dealer will CPO and let it go for $30K
The new 550i is tremendous. Love the power delivery and multi functionality of Sport Trans. Havent figured out all the subtleties yet, but it is enjoyable experimenting with the different modes.
Love Comfort Access, another prior luxury I will not be without in future.
IPOD integration is light years better than prior IPOD AUX input. Very cool to be able to shuffle play my entire 2700+ songs and see the titles/artists in IDrive.
Leaning against Clear Bra that I had planned on having installed. Advice I've received is that on this somewhat dark car, it will be very visible....Hmmmm not sure Id like that??
Waiting for the M decklid spoiler.
All for now, more later.

My Ride: 2008 Jet Black MTech 550i
2005 Black Sapphire Sport Package 545i
Enjoy, it's a beauty!!!! I love both the 545 and 550 ...but my 550 does get more spoiled than the 545; she gets all the goodies. But then again, the 545 gets all the quality time with the family too. ...who am I kidding, they're both great! Enjoy!
