Now that I live in Copenhagen I do not use the car that much to get to work, mainly only around the city or a cruise at the weekend. It was really time to get an economical and practical city car... so after spending best part of 10 seconds here in the forums I was quickly able to conclude that the 550i M-Sport was the perfect car for me ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
I'm trading in my 2005 E61 530d for a 10/2005 550i M-Sport.
Its got loads of kit, including new stuff for me such as HUD and the Active Seats with Cooling and Massage function.
I will pick it up in Germany next week and can't wait
...and the first thing I'll do is head to the Autobahn ![Devil](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/devil.gif)
No pics of it yet, but once I have fitted my 128s and M5 Mirrors from my current car, it will look something like this...
