Very Nice. How you do you like the GT3? Did you get the 550i because the GT3 is too rough to be a daily car?
Got the 550i for my wife
I have a titan as my daily driver......But I did drive the 550i this morning to work. Its my job to figure out all the "stuff" I had to pull over to change the radio station

Congratualations. Love both of them. 
I had a chance to ride in a GT3 around Buttonwillow Raceway during my high performance driving school, and was giggling like a little school girl. It was awesome. 
Would love to have one.

Dream combo!!! An M-Aero kit would look pretty kick ass on that 550 
I asked about that when I ordered. I was told it would be around 5k. But the online "build it yourself" said $1695......I passed on it because 5k was way more than I wanted to pay. but for $1600......I'd have been all over it.

You can still get the kit and you should be able to negotiate the price down from $1600. I've seen it as low as $1250 from Crevier BMW in Santa Ana, CA. Installation should be another $1K-$1.5K.
Soo...it's not too late....

Man, you have the perfect car combination. This is exectly the way I want, still in working on it though.
Great sports car: Porsche GT3 (dream car)
Great 4 door sedan: 550i (don't have the wife yet)
Great truck/suv: Still working on the top 2.
