My New 2011 550I M-Sport 90K Miles & Route 66 Extended Warranty 3YR/36K
Some shots I did with my Panasonic Gh4 & 12-35mm Native Lumix Lens, and a little editing in Lightroom.
I upgraded, in my book from a 435i, to this gem of a well maintained 2011 550i with 90K, I understand the deprecation with our wonderful vehicles however I got this puppy on a steal. I decided to go thru PenFed Credit union with a Route 66 Main Street coverage for 36K/3YR Extended on my 90K. The car has a full detailed print out of everything done including the CCP back in 2015, and all work was done at a certified BMW Fields Dealership. The car has no issues as of the 3rd day, so far, and by all means the car is superior in every way. The upgrade of every option almost in the entertainment and seats are far phenomenal then my 2014 435i. The active & comfort seats, are quite amazing. The m-sport it self is quite astonishing as what it does to the F10 in general when it comes to aesthetics and performance at least in the suspension. The wheels, and suspension are a nice pair especially with the upgraded aerodynamics kit. I paired it with the route 66 for piece of mind, I have read about the common issues our N63 runs into, but *Knock on Wood* I have yet to experience anything. Please let me know if there is issues that are common, that I should check for as buying a used 2011 550i. The car was meticulously taken care for. As I do more research and meet some more F10 owners in the Local FL Area, ill decide to upgrade and tinker with all the bells and whistles, until then here is some pics as promised.

Nice ride! Looks great and congrats!
BTW I used to work for West Marine Corp HQ here in NorCal.... I rolled out back in 2003 the exchange environment for in store email, as well as the back end payment processing systems that all happened through our NorCal Data Centers... |

Congrats. Since you have a 2011 M sport like me I would also keep an eye out for the Active Roll Stabilization system that is part of the DHP. BMW bundled this option along with the M sport package for the first year 535i/550 making the package roughly $6500. BMW later took the packages apart from 12-16. These systems are known to leak hydraulic fluid so I would keep an eye out for any signs of fluid spills on the garage floor.

Also thanks for all the love guys, excited to join the F10 club! Things I will do as the pocket allows me too, as follows would be: Suspension either Coilovers or H&R Springs. Wheels 20x__ either deep concave or have my Work VS-XX re lipped and fitted. Diffuser for the msport rear and maybe a front lip with carbon fiber rear spoiler. An exhaust of some sort not sure which route yet, something suttle yet can be awaken. Lol I think with all that it should be me busy and motivated. I also plan on selling my condo and moving into a house. So all my goals are being worked into 2017, with that being said thanks again everyone for all the comments and hopefully you can see the journey as I progress with the F10. |

Anything else I should be aware of on my vehicle? I still have a maintenance package on the car for 9K more miles or like 3 months, thru BMW. What does that cover and anything I should bring up? Also have to take it in for the Fuel Pump Recall from Dec, but since it will be in there anything I should mention? |

Keep in mind tho your OEM shocks are not meant for lowering springs thus reducing the longevity of your shocks. It's been noted here already from several members had their shocks blow/leak not too long after the install. Some had great luck with no issues after years! So just something to think about.
