550i xDrive Delivered!!

Today I took delivery of my 2013 550i xDrive. Words cannot describe how happy I am. Here are the details:

Carbon Black M Sport
Cinnamon Brown Leather
Brushed aluminium trim
Cold Weather package
Sport Auto Tranny
Dynamic Damper Control
Power Sunshades
BMW Aps

This one will stay stock for a while, at least until it's off warranty (then Dinan will get a call). The only thing I plan to add until then is premium unleaded... lots of it...

Thank all. I went back and forth between the Black Dakota and Cinnamon Brown. But once I saw CB in person, I was sold. The other option that I considered was the Executive Package, mainly to get the upgraded stereo. I decided against it, as I really didn't want to spend another $4500... built as is was pretty much my budget. Well, I can say that I'm very, very happy with the sound quality of the "base" stereo in the US spec 550. I loaded up U2's "Bad" from the Wide Awake in America" album and listened to all glorious 8 minutes of it. While I'm no audiophile, to my layman ears it was superb. I'll post some better pictures if the sun every comes out here in The Netherlands....

Beautiful! Mine has cinnamon brown interior too, and I absolutely love it, too! It looks especially nice with the perforations that come with ventilated seats. Enjoy!

Very nice!!

Was it cheaper to get a US version of the car? As a Dutchman it takes time to adjust to those extra orange blinkers ;-)
