My Ride: 2007 550i | premium package | sport package
Salutations Everybody!
New member from Socal! I bought my 550i about a week ago and I am loving it. The only extra that came with it was the sports package, but that with the already included premium package makes for a pretty great car. Originally I wanted the premium sound package as well but I the guys at my dealer worked out a great deal with me. The car itself is black sapphire with the black interior and the popular grain wood trim. I have heard that this is a pretty hard combo to come by.
Unfortunately I have not no time to get some pictures of the car but I'll have some asap.

Welcome and congrats on the car!
IMHO, the only option that is a truly "must have" is the Sport Package. Although I need the Navigation (due to being directionally challenged) and like the Logic 7, you will never miss any of the other options. I much prefer your setup vs. a loaded 530i.
