Greetings. This is my first post on the forum. I purchased a 2008 550i this week. Black on Beige with 14000 miles. Other than a a minor scuff on the rear bumper and some curb rash on 2 wheels, it is pristine. I knew within the first minute of the test drive that I really liked the car. I pick it up this weekend and hope to be an active member of the forum. My other ride is a 2006 X5 4.8is which I really like a lot and plan to keep. It has the dinan mods, cai, throttle body and software. It really is an awesome truck. I plan to do the same dinan mods on the 550. I'll post pics next week. By the way, does anyone know a good place in NJ to have the curbed wheels fixed?

Thanks so much.

Bruce

Congrats! I still remember the first day after I got my 550i. Put it in Sport mode, moved the shifter to manual, punched the gas and had a smile from ear to ear
