My Ride: 2008 550I,manufactured 2-27-08,delivered 4-2-08.Platinum bronze,natural brown interior,light poplar trim,cold weather package,heated rear seats,HD radio
Picked up my new ride on 4-2 and so far I am well pleased.The feel is not much different than my 545.I do like the new step.It shifts much quicker and firmer than my old step.I noticed many small but improved updates in the interior.Still in the break in mode so I can't comment on the performance.I do a reatively fast break in.No full throttle starts but vary the rpm's between 2 & 4 k .Will probably try full throttle at about 500 miles.I also change oil before the first 1000 miles.Probably not necessary but some old school habits die hard.
