vtknight,
Thanks for sharing thoughts and pics. I was just reading a first drive review: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...medium=twitter Realize you are still learning the car, but it says in Sports+, there is an option to open the valves up. Is this simply by entering Sports+ or is there a way to do this manually? Thanks! |

I have yet to get deep into the car - and it has been getting tint and PPF this week - so it's early for me lol. What I will say is comfrot to sport opens the baffle and increases the external and internal exhaust note. That happens the moment you activate S or S+. It is automatic. There may be a way to activate/open the exhaust baffle manually through the quote deep idrive - but I haven't gotten there yet. I can say comfort is eerily quiet and prefer Sport as the sound is mich better and I don't like the ignition start/stop of comfort or eco. I still believe that is hard on the car and hasnt been proven to have much benefit. |

Congrats on the car and thanks for the writeup. Damn I want those wheels. I need to have these wheels. Still pissed BMWNA didn't offer this option.

Sorry -- I'm confused by your answer. Yes, it starts back up in the mode you left it (Sport or Sport+)? Or yes, it defaults back to Comfort every time?

The greater concern to me is the lack of fully digital dash on the US models - and even small things like no M badging - which isn't changing. |

Both Car and Driver and now Road and Track have given the M550ix solid reviews. CD was particularly harsh on the G30 earlier - so that was a surprise for the latest review.
I will find the links... |

"It's a lease - but I love cars..."
I hear you. I dropped about $6k on my F31 to have it prepped after delivery, even though it's a lease. Wouldn't do it any other way. Car looks great! Congratulations!
