Thanks! Will do! I was so excited in the showroom I didn't take all that many pics...will take more this week when the sun comes out



Glad to hear you like it! This is my first car in a dark color--I suppose I'll get to know my friendly car wash staff well



Thank you!



Thank you! Attached some pics below, though once the sun comes out will try to get some better ones.

First impressions (in my first BMW)
-I have barely dipped into the throttle but the car is incredibly responsive. I haven't noticed any turbo lag.
-Steering feel is great, especially in Sport mode.
-I got the Pirelli run flats. They are OK, but seem to be pretty loud. I'll try them for a while longer, but suspect I'll end up switching to go-flats in the next few months--I did get the spare tire kit.
-Interior looks great to my eye. I wasn't sure if I would like the Cognac interior, but decided to try it since it seemed to be such a unique color. I'm glad I did--exactly the shade I was hoping for.
-I suspect it is going to take me a while to learn about all of the electronic features. So far, the night vision and HUD are my favorites.
Looks GORGEOUS!

Thank you both so much! It's hard to resist driving this thing--even sitting in it at night with the ambient lighting is wonderful

I agree. I just picked up mine last Friday and feel the same way. I'll go out to the garage and just open up the door to admire the ambient lighting and gorgeous interior.

Enjoy yours in good health!

If the M550 came in imperial blue, that's the color I would have gotten. I went with the Bluestone and just found out that it should be at the dealership on Friday.
Thank you! Congratulations on your new car. I was torn between Bluestone and Imperial Blue--Bluestone is going to look awesome on your car!
