Had my first 550 sighting on the road today.

One nice thing about a new model like the F10 is that they aren't littering the highway like tossed garbage. Was tooling down the 133 in California heading for the 241 and had the pleasure of watching a silver 550 for about 15 minutes. Got a good eyeful from all angles till I exited and he continued for another exit.

One thing that was interesting is how nicely the car handled the transitions from road to bridge segments in the highway. While my 335 thumped across the bumps, he looked like he was gliding along. Now I know this is not as "sporty" as a ride can be, but to my aging bones it looked pretty fine. My guess is he was flying "comfort eagle" on his suspension settings - I know I would be if that is what I was driving home after a long day at work.
