Hi guys, just placed an order for my 550i, Carbon Black+Cream Beige interior.
I'm a bit confused now about the headliner color... I guess I didn't pay attention
when I was having fun driving this amazing car
I didn't drive a Cream beige one,
I only saw it on the lot and I assumed it was beige...
Is it beige? or do I have to add Anthracite headliner option to avoid some ugly grey?
I'm coming form my Audi S4 and have to say 550i drives really well.
Feels a bit heavier and wider, but sits better on the road. Made a sales guy panic
a bit when I pushed it a touch harder

drive those no-quattro bimmers to Mammoth
Are they also the rock magnets like my Audi? Got 3 hits in one season...
I hope there is some new snow soon, because hi temps are ruining the conditions
pretty fast... I was there a week ago and cancelled this weekend. It was very windy,
they shot down the mountain on Sat, but also was very icy...
Will try next weekend, still in my S4 Avant though...
