I cannot begin to describe to you guys how amazing this car is and how happy I have been the past week. I picked it up last Thursday on the first day of summer. Could not get any better. This is the first car I ever bought. I used to drive a 1996 honda accord that my dad bought me for going away to college back in 2001. I still have it. Well, I waited 9 weeks for my 550i and it was worth every penny spent and every second waited. This car means and symbolizes a lot to me because of where I come from. Don't ever take for granted the beautiful and great machines you guys have. Well, enjoy the pics and I apologize that some are bad because they were taken with my treo. Trust me when I tell you that these pictures do not do the car justice.
BTW, thanks to Jspira for all info.
Notice in the last pic, I already have bystanders coming over to check out the car.

Yes, I love AW on BMW's. Always have. I thought about CB, but the choice came easy after I saw CB in person

I would be just as excited as you! That is beautiful! Hope you have a ton of fun with it......Modding is an expensive habit so be careful not to get separated from your cash too fast

I had a tough time picking my color , actually changed my order twice but eventually went with Alpine White and love it. I washed it yesterday after 10 days and it really didnt look dirty ( the other great thing about AW )

I don't think I will be doing any modding. I am so in love with the way it is now.
