Here's my new 550i... 
3 weeks old and 5,100 miles down, I couln't be happier! There's something about being able to downshift from 6th to 4th at 100mph to pass on the highway that is hard to replicate. I just recently took off the snow tires (pictured) and put the 19"s back on. Quite frankly I was tired of getting passed by Audi wagons on the autobahn because I was stuck at 130mph (210kph). I think there might be some Nuerburgring time coming up so I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes...

Looks great. Remember to note the dealer that you didn't get High Gloss Shadowline -window lists (like most of LCI M-sport owners didn't). I'm waiting mine at the moment.

I've never seen the front splitter done like that from the factory, was that a special request ?
