Just picked up my CPO 2007 550i this afternoon! Returned my 2007 530i after a 3 year lease and decided to purchase instead of leasing and went with a Carbon black 550i with M-Tech pack with M172 wheels. It's the exact car I had before...same color...same M-pack....same wheels...a few more options! It felt like I parked my car and while I was having lunch someone swapped my engine with a V8 and I got back into the exact same car...but this time...on steroids!
The 360HP V8 is INCREDIBLE!!!!! What a difference from my 530 and its I6. Don't get me wrong...the BMW I6 is amazing...but the V8....is insane. The sound and power make a huge difference. I'm in love!! lol
I'll be posting some pics soon and I'm about to start the mods! I'm thinking....white angel eyes, LED license plate lights, LCI tail lights with Bruce cable and RPI 550i exhaust, RPI Ram air induction and filter.
Feels good to be back...I hadn't been around this forum for a while....I was too busy driving my 530i....now, I'm back in e60 mode for a while....mods...etc..

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
Congrats, and welcome to the big boys club!
