Ok my friends I am very impress I finally test drove a 07 550i with pretty much all options also with SMG transmission, the car is fantastic, very quiet and smooth even with the sport suspension around town then car never feels harsh or too stiff, power is very impressive? anyway I am sold but I will have to wait another month because I prefer the automatic transmission and I want a black on Black colors...

Isiriel21, it is worth waiting for. I waited until I found one with Navigation and Head Up display. I am glad I waited...I think it was about 6 weeks!

Your are correct in your initial assessment of the 550. It is real nice, realsmooth, and really powerful. I have had mine for 6 months now, and it still brings a smile to my face when I push the start button.

Just wait for it!! In a years time, you won't remember the 1 month wait you had to endure to get your "Dream Car", all you will remember is how much fun the car is to drive everyday and what can I go out driving for next???

+1 Take it from me. I was suddenly thrust into "I need a car mode" and kinda rushed things. I didn't get the exact options or color I wanted, but settled for "close." When I see that car color/options on the foums now, I cringe just a little. Take your time, you won't regret it. 2 cents.

How do you know an auto black on black 07 550i will pop up in a month-couldn't it be more like 2 mos or tomorrow or next week or whatever being that you are dealing with a used car?
