I am anxious for your opinion on Nightvision. Mine has been flawless, but it is difficult to look out the windsheild and look at the I drive screen at the same time. But the clarity is amazing IMHO.
Right now, that's the one option I'm still on the fence about. I plan on using it Friday on the highway at night to get a better idea of how it works...

Nope. I'm not much of a modder. On the last car, I added the reflectors -- does that count?
Did you put reflectors on the new one? Or, does the LCI already come with them?

LCI cars come with them (they're a slightly different size, I think) but the 550i sport package comes with the M-sport aero kit so the rear bumper doesn't have any reflectors (or inserts where reflectors would go...)

Well... I pick up my 550 on saturday.... If this Rudy guy thinks he can tease the group, then I will be happy to post my impressions on a more regular basis. Rename the "rudy" thread the "darrin77" thread. I've hijacked you Rudy!!!

Did I mention that I'm totally jealous that Rudy already has his own car AND his own thread?!?!?!?!?

I agree but I'm having some trouble finding a new one that's good. I could always recycle some of the earlier ones or maybe dump the whole mug shot thing and come up with something else...
