Hello everybody... Chris here from Scottsdale, AZ.
Long story short - my wife hated the family wagon we had (Tahoe) and decided that she wanted something more fun and sporty. I couldn't help but agree so we decided on the 550i... found the best one we thought... and bought it.
Sport Package
Cold Weather Package
Logic7
etc.
We've only owned the car for less than 5 days and I've already bought black matte grilles (thanks to another member here), black/silver CF roundels, and some black matte Forgestar F14 shoes that should be here on Friday (which means I'll have chrome stock ones for sale by this weekend if anybody's interested). I have a feeling that this thing is going to turn into a definite money pit for me as I'm already getting ready to pull the trigger on the quad exhaust/m5 bumper package and a Dinan intake.
Only pics I have so far are the ones from the classified from which I bought it. After spending 7 or so hours browsing the forums and reading I finally decided to make my welcome post.
Wife's happy... I'm happy... win/win.
