Hi nine28,

Congratulations on the car!

I'm also in the Sacramento area, just bought a 550i (silver), and am a long-time Porsche guy (I've owned a 951, 911 Carrera Targa, Turbo Carrera, and have a 993 right now). Seems like Porsche owners go to BMW when they need room for baby seats....

I'll keep an eye out for your cars!

PS- careful parking your 928 in front of the Capital...the legislature will come out and repo it to pay off some CA debt.

Hi all - first time poster here. I just traded in my much loved 200 540i Sport on a 2007 CPO 550i Sport. I hated to see the 540 go, but it was getting up in age. The 550 is amazing - it took some searching as there are not too many around in the Sacramento area, but I got a sweet deal on a 2007 CPO model. Black with black interior, A/T, pretty much every option you can get. Not going to get too much in to the mods for a while - I have 2 Porsche 928s that I am busy modding away at the moment. Anyways - I look forward to hanging out here!

Good choice! Got rid of my '99 540i/6 because of the age and maint. costs I was incurring.

Welcome!!
