My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
So I was cruising out of the BMW dealership this morning around 9-9:30ish in my 550i when I saw another BMW coming up the highway behind me. I slowed to let it pass - I usually do to check it out and see what kind / what mods, etc it has. It passed and I saw it was another 550i! This is the FIRST 550i, besides mine, that I've seen on the road since I bought mine a month ago.
I followed but got stuck at a red light, wanted to get his attention and see if he'd pull over for a coffee to chat about our cars - his wheels looked like 20's aftermarket and I'm debating getting some myself.
Anyway, he made the light and I lost him.
Was it you? If so, PM me and lets get together and swap mod and upgrade stories. Would love to meet another local 550i owner.
