At least you won't have to worry about HPFP's any more...
Hope every thing goes well best of luck.

But no question that on a bang for your buck basis, the 535 wins (when its HPFP isn't going out).

No offense taken. I understand that there are tunes and mods out there for the 535 that, for not much $$, will lift the engine's power to over 400 bhp which will certainly make the car faster than a 550 (even one with the available non-supercharger performance mods). But even a modded 535 won't have my 550's engine noise and exhaust note. But no question that on a bang for your buck basis, the 535 wins (when its HPFP isn't going out).
