That is one bad-assed looking machine.

Good luck and congrats.

BTW, why are cars always referred to with feminine pronouns ("she's" here)? I've never heard someone say about their car: "he's a great one" or "he's here."

Congrats, fantastic car!
The mighty 550i seems like overkill for the streets of Mauritius.

Congrats and nice car... you might want to double check the paint of your front bumper. It is too much of a different than the hood based on your picture.

Because that is one sexy car and the real fun only happens when you get inside of it. Don't know about you, but I don't want to be getting intimate with a male car.

Congrats on the new ride!

Most men who look at an object (car, boat, etc) with affection would more easily apply that affection to a she/her rather then he/him.

Even Clark Griswolds brother-in-law Eddie from Christmas Vacation replied "She's a beaut Clark" when seeing his christmas light display for the first time.

Awesome -congrats! - does Mauritius get the same spec as South African models? I love your island btw - I'm told my great grand-dad hailed from there - anyway, AW was my first color choice, but I settled on Graphite...

So, Vishwen - did you pick up your beast on Friday? Any pics of delivery? Need a nice photo-shoot of your 550 with the some awesome background of Mitius...
