Hello to all. I am waiting delivery of my '07 550iA which is in transit and should be at my dealer mid December. The color is Black Sapphire with gray leather and anthracite wood trim. I went a bit crazy and ordered every option but HD radio. I couldn't get this and still have the real time traffic option on my NAV system. I figure that with the Sirius satellite radio I wouldn't be listening to AM/FM much anyway. I plan to get the IPOD interface installed when it gets to the dealer.

I'm looking forward to participating on the forum.

to the forum!!!

I have a similar 2007 550 but with Dark Monaco Blue with gray leather and anthracite trim and anthracite headliner. I never saw anything close at my dealers but I thought the color combo would be good and I was right.

Did you get the nightvision too?

Yes. I did get the Night Vision. I wavered on gettting it but my wife has some vision problems and that's what finally helped me decide. We drive on some fairly un-lit roads and I thought this would help her. I also was undecided on the Active Steering after reading about it but my dealership let me take a 550iA with this option out for a day to drive under different conditions and I really loved it.

I will post pictures as soon as I get the car.

Weclome aboard, glad you could join us. Those colors should look great, and fully-loaded too. You are going to love that machine. It's a blast.
