Me, 550i GT white with white interior. About 6K miles. Not sure of packages. Has every option available in Dec 2009, including the rear luxury seating (sometime after that date things got moved into packages, so we have options that are not available in normal packages today). Absolutely love the the car in all aspects with the exception of the tires. They are run flats, but we refer to them as the stay flats.

I'm positive if you change the brand/type of tires, your issues should be resolved. I also recall you were one of the first to take delivery. I took delivery of mine last December as well.
I know we arent the only two GT owners, but I would have to say very likely we are among the first to take delivery stateside

California GT 550i Owner here. Love my new GT, just took delivery at the end of September and have been loving every moment with it. In comparison to my other car, the 335i sport convertible, it is a completely different vehicle. My GT came equipped with the Sport, Luxury, and Dynamic Suspension package as well as the Convenience package and handful of other options like the power rear sunshades. Sophisto Grey with the black dakota leather. Love the white leather though. I think the white leather would have provided a better contrast at night for the door's ambient lighting.

We Exist!
Relish in the fact that you "all" have a unique vehicle that is an incredible value. I think its fair to say if we wanted a sportier Bimmer we could have easily went for one. Competion is heating up in this class, yet none offer the outright luxury, utility, and performance of the GT. Also - nothing against the F10 if I was single I might have purchased one. But I would have hated the fact of seeing one on almost every corner like I do now here in South Florida 528's, 535's, 1 or 2 550's... to compound this it seems like the dealers have loaded up with 528 loaners, because I seem them everywhere. The F10 has barely been out 2 months but it seems the market is getting flooded with them - which of course is a good thing for BMW.

Your gas mileage should improve once the engine starts to break in. Be glad you have X drive, because if you unleash the fury of 450 lbs/ft of torque you are going to be glad you have the extra traction. Truth be told the RWD versions are capable of putting the power down as well

I can't figure out why gas mileage would be lowered after break-in. Anybody enlighten me the technical reasons behind. |

Hi, I've been following this forum for some time, but haven't done much posting.
I can proudly say that last week we took delivery of a Sophisto Gray 530d GT with cinnamon interior. Coming from a 2006 320dT M-sport, I just love the size and power compared to the old car. I love this car Last edited by TobyT; 11-02-2010 at 08:59 AM.. |

Modern engines don't have as significant a difference as in the past but it still happens and could be worth 1 or even 2 mpg depending on circumstances

Delighted with my Sapphire Black 530d SE
Based in Warwickshire, United Kingdom.
Sapphire Black 530dSE with Ivory White Interior and Matt Fineline Wood Trim. I was not initially convinced by the looks, but with the right color and spec, esp 19" or 20" alloys; the looks grow on you (and evidently all those people who have stopped me in car parks to say the car is 'smart'). Still relatively rare so happy I moved up from the E60 to the F07 The 530d is an epic engine: superb acceleration, low end torque which the 'Sport' chassis.drivetrain and 'D-Sport' gear setting; can get 31 mpg UK in mixed driving and 35 mpg UK on long runs. The interior is simply outstanding. Most bits come from the 7-series parts bin, not the 5-Series and the space, build quality and finish is just superb. Funny thing is, they have even fixed the headlight washer which now does not spray the entire front bonnet (just after you have waxed your car!!). |

Neptune Blue 535i GT since May 2010 with all the luxury options and not many of the performance ones (came from a 207 335i with the opposite configuration).
Love the car - long trips with lots of luggage, backseat passengers watching DVDs and me settled into the nappa leather, getting 31 mpg highway. Have yet to see another one around, but I get lots of compliments on the design...even the exterior. Rear view camera is a must, and it's a tight squeeze into many Seattle area parking spaces. |

Black 530D GT SE, venetian leather, comfort pack, visibility pack, some other pack I can't remember the name of. Had it a month, loving the luxury, getting used to the body roll - waiting for the MPG to improve on the new engine (only getting 28mpg UK mixed Driving)...nice car though, great for taking the family out...
