to the forum Dave. Sounds like you need a Sprint Booster to get rid of that lag

I took it to my local dealer and had them check a few things. Everything came back fine, but to me it has that drive-by-wire throttle lag (I asked them if I should reset the transmission but they said no...I figure perhaps they did it, but I don't know). It has 43,000 miles and warranty expires in 11/2010. I was thinking about extending the factory warranty (even though it is CPO), but it already had brakes recently done and oil and new tires, and I figure I am good for doing both of those when the time comes so I will probably save the money.

Anyway, just wanted to show off my baby!

Thanks all,

Congrats on joining the BMW community and for starting at the upper end (550)

A $500 Dinan software tune will also get rid of the lag and optimize shift points especially in sport mode. Dumping the run flats for a nice set of Michelin Pilots will blow you away. You think the car is awesome now...

Congrats! I too just bought a 07 550 sport premium with nav in December - $35000 with 36,000 miles. Sapphire Black...I had an 07 Alpine White 530 before. It is truly amazing the difference in power (& gas mileage too)...the car handles a bit different too, assuming it would with more weight up front. Cant wait to start upgrading...M tech bumpers and wheels are a must!
