Still say dump it and get a 550, that way you're guaranteed no more HPFP issues

haha. the 550. that is what i wanted in the first place. i saved mega bucks in terms of monthly payment by jumping in this demo'd 535. I ended up getting the almost 61K car for 47K new (new with the exception of the demo'd use).
I dont think there is anyone here that would take a new 550 over a new 535 (save for HPFP problems) if you could save 20K.
there wasnt a 550 on the lot i could have gotten into for that price.

Craig, I don't know if you're really going to stick with BMW after all "this", but if you get a 550, I think you'll be really happy with it.

CONGRATULATIONS Bro ! Much deserved, I'm sure!
I know you're juggling a bunch of different things these days - work, school,
biatches hahaha but a fatter paycheck should no doubt help out! Maybe we'll see you ballin' in a 650? 
As a single guy, you really should get all those "coupe dreams" out of your system, while you're young

haha, it isnt a big raise! not 6 series big, but it throws a few hundred extra in my wallet a month. It isnt an earth shattering "im gonna buy me a porsche raise." I just moved into my baller apartment in westshore (I can now walk to all the premier bars/resturants/shopping in tampa), so it doesnt really make a difference, it is money i had already commited to spending and then some 
Regretably I was not able to enroll in classes this semester because of an admin error casued by the horrible counselor at my school and now she wont answer my emails or return my calls.
Which leaves me more time for the wimmenz.
I will enroll in summer classes.
ANOTHER GOOD NOTE: JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM MY PROPERTY MANAGER, THEY GOT MY HOUSE RENTED with only a 15 day gap in income!
the fuel pump issue doesnt seem so bad now, I'll take the good with the bad!

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Best of luck, man. I'd probably trade it in at this time.

Congratulations Craig!!!
If you do get a 550i, do yourself a favor and get a stick shift. No tranny problems and LOADS more fun!
