After several anxious weeks of tireless anticipation, my wait is finally over. I got the call from my SA Friday afternoon that my car was ready to be picked up, so I promptly obliged. 250 miles later, all I can say is WOW! My expectations were truly exceeded. All of the press and even the many testimonials on this forum couldn't have prepared me for how much I would love this car. Every fascet of this car is awesome. I can't wait to drive it again.

I would like to thank all of you on this forum for your input and contributions. If it weren't for you, I would never have known about Nasca leather, ventilated seats, anthracite headliners, etc. etc... Furthermore, I relied on your experiences to make informed decisions regarding how I would like my car optioned. The bottom line... Thank you so much.

I will post some pictures in the next couple of days, as well as offer some objective feedback about the car as I accumulate some miles.

Thanks everybody.

It looks like you have almost all the possible options a 550i can have. By just reading your signature. Congrats on your new car. Enjoy it.
