I discovered this forum in my search for a 06 550. It is very informative and I hope to be a proud new owner in the very near future. But the decision is becoming harder as I learn more about the available options and the ones I can and can't live without.
thanks for the support

prem. cold weather, nav,HUD,logic 7,comfort access,active steering, 20 way seat and maybe the sun shades. Just the basics. (doesn't hurt to have a wish list)
You have a sweet ride, I looked at an 08 535 but it was out of my price range. The twin turbo is one nice power plant. I see why there is so much discussion comparing the two. They are both great machines.
