Congratulations! Special looking car, I really like the interior contrast.
I am sure you won't tire of the torque
1500 to 5,500 RPM at full bore...Beautiful !

Not as much of a monster as yours, or even mine though. Check out the vid in my signature from Top Gear comparing a 535d vs a 545i.

Yes I've seen that vid and am aware that 545 and 550 are faster than 535d. But the feeling of so much low end torque pulling away from a light or coming out of a low speed corner has to be incredible.

I've never understood that phrase - lucked out. The Americans use it a lot. For me my default thought turns to it being negative. "Lucked out" sounds like you were out of luck, or bad luck. "Lucked in" sounds much more sensible. Whateva !! I hear you all saying. Quit trying to OT the thread. I know. I'm bad.
