My Ride: 2008 Space Gray 550i
Default

Greetings folks! I just wanted to drop a few lines and say hello to the members of the forum. The name is Tony and I recently traded in my TS 535i for a Space Gray 08 550i with 32k and CPO. I have to say that when the E60 first came out I was not a fan, but it has grown on me over the years and now I think that this design is timeless.

I loved the 535i, but it had so many problems and while casually searching for a 550i, I came upon a great deal and decided to go for it. I LOVE the look of this car! Appearance-wise, the MSport transforms this car significantly. While looking at the dealer's website, I thought that I would not like the Space Gray color and was hoping to get a Platinum Gray instead, but still went to see it and boy was I wrong! I saw it and Platinum what? I love this color! (The Wife approves too!).

Anyway, like I said before, its a 2008 SG with Black Interior, MSport, Auto, Cold Weather, HUD, Comfort Access, Ipod Adapter. I have only put about 100 miles on it, so I am still getting familiar with it, but I love it! i like keeping my cars clean, so claying and a good detail are in order for this upcoming weekend!
