My new Mediterranean Blue M550...
Hello,
I picked up my Mediterranean Blue M550 a few days ago and wanted to share some pictures as well as first impressions. This is my first car that I actually ordered, instead of picking from whatever was on the lot. My M550 included cold weather package, driving assistant package, executive package, parking assistant package, 668m wheels with Michelin Pilot tires and, of course, Dynamic handling package. All I can say is that this is the best looking and best handling car I have ever owned. Coming from 2015 F10 550i without DHP, this M550 does feel handle like it is on rails, despite having M5 343m wheels and sticky tires on my old 550i. As far as the power, it does feel more nimble and faster than my BMS stage1 550i. The engine is rated at very similar HP and TQ numbers as old n63tu. When Dinan dynoed stock G30 at a lot higher numbers than stock F10, using the same dyno equipment, I did not really believe the numbers. However, after driving G30 for a few days, I do believe them now no offence, Dinan. The infotainment system is light years ahead from F10, not sure if I even need to code the car as most of the stuff that I would change in F10 is available in G30 to be customized via iDrive. Storage space in the trunk that is with a spare is awesome, despite the fact that the spare eats up some space. The interior storage space is also much better than F10. Just got my K40 installed, Thinkware dashcam as well LLumar CTX ceramic 15% tint all around. For people with dashcams, I used to have a battery tucked in my glove box and charging from cigarette lighter outlet under the glove box, now I pulled the wired to the trunk and there is a cigarette lighter outlet on the right side, right by the fuse box. If you ever looking for any M car, and do not mind purchasing a car in the Chicago Northwest suburbs, drop me a note as my SA made the whole purchasing experience better than I have ever expected, not just the price and I found this SA at Knauz BMW from a fellow BMW owner on this forum. My SA, Matt, is a true BMW enthusiast and really does care about his customers, not just making a buck. If you are skeptical, you will just have to believe me like I believed someone on this forum. |
