I picked up my 550i in Chicago on Friday and drove it home to Dallas, TX. I will eventually post a signature with all the features and etc. but just wanted to get pics posted. I plan to add mods in the future but will add them eventually and not sure where or what I want to start with. Thanks and have enjoyed being a part of the forum and love seeing all the pics.

Working on it. First couple hours were interesting to say the least, but starting to get comfortable with the shifting. I bought the car for all the features and knew the SMG would have a learning curve, but not worried about it long-term.

I wanted to get the premium pkg, cold weather pkg, with navigation and thought this was the best deal. I drove multiple models and looked into getting a 535i first but the stealership wasn't willing to deal enough and I love the added power of the 550i. I would have enjoyed the 530i but fell in love with this car and had to buy it!

Congrats! Are those aftermarket screens on the headrests?

The screens were either factory installed or dealer installed because the orignal owner bought the car with 113 miles on it and it had the screens. Both screens are independent of each other so we can play two dvds at the same time and came with wireless headphones, etc. It was a major factor in why I ended up buying this car verses the others I was debating over.

Westmont BMW? Man, that's where we got my 535 this past summer. Who was your representative?

Maybe it's a bad pic angle, but it looks like the screens point up towards the ceiling....atleast the truckers will have something to watch

Nice choice though on the car
