My Ride: 2006 530si Sport, on a boat as I type!! Orient Blue, Beige leather, premium package, premium sound, cold weather, steptronic, power shades, fold down rear seats, rear seat heat, park distance control, navigation & Sirius satellite radio.
Sorry to be thinking out loud, but I leave in 90 minutes to pick up my shiny new Orient Blue 530i - loaded up with just about everything except active cruise, active steering and HUD.
Oh yeah...adding to my excitement is the fact that I will be leaving my Hyundai at the dealership. Don't get me wrong, it's been a great car for me - but I am guessing the 5er will be just a wee bit more fun to drive
Pics to follow...just in case people don't remember what they look like.
88 Minutes and counting.

I wish I was in your shoes. But, nonetheless, I continue to experience a lesser thrill every time I drive, clean, or just look at mine. Be careful until you get the feel of your great new vehicle.

[/quote]I can see where my sentence could be misconstrued. By lesser, I mean it is likely lesser than the anticipation of picking it up on the first day, but there is definitley a love affair going on that will last long after the 550 goes on sale.
Not that the thrill lessens on each occasion.
