Congrats and best of luck ks...
I know what you mean about the bittersweetness of turning in the 550. As you know, both of my E60s were flawless and were probably the two best overall cars I've ever owned or driven!
Can't wait to see the pics and hear how you like your new toy...

Sorry about the crappy iPhone pics but just got home and it's too dark for better pictures. Car is awesome!! 
Have to say the new iDrive is excellent, can even stream music from my iPhone over bluetooth though I need to figure that out. The 3-D perspective view is awesome but apparently New Orleans is not a major city in the map makers eyes so we don't have the cool 3-D buildings etc. More pics tomorrow with a proper camera...

Thanks Gene!! You and Mel are not far behind. Had to rush from the dealer to my kids soccer game (they did win!!) so only managed 14 miles this evening... 
The odometer only had 6 miles on it at delivery but plenty more tomorrow!
