Converted from Mercedes to BMW.
Wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My last 2 cars have been Mercedes (2004 E55 and 2004 SL55 K4), but I wanted to try something new this time so I found a well optioned, nicely warrantied 2011 BMW 550i and am expecting delivery next week. I'm really looking forward to getting behind the wheel. I've found the MB forums to be very helpful and I'm sure the same can be said for this forum. A few questions:
Is an extended warranty worth it? Background: I drive 10-12k miles annually and the car currently has ~44k miles on it, so the manufacturers warranty will expire shortly. The car has the BMW extended maintenance plan through 100k miles.
What are common modifications? I've read a lot about Dinan, but they're quite expensive for a tune (much like Renntech or Brabus).
Thanks guys. Looking forward to getting more involved once the car gets here.
