As for the exhaust,just waiting on the right one...coming from fab speed xpipe and AA catback in my e92, I have specific sound I am looking for. I am trying to be patient, do not want NASCAR type of sound...doesn't fit car IMO

Thanks for the great review. I ordered my 550xi recently. It's due to be built end of January. I decided to splurge and literally checked every option except the ski bag and ceramic controls. After seeing your pictures and others' I decided on DGMII with Black interior.
I'm coming from an E92 LCI M3 Coupe. Like you, my needs have changed and I can no longer justify the coupe. I needed something bigger but didn't want to sacrifice the performance I am used to. I'm also a gadget guy, and missed a lot of the creature comforts I was used to in the way of cameras, sensors, etc. I'm looking forward to all of the tech in the 550. If only I could put myself in a medically-induced coma until mid-February when it's supposed to turn up! |

Do you detect any difference in the steering feel, precision, road feel, etc. between the 2011 and 2012? Is the 2012 still hydraulic?

Car looks great, congrats. Did you de-badge it yourself using dental floss, or is there a way to order it with no 550i insignia from the factory ? I'm buying a 535i, and thinking about debadging. Thx.

Dental floss and then used debugger/sap car spray to remove the residual sticky stuff....took less than 5 minutes

MBrown1003; Thank you! Sound like a car the I would love! I really really love the Grandfather of V8 6speed 5series the E34 540i/6 so a 550i/6 F10 would be a perfect daily driver in a few years (I don't care about the European fuel prices, you only live once!) Regards Stephan |
