My Ride: 550
Lol sorry for the wait guys..
2011 550i Black Sapphire Metallic; Black Dakota Leather; Convenience Package; Driver Assistance Package; Premium Package 2; Sports Package; HUD; and Smart Phone Integration
I bought the car Saturday with 8 miles on the odometer..and now I have 555 miles 5 days later lol. The car runs GREAT; very smooth and responsive at the same time. What I really enjoy is going thru gears 1st-5th, taking each gear to 3k RPM..SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL and when combined with the lightning quick shifts, its just that much better.
On the negative side, Im quite disappointed that when I come to a complete stop, it automatically downshifts me to 1st and only a few times Ive managed to keep it in 2nd
. Also am curious as if anyone else with the F10 550 is having rough downshifts to 1st at halt?
OHH and I've found the perfect city and highway speed for saving gas
City- 37mph; 7th gear; 1100-1150 RPM; and a digital reading of 30 mpg LOL?
Highway- 60mph; 8th gear; forgot RPM will add later; and not sure about the mpg
pics..

Congrats! She's a Beauty! 
Which dealer did you get it from? (Perillo?)
BTW, I'm not having any rough downshifts to 1st like you're having....do you have a manual? Everything's butter-smooth.

Congrats e60hodzic530 very fine looking car and nice pics 
Seems that the fall is pretty far gone over there also.
I like the 19" 332 wheels more than the 331's.
