My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
Will anyone here be trading in or selling their current E60 just to get that future 550i? 
Tempting isn't it?
By the way has anyone noticed that Diplomatic pricing in the USA has dropped to below ED invoice as of 3/2005? Before Diplomatic pricing was alot MORE than ED invoice!
It's in our 05/06 pricing sheets!

Not me ... my next move (if any)? will probably be a new post re-fresh 550 in 2007 or 2008 or possibly a used E60 M5 if one can be found by then.? I'm quite happy with the 545?

My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
Ditto - although I would love to have the 550, I don't think the bath I would have to take to trade up at this point is worth it.

My Ride: 2007 Titanium Gray 550i, with sport, nav, HUD, Logic7, sat radio, cold weather, rear side airbags, rear seat heaters, and it goes like a bat outta hell!
Well....when my lease is up in '07, I will definitely look to upgrade, but not before.........besides, I would like to read how the vehicle performs before I buy it!!
Besides........according to BMW, there is no such thing as a 550

Agree with Lomag. It's like upgrading Pentium 4 2.4Ghz to Pentium 4 2.8Ghz.

Nope... although I "want to" but no way is it worth the cost. Basically no difference that I will be able to tell. I dont drive like schumacher all day long. Very happy with the 545.
