Nice car - congrats.! BTW, I picked up my Carbon Black 550i Sports with Sport tranny on 7/3. I can not wait until the car is broken in. 
And great choice too - looking forward to mine in less than 2 months! ?

Great car Rudy!
Leasing makes a lot of sense in your case as % resale may suffer given the limited number of used car buyers who will want to pay for all of your options.
We are all looking forward to any impressions regarding the shift quality/speed.

It's a little hard to see in the attached photos but you can see at least 5 dings in the hood crease that runs from the right-side mirror (or A-pillar area) down toward the headlight (between the headlight and grille)...

Then you just take your car in for a hour or so to get the hood changed.
Did you take a better pic of the woods and are they really in mixed shades? See pic.

Great car, congratulations.
Waiting to see you test on Sport automatic gear.
Why it does not have the Msport steering wheel?

Don't know, are you talking about it not having the little 'M' badge? Other than that, I think it's the wheel I expected (and the leather wrap looks much nicer than the awesome SMG wheel I've had for the last three years or so...)

The hood is made of aluminum, so the best thing would be to them to order a new hood and paint it.
