I came across this 550i Touring while I was parking my bimmy before entering the Frankfurt Messe.
It was a nice surprise to see a 550i and Touring also...
(Sorry for the picture...not enough light in the underground floor of the parking).
(..and sorry also for not having been with the E60 members group on Friday visit...work kept me glued on the chair at my workdesk).

The car is registrated Dingolfing Landau and
not Deggendorf (DEG). Actually the E60/E61 plant is in Dingolfing.

Hey Guys,

New to this forum, but I find it informative.
Currently I drive a 4.4 X5, but would like to consider the wagon next time around -better gas mileage, better handling, still practical and I could have a manual shift. Does anyone know if I will be able to get the 550 wagon in the States? Would it matter if I opted for the European Delivery option - could I then ship a 550 wagon home.

Perhaps those questions have been answered already, or are just whacked.

Thanks

The only flavor for the wagon in the US currently available is the 530xiT. I am almost certain that you could not do a European Delivery of the 550 wagon and then bring it in to the US without a lot of additional cost -- would have to buy it through a European dealer at European prices and then may have to have it modified for US requirements. You may want to look into buying one in Canada.
