My Ride: 2011 550i; Alpine White/Black Dakota/MSport/SAT/IAS/Driver Assistance/ConveniencePkg/Prem Pkg 2/4 Zone AC/Side-Top Cameras/HUD & Black panel/BMW Apps-iPhone 4 Media/M Decklid spolier /Ventureshiled clear bra/ V1 -Ordered 4/9/11, Production 4/19, Shipped on Martorell 4/23,Arrived Port Hueneme 5/19,Delivered 5/21/11
Got the call this AM, 32 days since leaving the factory my 550i arrived in San Diego this AM.
All I can say so far is WOW. I loved my E60 550i, but this F10 550i is SO much more refined. And it looks awesome in person. The lines, proportions, body work is incredible
First impressions: Dialed her straight to Sport, 60 or so miles driven combination of Freeways and 2 lane roads. Smooth, Powerful, Quiet, luxurious, sporty...handles like its on rails . Technology is a huge leap forward from the new iDrive, iPhone 4 media interface,BMW APPS..on and on. Defintiely larger, could tell as I pulled her into my garage for the first time.
No pull, she drives staright as an arrow with dead on steering wheel, No GY's has Michelin Primacy's, no grinding in low speed turns detected.
More feedback review material later, but I know you're all waiting for some PICS

Congrats! Looks sweet!
Good to have another new F10 owner join the ranks.
Is the blue E60 your trade-in?

That's a beauti! Congragulations.
Only one thing, the wheels on the F10 has to go, they don't look as aggressive as the M172 or M166!
