Just became a memeber! I bought a 550xi 8/2010, did not drive much in winter. Great car on dry roads. Live somewhere near Lowell, mass.

I waited 13 weeks - thinking I deserve some type of medal...

Here's a few pix of mine from PCD in South Carolina last month.

Hey - thanks! I really like the aluminum trim, especially with the black leather. I ordered it without seeing in person, and was happily surprised when I took delivery how good it looks.

Probably ordering a Carbon Black M-Sport 550i in a few weeks for Euro Delivery over the summer.

Congrats. I was going to say it will be a long wait, but I guess things aren't too bad for you driving your e90 m3 until ED

And then while waiting for the <bleep>ing thing to get here after driving it on the autobahn!

Glad to see another F10 with a manual transmission, too!!

Yeah, this car is so much more engaging to drive with the 6 speed IMO. You'll definitely want to install a modified CDV, improves the clutch feel/action 100%!

About a month ago, I was on vacation for 10 days. The only driving I did was one day in a Nissan Altima. When I got home, I put my luggage into my house, hopped into the car, and went for a nice, long drive. THEN I unpacked.

The cool thing is that here -- and in the BMW CCA -- that's normal!!

Long-overdue update (and sorry for the oversized pix).

I ordered an F10 550i in May, did a Euro Delivery on August 1, and got it back here earlier this week.

The car -- and I -- will be at the BMW CCA Boston Chapter Concours d'Elegance on Saturday, September 24 at the Museum of Transportation in Brookline. Not sure if I will have it on display or not. It's a little hard to do the final detailing while running registration and scoring.

If you attend, please come to the registration tent and say hi.

Nice! Wish I did ED, not sure I would have had the cojones to take it round the ring though...

Not going to be around Saturday, maybe another event!

I wasn't sure I would, either, especially since it was raining as I got there. After about 30 minutes, I said to my traveling companion (my 81-year-old father), "this is what I came here for; I'm doing it!" And he sat in the passenger seat for both laps.

I'm in the fray

I live in Derry NH and love my new 550I. I am enjoying all the posts about this wonderful car, and am trying to get the Dinan Stage two software, but my car won't take it so far.

Welcome. When I got Stage 1 in Feb it took about 3hrs, the tech had to keep going back and forth with Dinan to get it done. Just upgraded to Stage 2 and it was done in 45 mins. Good luck & post some pix of your car!

FYI, the Boston Chapter Concours was rained out in September. The rain date is Sunday, October 30 at the Museum of Transportation in Brookline.
