I pick up my 2012 550i xDrive M Sport with Dinan Stage 2 tomorrow. Very excited.

Here is a picture the CA shot of it tonight.

But I will miss my 2009 550 badly.

Beautiful Scott! Enjoy... We expect better pix tomorrow!

And I know how you feel about the old 550. A saw a space gray LCI 550 the other day and I realized what a great car it was. I love my M3 but if the market value hadn't been so far below the residual on my lease I would have bought it.

Thanks! I love my E60 550 as much or more than when I picked it up 3 years ago. It still drives like new. It is as close to the perfect car as a car can be. I will especially miss its handling in the twisties. No way the 4520 pound F10 550i xDrive will hang with my E60 in the twisties. Although with Dinan Stage 2, the F10 550 will leave my E60 in the dust in acceleration

^^ Agreed on the E60 550! And I can't wait to hear your review of the Dinan Stage 2 and the car overall, especially since we never got a proper review out of Rudy before he dropped out of sight!!
