I picked up my 550 at the Welt yesterday. What a fantastic experience.
I'll post more information and driving experiences when I have a more reliable (and cheaper) internet connection. Here are some pictures of the car, however. |
It is beautiful. Breath taking. Enjoy it! :)

Going for a ride soon then ? :D ...send pics ! Speaking of gears, the shifter is supurb, and the clutch has far less travel than my E46, and a more consistent pickup point. Once the SAT (sentient automatic transmission - a.k.a. yours truly) better learns the shift points, It will be just as rewarding as my E46 is. The torque is incredible. I delivered a jerky to my hapless traveling companions few times by downshifting too far when I needed acceleration. I quickly learned to jump down one gear where the 330 would need two. Weather and temperature permitting (it has summer tires, and it is a bit chilly here) I'll get more autobahn time tomorrow and report back more. |

Yesterday, we drove to F?ssen. There was not much autobahn time, as the nav only had us on the A95 for about 20km, and only half of that had no limit. I did take it up to 160km/h in this stretch. It wants to go faster. The rest of the drive was on B roads, with a no-center-line road full of switchbacks going over a good size hill. The ARS is spectacular. While it doesn't have the tossable character of my E46 330, it happily took every corner I threw at it as well as the 330, while having a much more comfortable and compliant ride. The engine is subdued until you hit the gas. It is so quiet I kept finding myself in the wrong gear.
