Picked up my M550i today!

Hey All!

After the long wait, I finally picked up my brand new M550i today!

Here are the specs:

Alpine White
20" 668Ms
Black Nappa Leather
Fineline Cove Matte Wood Trim
Driving Assistance Plus
Dynamic Handling
Luxury Seating
Premium Package
Parking Assistance
Executive Package
Heated Steering Wheel
Leather Dashboard
Ceramic Controls
Bowers & Wilkins

Added Options:

Black Kidney Grilles
Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps
Body Colored Rocker Panels (Waiting for the Black M Performance Decals)
Black Side Vent Covers

I've purchased a Dinan Stage 1 that will be installed at 1200 Miles.

Purchased from BMW of San Francisco where I had an excellent experience.

Drove it about 100 miles today. It's a dream and boy is it fast!

Here are a couple preliminary pics, it was too dark and rainy to get any more tonight. I'll post more soon!

Nice car! I have the same wheels and get a lot of compliments on them.

Keep it under 4500 RPM until 1200 miles...if you can!

Thanks! I thought it would be hard to keep under 4500 rpm but the thing just screams! I'm at 90mph entering the freeway way before I get to 4500! 😱

Nice! How are you liking the luxury seating so far? I've heard mixed reviews about quality of perforated leather and firmness due to the massage mechanisms.

I really like the seats. I'm a big guy (275lbs) and I think they're really comfortable.

I don't feel the hardness from the massage function unless it's on and the adjustability of the seats is awesome!

Congrats on your Alpine White.

Some CF interior bits and pieces would complete the car.
Check out my mod thread to give you some ideas.

Thanks! Don't want to replace the wood trim. I'd love to be able to replace the little bit of aluminum trim with carbon fiber though!
