My Ride: 07 550 silver Gray SP PKG, NAV, LOGIC 7, SAT, COLD WEATHER, STEP.
I just purchased an 07 550i I really must not have done my homework I didn't realize that there was a model change coming on the 5 series already? Tell me what are the proposed changes. Now I feel like a jerk that I didn't wait, but tell me if these are big or small changes, one other thing I thought I did pretty well on price here in NJ getting a little over 5K off sticker. Opinions please

I think the facelift will be ugly if the forum is going to be right.
so itis good that you got the old 1 and not new.
We will have to wait see when it comes out, if itis ture about all the facwlift post on this forum.

Thanks for the info guys. I mean I guess I was so impressed with the 550 that I never thought about changes that they may be thinking about. In retrospect you can't ever really keep up there will always be changes made to improve on a good thing. so far ( only 1 week ) I'm content I do want to make some changes when I can get the funds together (M kit) and maybe 19'' M5 wheels. Does anyone have experience with getting the M kit and what it cost to have it painted. Again thanks for the info I'm sure we will be in many coversations BTW I'm in NJ.
Thanks
Anthony
Thanks
Anthony

Well I guess all of those have hit me, and hit me hard. Althought I must say, that I enjoy reading a bit more than writing something back, as my almost 1000 post show. Pinguhk have been on the forum for little over 3 months or something and he's already past me, and I've been here much longer...
Pinguhk, dont you have a job? You're like on the forum 24/7!!
