Wow...the wait is finally over and you have a vehicle everyone here would lust to own (or lease). Congrats, Scott.
I am looking forward to your full driving review with contrasts and comparisons to the e60 550. Love the "m"
foot-plates. Cheers, Lee

Thanks. It is a dramatically different car than the E60 550. I need some more seat time to give a full review.

Thanks Lee. It is a really different beast than the E60 550. The cars have virtually nothing in common.

Thanks Calvin. I liked the Cinnamon and Light Wood combo even though it is not a recommended combo by BMW.

PS, my multi-quote is not working on my computer. Hence the multiple responses to multiple posts.
