Thanks. I was on a business trip for a week and didn't get on the forum for days. That thread must have slipped below the first page or so.

I'll have to do some "testing" with DSC/DTC full off and see what happens. My M5 could melt the tires with a 1600 RPM launch.
I have gotten a nice squawk from the tires on a hard launch but haven't tried to toast them.

FYI, I have 8500 miles on my550i and it does seem to be getting stronger.

Welcome back Don.I am glad to here all is well with you.If you don't already know,I traded my 545 for a 550I.Pretty much the same equipment as the 545.I just can't seem to justify the sports package for my needs.I have about 2000 miles on it and have already done a few tests.So far a best of 4.83 for the 0-60.Still not as fast as my 545,but maybe with more miles it will get faster.I think I had over 20000 miles on the 545 before I got the best times.Nevertheless I love the LCI.I think they fine tuned some of the features from the 545 and best of all the new step is a big improvement over the one in my 545.

Update us on what you have been doing with yourself.We all wondered where you have been.
