My Ride: 2006 550i
It's Black on Carbon Black, Aluminum, HUD, CWP, NAV, M-Sport Pkg
Pics posted tonight in my new album. Thanks for all the positive comments. I've had a few days of driving (I have a 45 minute highway commute) and I'm absolutely thrilled with my 550. What a magnificent auto - solid as a rock; goes like a missile; quiet as a church; you can think her around the corners! Do I sound pumped? You bet. First morning I hit my on-ramp and punch it like I did in my Grand Prix and I thought everybody else was stopping! Noticed the HUD and it says 225 - that's about 140 mph! 
And there was plenty pf pedal left. And we're going up a fairly steep, long hill. I drove a Winston cup car once at Atlanta and this is really close. Had a huge grin on for most of the week...
