Got a 550i

kyleshim · 11-28-2008, 01:02 PM

havent posted here in the longest time after my 335i got totaled by hitting a guard rail around July (posted pics about couple months ago ;335i meets guard rail).

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=guard+rail

Well I got a 550i today! Man I'll miss the E90...It took me a tough time of deciding between the new e90 335i or a used 550i. I've already had the 335i experience and I loved it...but I just had to let it go and step up to a 550i for comfort and I can save some money buying a used 550 rather than a new 335i. It's a used silver 550 '06 with about 13,000 miles so it feels kinda new. I'm pretty happy about it. But I'll never get that push feel like I did on the 335i with Riss racing DPs and JB2R and such lol. The 550 came with a couple of cosmetic mods such as M6 Authentic Rims, Blue angel eyes, Quad tips, M5 rear/front bumper. I'll post pix later!

Nice! 550's are awesome! I want one.

Zephyr15 · 11-28-2008, 01:40 PM

Sounds great - look forward to the pics! I've had thoughts about making a similar transition when my lease is up.

TwinTurboXI · 11-28-2008, 02:35 PM

post pics now man, 550's are sick. Is it auto or 6 speed?

Deda · 11-28-2008, 03:30 PM

congrats,550i is so cool!

AtoB · 11-28-2008, 03:52 PM

the 550 is my favorite sedan.... it's a monster.

positiveions · 11-28-2008, 04:09 PM

Man, I just those photos. Bloody Deer. Glad you guys are ok. I like 550s. They are awesome. I am thinking of picking one up instead of the 335. or even an M3

Bobby_Light · 11-28-2008, 06:10 PM

550s are super sleek. Congrats. How is your mpg?

+1 Well, my third favorite -- behind the M3 E90 and M5 E60, but I love the 550.

Gorgeous cars.

bknight · 11-28-2008, 09:24 PM

One heck of a car, incredible power in a stealthy package. Congrats!
