I've always wanted a BMW and now I finally have one. I bought a Jet Black 2008 BMW 550i about a month ago and I love it. I've been visiting the forums for a while and unfortunately I'm already guilty of some naive newbie topics. But I truly enjoy my new car and I must say that this forum is extremely helpful!

Now the weather just needs to clear up so I can wash and wax her and take some pictures...

Feel free to wax my cars too.
