Hi, I'm Mike. I just acquired an '06 550i with 60,000 miles over the weekend. What an absolutely sweet car this is. I cannot believe that I'm so lucky to own such a car. Gush. Gush. It's black with sport package, comfort access, premium sound, premium package, nav, cold weather package, heated rear seats and all the BMW goodness that comes with it! I'm so jazzed.
I spent a lot of time surfing this forum (and bimmerfest) before deciding to pull the trigger on the 5. I'd been considering an '00 SL500 and an '03 E500. Then I drove the 550 and just fell in love. My best friend had suggested I look at the 5 series, a 530 in particular. I did drive one and liked it, but it didn't seem that special (no offense to the owners of 530is). It was rather lightly equipped. I was looking for more luxury. When the 550 I bought showed up at a local dealer my wife and I went and test drove it. After an extended drive, my wife said to buy it. Boy, is SHE a keeper. I'd been looking for another car for quite a while and we both just fell head over heals for the BMW. It's got a couple minor issues which my indy mechanic indicates are not going to be terribly expensive (by BMW standards) to fix and otherwise it has checked out clean. I can't wait to take a road trip. Did I say I love this car? :) -Mike |
