How did you end up in a 550i versus the 535 though? Did the dealer offer a pricing incentive because of the Courage mishap?
One final thing. You may want to fix your signature. You have ,,lane deveation warning`` listed.

Break-in isn?t that bad. I think my break-in period was over in the first 5 or so days. I was able to bring the car up to 250 km/h by day 6.
