550i Arrived last Friday - first weekend thoughts
I picked up my 550 this past Friday and here are my thoughts and impressions after the first weekend and 100 miles.
The good: • OH GOD WHAT AN ENGINE, even when entering a highway onramp I’m using about 1/4th of the throttle to get into 70MPH trafficThe bad: • Even with the HUD I still get the reflections on the windshield that people complain about (from both the HUD and the center speaker), and with the brightness all the way up I get an orange rectangle on the windshield as well (I know, simple solution, turn down the brightness)Things I would have done differently: • Add the Convenience Package, for no other reason than the soft close doors. The car is so air tight that more often than not it takes more than one attempt to close the doors |

Ordered mine last week, production is scheduled for the 44th week. I can't wait for it's arrival. I love the power of the 550i. What is a VC6 Combox?

Sub. Prod: 2010/10/40 Conf. Prod: 2010/10/43 These are on my order form. They are year/month/week, correct? Now, when is my car going into production? I'm assuming that Conf. Prod. means confirmed production and it is going to happen on the 43rd week. What is Sub. Prod. with the 40th week? Which one did you pick to figure out that your car is scheduled for the 44th week? |

http://f10.5post.com/forums/attachme...9&d=1278946032 the short version is there are a few updates to the iPod interface and bluetooth functionality. I stream a lot of Pandora and Slacker radio through my iPhone, I would have love to be able to do that over a bluetooth connection rather than having to connect via the Y-cable. Yes, you should have this on your build. |
