One of my regrets after taking delivery of my 540i was not to have ordered a 550i. So, last week when I received an email from a friend who wanted to sell his 550i at a price I thought was reasonable, I couldn't resist. I finalized the deal with him a few days ago and when I return from my holidays I will be a proud owner of a 550i

Naturally, I'm gonna take a hit on the 540i considering that I've only owned it for like 4 months..but..the 550i is just too awesome for me to ignore. Now I have to sell my 540i..oh joy...

Here's a pic of my soon to be baby

I remember you had this mind struggle with yourself some time ago over whether to go for the 540i or 550i.
Good for you that ya found a deal that suits you!
Congrats !

Good stuff man! I actually had a great time with mine on the freeway today zipping in and out of slow traffic in M mode. Pulls nice and hard and fast. Great car, only thing I can complain about (I'm sure I speak for all V8 owners) is the gas mileage.........
