My Ride: 2004 545i 6 spd Sports Package | NAV | PDC | Logic 7 | BT retrofit | SW V13.3
Taken with bad light and a cell phone during PDI. I will pickup tomorrow. Should I post after tomorrow or will I be flamed for getting the 550. Seams very fashionable these days to carp on those of us whom for whatever reason have choosen a 550 over a 535.

My Ride: 2008 535xi / Platinum Grey / Black leather / Step Auto / Sport / Premium / Cold weather / 18" wheels / Logic 7 / Comfort / ipod / Navigation / Fold Down Rear Seats / Rear Airbags / Sirius SAT / Spoiler / Extended Clear bra / Bluetooth. (Previously owned a 2002 sport 525I Loaded).
On order: 535xi Platnium Grey with Black interior, Step Auto, Sports package, Premium package, Cold weather package, 18" wheels, Logic 7, Comfort access, ipod adapt, Navigation, Sat radio, Rear spoiler, Extended Clear coat bra.
I own a 535XI and I still like the 550I. I almost bought one pre-certified 2006 before the 535xi. The sales man would not go to $50,000 from $52,000 so I said thanks , left my phone and told him call me when he is serious about selling the car or I will buy a 535XI when they come out. 3 weeks later here I am... 
535 535 haha. I'm happy I held out because there were some things that needed to be fixed on the 550. At least I got mine new with 21 miles 
YEA!!!
By the way I just wanted to say CONGRATS!!!!

I find it easier to drive in traffic with a good manual. The car doenst rush ahead causing me to have to move my feet back and forth from the gas to brake... with manual... driven properly the engine braking will slow the car enough to cruise at idle...
