I did a little car shopping today and picked this little gem up! For all of you who saw my thread about the M6 vs M5 vs 550i, this is my decision. And for those who helped point me in the right direction...thanks! However, most of you SOB's tried to tie me down to a $1500 M6 payment!!! 
It's dirty in these pics...sitting on dealer lot. Did anyone see a sign on the lot in the pics that said, "Rudy was here!"? I don't pick it up till Friday and can't wait to see it all cleaned up!
And I already closed the intital leasetrader, transfer process on my current 530xi. I was able to dump my old ride in 1 day!!!
I didn't even have to change my springs. I threw in my 19" CSL's, however, to sweeten the deal. It would have been nice to sell them to someone on here, but I doubt the car would have sold so quickly without them being a part of the deal.
Mods?
First one is to black out the grille. And rear wheel spacers are needed. My CSL's on my xi stick out more than the 172's on the 550i do. Since I am no longer going to be an xi owner, I have no clue about the offsets of these wheels, but I know I will find it all easily on here using the good old search function...a lost art!

I head spacers on the 550 might cause trouble because of the high torque.... any insight on this???

What do you think??
