Purchased 2010 550i MSport
Hello All,
Trading in my 2007 530i on Saturday and purchased a 2010 550i M Sport. An incredible car. I had no idea that model performed so well, especially compared to the 530i. I spent a considerable amount of money modifying the 530 and I got a pretty good trade in value for it, so all wasn't lost. The 550 won't require as much since it's a M Sport. I'll purchase angel eyes, led license plate lights, grills, RPi Ram Air Scoops and maybe the OEM M5 trunk lip spoiler, but that's about it. The dealer has to complete some minor paint cleanup and when that's done, I'll post some pictures.

I didn't know that. I thought you were still rolling with the 1st one. Cool! Congrat! As mentioned, it's a huge difference between the two. Now, I'm satisfied for a while. 530 is a nice car, just a little under powered.

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Please do bro, I would like to check out the "new" car and - as they say: "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours" 
Yeah, I traded my 530 for a 2008 550 with just 20k miles on it 2 weeks ago. I LOVE the car, it's a beast!!!! And it is sooooooo comfy!!!!

Another 550 member! 
I want to upgrade my 2008 550 to a newer 2010 for the upgraded iDrive and other options that I should've got, but these V8s are still a beast!

20,000 miles. That's a rare find. Congrats! I'll for sure let you know when I'm in LA.
