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 ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
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

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.........
