timeline as follows.....
0935 called Frank Oliveras at cravier bmw. ( Thank you so much TV550 for the recommendation. Franks
the man!!!)
1045 found vehicle I wanted.... alpine white 550i, black leather with poplar wood grain, steptronic, logic7,
sports package, comfort access, cold weather package, electronic rear
shade, sirus radio, nav system, and comfort seats. ( @ a good deal.)
1115 trying soooo hard to talk myself out of it.
1200 wife convincing me I deserve it
1230 call frank tell him were on our way to Santa Ana from Las Vegas.
1710 arrived at dealer signed papers. drooled over car and grinning ear to ear.
1800 got keys
, took delivery and still...ear to ear.
0030 got home back in las vegas.....smiling all the way.
Thanks again to tv550 for the tip and to Frank who got me my dream car 100+ dollars cheaper a month with around 6000 dollars in options more than my locar dealer.
Only downside to the whole thing is I have a huge 6-7 inch crack in the windshield by a rock on the
I-15 :'(. Now my insurance company is working on getting it replaced.
The car is awsome. so much power and so much fun to drive. Thanks to E60 forums and the knowlege from all of you. Ive been reading this forum for months but never chimed in. thanks everyone

Previous Ride - 2002 540 6-speed, sport, turning in with 114,000 wonderful miles
Grats on the new ride. Sounds nice!I wonder if you're on to something tho, I've had my 550 for 4 months and my window cracked 2 weeks after I took delivery. Not a problem, my dealer and insurance replaced the glass. Well........now in my 4th month my new window has a 9" crack. Another stone, based upon the telltale chip.
Has anyone else had unusually high window breakage problems?
Anyway, sorry to steal your thunder, good story and nice outcome, you'll really enjoy the 550 once it's broken in.

Congratulations! Sounds like you got a great car. Also sounds like Crevier is a great dealership. I bought my 166 wheels from them at a very good price.
