First Pictures of my 550 Msport

Mtechnique · 04-10-2011, 02:56 PM

I took these pics yesterday in a rare sunny day
Not my best efforts but you can see the Oyster Napa and how it works with AW. I love the car so far But I am yet to activate the Full connectivity features as I do not have an Iphone.

I do worry a little about the interior getting marked. So any potential passengers must prove that they have washed their Jeans at least 5 times before they are allowed in!

Mods planned:
Black Kidneys
HRE 590s with Black centers
No lowering or messing with gizzilion dollars of BMW R&D !

I would have loved the DCT
Having said that the manual shifts is Sport+ mode are pretty impressive on this..

Beautiful car! That black dash is just gorgeous. I like the AW / Oyster combo, too!

If you are going to be selling those wheels, PM me.

Ooohh, beautiful car. The F10 M Sport is really fantastic in white.
I really like the black panel display also. I´m really sorry it wasn´t available when I ordered my car.

Congratulations on a fantastic car.

j3o3t3 · 04-10-2011, 09:24 PM

beautiful, cant wait until mine gets here.

Enjoy, look forward to seeing more of you and your 550i Msport AW .

Very nice! I have the tan interior on my 528 and have noticed that the driver's seat gets a blue cast around the edge where I slide on and off the seat. In the three months I've owned the car, I've cleaned the driver's seat bottom lightly twice and each time I get quite a bit of blue off of the leather. My pants are probably two years old and they still shed blue dye. Does anyone know if there is a leather sealer available to keep the seats from getting dirty so fast? I'm afraid if I keep cleaning the seat every month or two that eventually the finish will ware off prematurely.

Were you heading south on the Hutchinson River Parkway this afternoon....around 2pm Scarsdale area?

FWIW, for several years I had Volkswagen GTIs along with my E39s. The second GTI was "Silverstone" (dark silver), with matching leather interior. First weekend I had the car, I drove to NY (about 3.5 hours from where I live outside of Boston). I wore blue jeans down and black jeans home. The driver's seat picked up some of the color from the jeans. I cleaned and conditioned the seat with Lexol products (no, I don't work for them). It got the color off, and I never had that problem again.

Beautiful Car. You may want to consider getting the BMW molded mud flaps for it as well. I put them on my non sport model and they look awesome. IMHO

JSCO · 04-13-2011, 06:30 AM

yum yum...great choice

EdM5 · 04-13-2011, 01:35 PM

Fantastic car. Love those tags

IND-Distribution · 04-13-2011, 11:05 PM

Great color combo, very classy.

Krill · 04-15-2011, 10:57 AM

Gorgeous car!! Congrats!

ModBargains.com · 04-15-2011, 02:25 PM

Car looks great and with those few exterior modifications it'll look even better. I'd recommend that the OEM BMW Performance front grills and the matte black for the car to start off. Here are a few pictures for you to check out!

Ordered same color combo. Think the oyster looks great up against the black anthracite head liner.

RC3 · 04-23-2011, 09:29 AM

Congrats. Great Combo.

Love the black dash.

Loose the front reflectors and you will be looking good.
