I... LOVE the LCI. The headlights, taillights, and fogs are pure awesome.

Agreed. That's how I feel everytime. But once you feel that, you'll want moreeee. That's why the M5 is my next car or M4. Can't get enough.

I don't understand the BMW strategy: 1 series and 3 series have an option for M Sport Brakes, but also an option for M Performance Brakes; 5 series, 6 series and 7 series, even equipped with M Sport Pack haven't such options
Standard calipers are not impressive at all! |

While i do agree the look of the 550 calipers isn't as beautiful as the BMW Performance brakes in the 3 series they stop the car very well. I was bedding in my brakes over the weekend doing multiple hard 80-30mph braking sessions and i was very surprised just how much they bite. I am wondering if BMW updated anything with the brakes or if the 550 has larger ones because my 535 never stopped this good.

Thanks! I didn't know what I've been missing when i had my 535. I always knew the 550 was a beast but this new motor is absolutely insane. Can't even imagine what an M5 would feel like.
Nothing else to mod besides swapping wheels when they arrive in November. Alan

Back when I had deciding power for purchasing...I drove the 535(after choosing it over the 528) and 550 repeatedly -- in the end, I chose the 550 just because I loved rocketing onto the highway so smoothly without the wifey and daughter feeling too overwhelmed haha. We were supposed to eye the 528 and debate between that or an E-Class from Mercedes. My natural inclinations piloted me into the 550...so I could hit two birds with one stone; spouse receives xdrive while I am rewarded speed/power to match the way I outfit my machines. |

Your car looks great as always Alan. Did you do anything to the chrome inserts on the door handles, and if so what? That is one of the last bits of chrome on mine.

I'd like to know how you're finding the tune as well.

Welcome to the 550i club Yes the 550 is amazing and obviously you're loving it. I just can't believe you swapped out a 2013 to a 2014. Did you lose any money on the deal? I got a loaner from BMW and they gave me a 535; I hated it! LOL... Give me back my 550i haha
