New F10 550i M-Sport Owner
Hello All. Just wanted to share my new (to me) toy with the community. A little background. I previously had an F10 535 M-Sport and loved everything about it. But I traded it for something different. I went into a '16 F16 X6 M-Sport. Let me tell you that the grass is not always greener. I really did like the X6 for its utilitarianism and its athleticism for its size; however, it was not very comfortable on long trips (as I spend a lot of my time in the car for work). Had this for 6 months and just knew I had to get back into an F10. The G30 was nice, but there is just something about the F10 that ticks a lot of boxes for me. I started looking for an M5, but when I really thought about it, it may have been too much. So, I came across this beauty of a M-Sport 550i. It is a 2015 with low miles and the previous owner already started the modding process by putting on the M-sport CF mirror caps and CF spoiler. This plus I always thought white on an F10 looked amazing. So, here I am loving the compromise of pure comfort and huge power. Mods planned are CF diffuser, M5 exhaust, window tint, coding, and spacers. BTW just got back from the BMW performance driving school in Greer, SC and now I can't help but take the "racing line" on most turns. haha..... Anyway, thanks for reading.

Nice. I would recommend the 90c thermostat mod.

Congrats!
Nothing like an Alpine White 550i I hope you were smarter than me and got one with EDC. That's the only regret I have. I came over from the world of MB and didn't know much about BMWs and the options I DEFINITELY MUST have. |

Thanks! My apologies for this ignorant question, but what is EDC? If this is like Adaptive Drive, then I do not have that. I will say that for the type of somewhat spirited driving I do the standard suspension set up fits the bill pretty well. I say this never have driven a 550 with AD.
