New to me 2018 M550i

awalgrunt6 · 07-15-2021, 09:37 PM

Just picked up my M550i, and I could not be happier. I have been looking for one with decent options for months and finally found one through CarMax. I had it shipped from MN to MO and they took great care of me. The car is amazing, some rock chips across the front that they will be fixing. Overall very excited to finally own a dream car of mine. I came from a Chevy SS (Holden Commodore) so I am pumped to keep a fast sedan that is super comfortable.

I have been reading the forum and have seen the cluster swaps, and I am interested in that for sure as I do not have the better digital display.

Thank you for the awesome community and info here! I look forward to being apart of it.

Congratulations! What a beauty

That must be a huge comfort upgrade from Chevy SS

I loved the heck out of my 2018 M550. How many miles?

Congrats! Nice looking car! What color is that and what options? I love hearing the details from new owners!

I'm curious, how is carmax going to fix the stone chips? I've found over the years they are impossible to "fix" unless you sand and respray. Touch up sometimes makes them more visible.

Welcome to the forum.
