BMW1986 - Thats a great looking car.

I think that rear end would look good without the 550i badge (smooth)

Although I would never buy a white car, I still think that white gives a car a really special and interesting look (probably because you don't see it around that much).

Enjoy your new ride (V8, hmmmmmm)

Note to self: Put glasses on, and brain into gear.

Apologies to the bmw1986 for the misplaced comment. Nice car.

Isn't the performance and economy of the LCI 530i significantly improved? Or isn't this a selling point?

ABC
You are correct. The 2008 LCI 535i is improved over the 530i. The 535i has the 300 HP Twin Turbo. However, since I got a 550i, the 2008 remains unchanged except the interior/exterior setup. Hence, its not worth $200-$300 more per month!

I sure will, since no one else did!!! It works very well. However, if you unplug it and then plug it back in, it tends to start playing the entire library. I will list what each "CD1-CD6" stands for when I do the write up. It's works just like a CD, track finishes..the next one starts playing.
