Hi Guys! I've been a long-time Roadfly BMW and Acurazine board member and was directed to this forum by a fellow board member. Anyways, a few days ago, I traded in my 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD for a brand new 2011 BMW 550i! (Prior to that, I've owned 4 other BMW's--mostly 5 series--in the last 10 years). Here's some stats and photos of my car. Enjoy!
-Dark Graphite Metallic/Oyster-Black leather
-4.4L Twin-Turbo V8
-8 sp. Sport Automatic
-Sports Package: 19" rims/tires/Sports Steering wheel, Multi-contour seats
-Cold Weather Package: Heated F/R seats, heated steering wheel, headllamp washers
-Dynamic Handling Package (adjustable dampers)
-Premium Package 2: Rear-view camera, rear sunshades, Ipod adpater, Sat. radio, Premium surround sound
-Side/Top-view cameras
-Park Distance Control
-Navigation
-Heads-up Display
