As I mentioned in a previous post, I turned in my 550 13 months early for an '08 M5. I'm still adjusting to the SMG, but I have never had so much fun driving. There are probably some minor mods to come in the form of tint, sprint Booster and springs, but there isn't too much I want to change about the car. Thanks for the looks. Also, I will shortly be posting in the classifieds for my 550's springs, Sprint Booster and RPI scoop for anyone interested.

My Ride: 2005 530i upgraded to 2007 550i 12/20/06
Took delivery of 2008 M5 3/25/08 cf delete K&N filters, the rest stock.
550's are sweet but the M is a different car altogether! Very nice up grade. SMG is so fun to drive.
Enjoy the ride and be safe
