Guys, I just got back from Iraq and just got a up close and personal view of my new 550i. I am adding the M Aero Kit as we speak and will probally be upgrading to some 19 inch Assanti AF 132 wheels once I return to the U.S. Here are some pics of my new ride. Let me know what you think. I will post some more pics once the Aero Kit has been installed.

Thanks, I am a soldier in the U.S. Army. It was my time to serve and answer the call so I had to do my year.

Congratulations (and appreciation) for both the new 550 and also for finishing up what must have been a very difficult tour of duty.

Welcome to the Forum BIG _AL.

Very nice choise of car, I suppose your overseas assigment partly financed the car.

You seem to be sure about the 19" Assanti AF 132 wheels.
Not familiar with whem, hope they are quality wheels?

What tyres are you going for?

Great car and planned mods - well deserved.

Enjoy it to the fullest.
