Well it was 3.5 years ago that I sold my 545...it was my 2nd 545 (first one had bad paint) and my third E60 (I started with a 525)....picking up my CPO '07 550 this Sunday. So since then I've seen: an E350, a Ranger Sport and and Audi S4 come and go. I'm counting the mins until I pick it up and I would like to apologize for ever leaving 
I've never driven a 550 and have been stuck behind the wheel of an 08 Cadillac ESV for the last several months (its a long story not worth getting in to)....and I drove a 530 the other day...and it felt fast to me...so Im sure the 550 is going to blow me away
I have to travel to a dealer to pick it up...so Im just going to have my first driving experience be when I drive it off the lot and point it towards home - i figure it'll be fun that way
At any rate - traveling for business for the next week so I wont be on the forum until I get back - and I'll post my impressions then
ps-sorry to those of you that pm'd me questions relative to my 5-min DIY fog light install - I haven't been to the forum in years except for the occasional drive-by and I rarely logged in

Welcome back! I think I also PM-ed you about your M Tech kit way back in 2005. LOL! I grew up in Huntington and graduated from HBHS in '87. Miss it there.
