I actually placed an order for an M550xi back in May and will be doing the performance center delivery next month. It's been a tedious wait, but having never done a PCD, I figure it's worth it. . .besides, just builds the anticipation. Funny enough, I actually drove all the way to Lansing just to test drive the M550 since they were the only delearship within 3 hours that had one on the lot at the time. Spoke with the sales manager there who was quite nice and we had a fun chat about BMW and cars over the years. Unfortunately, he didn't think he'd be able to find an allocation in the short time frame I had to do the PCD which turned out to be a good thing as I was able to get a heck of a deal on my car shopping around.
Congrats again! (I drive to Lansing nearly every week so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the M550xi. Surprisingly, I have only seen 1 M5 and no M550s at all on the entire west side of Michigan (few weekends in TC, Holland area, and weekly drives to Lansing).
Have fun!
